Sins of the Father

"Of course we are. She's my Guardian. So, Senthose, is that all?"

<There really is the pressing matter of keeping us out of your head.>

"...Thanks. You've been a big help."

*Senthose dissolves into Pyreflies.*

"No, I meant romantically." Ingrid said, sighing.

*Hitomi remains seated, clutching the remains of her book to her chest almost like she's hugging it.*

[I should have thanked Luna right away when she took me to get the book restored. But I couldn't. And my first attempt at trying was unsuccesful. Then when I finally managed to it didn't mean anything because she didn't remember. I finally did, but I wish I could've thanked her before that wretched beast Sin appeared and all but destroyed it.]

*Luna turns bright red.*

"I...what? But...but that doesn't make any sense, she's a she & I'm a her. How could we...that?"

Ingrid turns red too, though for different reasons, "It isn't so weird, is it? I mean, girls can fall for girls if they want to, right? It is perfectly natural!"

"NO! ...I don't think so...we could ask Senthose?"

Ingrid felt gut punched, "YES! It is natural! I'm perfectly fine! I may be a fucking heathen, and murderer, but when it comes to this I'm perfectly natural!" Ingrid stopped for a second, "I mean... you and Hitomi are perfectly natural."

*Luna starts tearing up.*

"WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME!?"

Ingrid blushed again, "I'm not, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell, I just- you just. I'm sorry, don't cry!"

*Hitomi puts her forehead to her knees and shuts her eyes.*

[These feelings are strange and unfamiliar. I don't know what to do about them.]

*Ark stands up and sighs, then decides to go wait outside the Farplane. Walking up Guadosalam, he notices Hitomi sitting there and stopped, turning away from her and just standing there waiting.*

[It used to be different. What's wrong...?]

*She buries her face into her hand, sniffs, & shudders several times. When she removes her hand, she has a creepy stony expression on her face, with the red & poofy eyes.*

"We should ask the others about Senthose's Unsent Theory."

*She then turns & rigidly walks out of the Farplane.*

Ingrid was about to put a hand on Luna's shoulder and apologize again when she looked up at her, causing Ingrid to jump slightly. "Are... you alright Luna, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." She said, following after her.

"Feelings are inefficient. We must focus on the mission."

*She says this while walking down to Hitomi & Ark.*

"Senthose says he believes there may be an Unsent behind all of this."

"Oh my god... did I break you?" She asked, remembering that Luna was no stranger to mental damage, losing her memory once before.

*Hitomi looks up at Luna, blinking a few times.*

[That's not how Luna usually looks.]

*Ark is also surprised to see Luna like that, but does his best to keep an expression of indifference on his face and shrugs once she talks about Senthose's theory.*

*She snaps her fingers.*

"Focus, people, the Unsent, we need to find out who it could be."

*Hitomi's forehead returns to her knees.*

[I don't like this.]

Lesbianism has turned her into a robot. Ingrid shook her head, "A-alright, do you have any ideas?"

"Why do I always have to come up with all of the ideas?"

"Because you're the party leader, were the decision up to me I can't honestly say that I wouldn't just wander around from place to place looking for menial tasks to do for random people, despite there being more pressing things to do."

[I don't like her sudden personality change. I should've stayed inside. Maybe... No. I wouldn't have been able to stop it from happening.]

"I'm going to bed!"

*After announcing this, Luna storms back to the airship.*

"What?!" Ingrid called out, "Don't we have things to--" Ingrid let out a sigh, "Whatever." Ingrid finished, heading towards the airship as well.
