4;; ☁ [ AUDIO ] ( Slightly backdated to the morning after the nightmare event )
[ When the feed starts there's first a brief pause before she speaks up, her voice shaky but obviously she's trying too hard to keep some kind of control over it. It's not working. ]
I want to go home..
[ There are bad dreams and bad dreams, and last night's was definitely the latter kind. If the whole stream of sights hadn't been bad enough already there had been something in there that had belonged to her personally, not to mention the glimpses of other familiar people. ]
I.. want to see dad again.. And th-- Mom..
[ She hics and there's a suppressed sob before she goes on. ]
P-please..

[ Action ]
... Besides, her dad wouldn't want her to be sad. That she knows.
She moves her arm up to her face and attempts to wipe off the left over tears with it, still letting out another quick sniffle. ]
Uh-huh. We're.. together. [ Family. ]
[ Action ]
[And he offers her a small, reassuring smile, hooking the end of his shirt sleeve around his thumb to reach over and gently dab at some of the tears that are still wet on her face, trickling down her eyelashes.]
lil sis.
[His smile grows and he lowers his hand to close it around one of hers.]
[ Action ]
Hmm! And it's kind of like at home, when dad.. would sometimes not c-come home at night either...
[ At least he was there more than here and-- no, she can't think of that now. She has to be strong too, right? Surely everyone in here misses their family and friends.. ]
S-so it's okay!
[ Action ]
I know it might be tough - but as long as we're together, we'll be just fine.
[He smiles again, against her hair.]
Soon -
[He almost says 'you'. But then he remembers Nanako is from November.]
- we'll be back in Inaba - might have to keep this a secret, though.
[He gives a little chuckle.]
Your dad might think I've been reading you weird stories or something, otherwise.
[ Action ]
I'm sure.. Big bro is really reliable, so it will be alright. A-and I have to try my best too..!
[ At that last bit she stops for a moment though and her expression and tone turn a bit pouty. ]
... Would dad start fighting with you again over it?
