So I've got a bit of a problem. These memories we've been getting showed me there's these creatures I used to deal with called Nobodies. It's weird, but they don't have hearts, but they look human. Most of them. Some are really weird looking gray monsters. There was guys in black coats too that were Nobodies. They were the human kind. I don't get why they looked human but the monster ones didn't. I was good about ignoring the memories until I remembered that I'm apparently one of them??? And it's making me wonder how we can tell if we have hearts in the first place? Not the beating in your chest to keep you alive kind. What's the point of a heart since emotions are chemical reactions? Is not having one okay? My biggest question is: how do I tell my twin that I'm not human and we're not related in a way that won't make them have a complete breakdown???

I don't mind. Haven't had a fancy ramen not out of a cup in a long time, so it'll be good.

Maybe something with less head injuries. Are you interested in boxing?

[missingache]

I'll find a good place then and we can meet up there for lunch.

A little. Micchan mentioned being in kickboxing once, and it looks like a good way to get out extra energy.

[compendiem]

Alright. Why don't you have Micchan teach you kickboxing then?

[ He has... no idea who Micchan is, haha ]

[missingache]

[Micchan is Micchan as in Minako. Minato, learn the nicknames your cousins and sister have for each other.]

I could, but it might be easier if I asked her boyfriend or another trainer. I don't think I want my own cousin beating on me for training.

[compendiem]

[ Minato doesn't even know Minako has a boyfriend?? It's been half a year and he's this out of touch with everything, oh my god. ]

Do we have more cousins?

[ Clearly Shiori means another cousin. ]

[missingache]

[Yes. As far as Shiori knows they're still dating.]

No?

Wait.

I'm talking about about Minako. Who'd you think I was talking about?

[compendiem]

Some long lost cousin named Micchan...

[missingache]

Micchan is my nickname for Minako. I've called her that since we were little.

[compendiem]

That's such a surreal concept. A little Minako with a cute nickname.

[missingache]

I can't tell over text if you're making fun of her or you actually are surprised.

[compendiem]

Maybe a bit of both. I only know her to a certain point, and all of that was so long ago. So it's hard to imagine.

[missingache]

You didn't have a nickname for her?

[compendiem]

Nothing cute like "Micchan." She was always there. If I needed her, I'd just have to turn around and poke her on the shoulder or something.

[missingache]

Sora was way too active to be like that. I liked reading and he just wanted to explore. I call him Socchan.

[compendiem]

And you were Shiorin or something? We were kind of like that. Minako always wanted to be outside. Dragged me along with her. I'd bring along a field guide or something, so I could be a part of that too.

[missingache]

Sho or Shio to them. Sora stopped trying to drag me along after he made friends.

[compendiem]

He probably thought he'd be bothering you. It's natural, though. Having your own set of friends, your own hobbies, that sort of stuff.

[missingache]

He could have asked me instead of assuming. Why are siblings so weird?

[compendiem]

It's in the job description, maybe. Did you ever tell him?

[missingache]

Yes. Back when there was yelling and crying.

[compendiem]

Right... At least he knows now. This sounds like stuff we'd better save for Saturday, though. In my opinion, the best way to tell him is just to tell him, but I hope you get better advice from others.

[missingache]

Alright. Thanks... I'll see you on Saturday then!
