What?! Uh, no... I couldn't have been that tight! ...Could I?

(Uh-oh, she's looking worried.)

-No... It wasn't Sthesia's fault... She didn't know he has bruises...-

"You didn't do anything bad, Sthe— Sthesia..."

-Still getting caught up on her name...-

"...I've got bruises... They hurt..."

-...OK, why is this poor kid bruised?-

Link gestures on the tablet again. Three strands of blue light flow out of the front, then another three, moving in vertical counterpoint to each other — once — twice — then they turn red and fade away.

"Wasn't just a fluke, huh..."

I'd say "school bullies," but considering how this seems to be a recent thing...

...Nah, I won't shank anyone here. Maybe I'll punch 'em. Let those grown adults finally lose their baby teeth.

Main Room (Young Aichi)

-N-No one here did it...! These are just some bruises from back home that haven't healed up yet! He gets beaten up a lot back home so some of the really bad bruises are still there...-

"N-No! Don't hurt anybody, Muramasa!"

-He actually spoke quite a bit louder that time. He really doesn't want Muramasa to hurt somebody.-

"I-I got hurt back home... Everyone here has been really nice to me...!"

-Oh crud, is he starting to cry...?-

"P-Please don't hurt anybody...!"

-He knows what it's like to be punched... He doesn't want anybody else to have to feel it too...-

Fuggit, this is why I'm terrible with kids...

Sorry, Aichi... I didn't know...

Is there anything I can cheer you up with?

(glances back at Sthesia)

Sorry, "freak it." Look, just because I was raised in feudal Japan doesn't mean everything that comes out of my mouth is rinsed with nine gallons of soap.

-The poor kid's crying...-

"I just don't want anybody to get hurt...!"

-He's still caught up on that...-

-OK, you guys might need to figure out how to distract him from this...-

...

(she looks back at Aichi, looking... almost guilty and sad?)

(but then she looks back at Sthesia, her expression hardening again and voice suddenly gaining a sense of authority)

Ice cream. Freezer. Strawberry. "Do Not Touch." NOW.

(Sthesia tries to calm down) Shushushush... it's okay, Aichi, no-one's gonna hurt anyone, OK?

...Hey, I know. Would you like some sweets?

(And she quickly snaps her attention to Mura) Thank you! (And zips straight for the freezer.)

-Well, Sthesia speaking gently with him is helping a bit... He sniffles, but before he can even respond to Sthesia she rushes off to the freezer.-

"..."

-...Strawberry ice cream does sound nice...-

#1298765: Feb 5th 2018 at 2:21:43 PM

(that's a tub of ice cream with a label marked "DO NOT TOUCH OR YOU DIE")

(it's a pint, meant for one person... but it's got enough for the kid!)


(sighs forlornly, arms crossed)

I'll miss you, Ben and Jerry...

(then she looks back at Aichi)

...So. Tell me 'bout these bullies of yours.

BRB for the next hour

...!?

-Hayato shudders awake and shoots upright, looking right at Link-

...Ah....Ah...Just you...

-He exhales, and rubs his eyes-

(It's not long before Sthesia is back with the clearly marked tub, with a spoon as well.)

Here you go, Aichi! Strawberry ice cream, for you!

(She gives it to Aichi.)

Main Room (Young Aichi)

-Aichi's still sniffling a bit, but the idea of the ice cream kind of makes him snap out of that.-

"T-Thank you, Muramasa... T-Thank you, Sth...esia..."

-Still not quite there with your name yet, Sthesia...-

-And we get to hear our most sad 'Thank you for the food' yet.-

"Thank you for the food*..."

-He takes a bite of the ice cream. It tastes really good and it helps quite a bit, but he's still down...-

-Muramasa's asking about the bullies back home... He doesn't like talking about it... It usually gets him beaten up more, but like he realized before the bullies won't get to him here...-

"...A-All the kids at school... beat me up..."

-'All' is naturally something of an exaggeration, but he really is beaten up by a bunch of kids. And when he's not being beaten up he's being made fun of... which his entire class joins in on.-

"A-And they... make fun of me..."

-He's eating more of the ice cream now. He needs this.-

Main Room (Young Aichi)

-...Bugs?-

-Aichi's still eating the ice cream.-

"...I never really thought about it..."

-...Now that he thinks about it other kids his age seem to enjoy trying to catch bugs... Or at least that's what it seems like they're doing sometimes when he seems some kids doing stuff outside.-

Yeah...Must have slipped while I was working.
