[Ordinary or Supernatural- it has just been forever since they had talked at all.]

I don't know. I haven't really thought too much about it. Perhaps, work a bit more on my communication skills. And you? Do you have any goals this year?

[pinnedbangs]

[Communication skills? Huh? This is good! Super good!]

Yeah, you should text me more often! One sided conversations suck, you know! [There's a pause, as though Rin might be shaking his head or smiling.]

...I don't have one. I wanna make sure dad's okay, but that's not a goal.

[has_too_many_moles]

I suppose that's true... Niisan? What would you do If I told you that one of the reasons why I don't want to leave the school has to deal with Dad?

[pinnedbangs]

That wouldn't make sense... You got into True Cross after all that studyin'! The old man would be proud of you.

[has_too_many_moles]

Niisan... Have you ever noticed the way I spoke about dad recently? What tenses I use?

[pinnedbangs]

No? ...We haven't spoken much about anything, much less about dad.

[has_too_many_moles]

... Dad isn't doing so well from where I came from niisan. Technically speaking... I'm older then you, just because I am from a later time.

[ . . . Yukio, this is not the time for prank calls.]

You're my little brother, no matter the time. You know you're not making sense. How're we supposed to be from different times? We came here at the same time!

[has_too_many_moles]

[Ah.. and there goes Yukio's confidence as shaky as it was in the first place. Time to duck and cover, once more.]

I suppose so. I must be more exhausted then I thought. Sorry about that.

[pinnedbangs]

[Nuh-uh, lil bro. They got this far. If Rin could hold Yukio down with his stare alone, he would have done so.]

Not exhausted enough to bring it up. ...What happened to the old man? Did something go down while I was at the supermarket?

[has_too_many_moles]

Niisan, never mind. You are right about what you said. I am just tired.

[pinnedbangs]

[He knows he can't push the topic anymore. Rin will have to try again later.]

I am right. Big brothers are never wrong, duh. ...At least tell me that dad's okay.

[has_too_many_moles]

Dad... He is okay.

[pinnedbangs]

[It's a positive answer but something's not right. Rin doesn't like the feeling of dread that's settled upon him.]

Okay. ...So. What were you doin' before now? Getting ready for bible club?

[has_too_many_moles]

[He tried bro, at least that counts for something right?]


That was yesterday, niisan. I am just heading back to the dorms.

[pinnedbangs]

[SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE]

Oh. ...How was it?
