[ A: 751 partridge drive; action for household ]

[ As Mikiya wakes up, there's a few things he's sure of. Those being that he definitely didn't fall asleep here last night (especially not next to a woman he didn't even know), the glasses lying on the nightstand definitely weren't his, the guy in the photographs could definitely never be him even

B also 1/???

[emptyshrine]

[SO BECAUSE I FUCKING SAY SO Shiki is so bored that her walk has taken her into the pharmacy instead of just roaming around everywhere, this is legit okay. But wow pharmacy and drugs this stuff is not interesting just gonna mosey on back out now.

EXCEPT.]

2/? man i'll tell you when i done

[emptyshrine]

[Wow that guy sure looks a lot like Mikiya...

Nah it's probably just Tohno or something and nobody likes talking to Tohno. (nottalking)]

[emptyshrine]

[But then she hears him talk and sure she mistook Tohno for him when she first got here, but she would never forget Mikiya's voice, even after all the time she's been here.

Which basically means--]

[emptyshrine]

[WHAT THE FUCK.]

B 1/?

[diafryougi]

[She sounds nervous and excited

but more nervous because there's a guy who looks exactly like mikiya WELP

what if she mistakened Mikiya for Tohno!?

that would be awful...]

omg nami you and kaye will be the end of me

[bearhersins]

[ Oh god no, why are there already customers. He's still busy reading up on all this and trying to figure out some way to do this at least semi-decently, but-- that's definitely a voice he recognizes. And so his head snaps up, finding exactly who he thought would be there. There's a flash of surprise. ]

A.. Azaka? [ WAIT why is his imouto in a place like this.. THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT. ] Of course it's me, who else would it be-- [ Wait, that part isn't important right now. ] No, more importantly, what are you doing here?

[Hilda makes a habit of stopping by the pharmacy to see how Holland is doing. She recognizes that the person behind the counter isn't one of the regular drones right away.]

Hi! You're new here?

[bearhersins]

[ Oh, it's a regular customer (or so Mikiya, thinks either way) - he straightens up immediately, putting down the papers he was looking over, even if he's still looking slightly unsure over this whole thing. She tries to smile, but it's a bit sheepishly. ]

That's right, I was.. um.. assigned this job just today, so please bear with me. Did you come here to pick up anything?

[backinblackcity]

Oh, no, someone from my house works here, so I stop by sometimes. I'm Hilda! It's nice to meet you.

[bearhersins]

Ah, nice to meet you too, in that case. My name is Mikiya, Mikiya Kokutou.

So what's the name of the person who works here from your house? Maybe I'll get to talk to him sometime.

[Today is the stupid mirror image special.

The day where Shiki has been through this enough so now he wants to have fun. By mimicking what Mikiya is doing.]

[bearhersins]

[ At first it takes him a moment to notice that someone is there, but when he actually looks up he sees.. well, himself. And since his actions are being copied, he maybe does really idly think it's a mirror for a moment and goes back to reading..

But then he realises that he was fairly sure there wasn't any mirror hanging right in front of him. It's impossible.

And so his head snaps back up, a surprised expression appearing on his face as he looks at the other guy. It takes a moment for the surprise to switch to a slight frown. ]

... Don't tell me they have something ridiculous like clones here too..

[artwithknives]

....no, no they don't.

[bearhersins]

So you're instead going to tell me right now that you are just a guy who happens to look exactly like me?

[Don't question why a 10 year old decided to go to the pharmacy, but Mana was walking around town and decided to walk in. It wasn't filled with drones like the other places in town, and the person behind the counter looked an awful lot like her papa.]

Papa! [She cut her self off after saying that, she almost forgot that there was a big chance of him not even knowing who she was.]

[bearhersins]

[ That word snaps him out of devoting his attention to reading immediately, if not just because.. well, he realises that the only person this girl could be speaking to is him. And since he's fairly sure he doesn't really have any kids, he quickly tries to find some other explanation for this.

Because of that he gets a bit sheepish as he speaks up, even if he tries to smile. He's dealing with a little girl here, after all. ]

Sorry, I think you might have gotten the wrong person in mind.. Unless you were the third kid in that house, then I probably didn't notice you before I left.

[knowsabout]

[This was bound to happen, just like with Shiki. He didn't remember her because the events leading up to her birth and what not hadn't happened yet.]

I have the right person, mother is here as well though she doesn't really know me either. [At least Shiki talks to her even if she doesn't act like a mother yet.]

But I can live with that seeing as papa is here now. Ah, I haven't been born yet given the time mother is from, which I take it is when you're from. So I'll just have to introduce my self. [She pauses for a second and looks at Mikiya right in the eyes.] I'm Mana Ryougi, you and mother get together in a few years even if you can't really believe it.

[bearhersins]

[ There's a moment where he might consider it's some prank by Touko or anyone else, or maybe he's dreaming up all of this, but.. after that moment he has to accept that all of this is quite real. And he doesn't believe a young girl could just lie like that. (And when he thinks about it, she does look a bit like them in a way..)

... But still, knowledge of a child of his from the future can't help but make him frozen in surprise for a moment. Even when he speaks up again, the same look is still on his face. ]

Mana Ryougi-- You mean.. Shiki and my child from the future? [ Don't worry, he'll come to accept it. Just give him a few moments to get his brain to process all of this. ]
