ba mươi lăm ❀| my beloved was weighed down

[lotuslife]

[Upon 'waking up' again and checking the date, Vietnam calmly goes about doing absolutely nothing to alert anyone of her return. How strange... But she can be found breaking her drone routine in a few different ways today.]

[A | At the Mayfield Hospital, where she's been working as a nurse for the past little while

[Chizuko's gone on her rounds to check on her. She's tired, but doesn't want to miss it if one of her friends wakes up. When she sees her, she drops her bookbag.]

Oneechan!

[lotuslife]

[she nearly drops the box at the sound of the voice, turning quickly.] Em Chiko... [she smiles, but she looks tired.]

[grand_theft_moe]

[They're both tired, but you wouldn't know that from the way Chizuko runs to hug her around her stomach.]

[lotuslife]

[She smiles, catching the girl against her and holding her gently.]

B. 1/2

[coolbowtie]

[A suddenly a small child, clearly a drone, comes dashing out from behind the house, laughing and nearly knocking her over. And the Doctor soon follows, giving chase, also laughing slightly.

Then he sees who's standing in front of the house]

[coolbowtie]

[And he comes to a dead stop. So suddenly that he nearly trips himself doing so. When he steadies himself, he stares at her, unsure of what to expect, not daring to hope just yet]

[lotuslife]

[She gives a yelp when the child nearly crashes into her, and upon spotting him, returns the staring and silence.

Eventually she holds out the box.]

I made you a cake.

[coolbowtie]

...Well, that's nice.

I like sweets.

[He gives a weak laugh and smile, slightly surprised his knees haven't given out from relief]

[decadenzas]

[looks up on his way to town and sees part of a bed sticking out the window... what is even going on here, is he witnessing the world's slowest attempted murder of a bed-ridden hospital patient.

oh well whatever just gonna cup his hands around his mouth and shout up to the window]

You had better hurry, the police might take notice at this rate!

[lotuslife]

[At this distance, she can't discern the owner of the voice, so Charles will witness the bed pausing, as if in thought, before wiggling again with renewed vigor.]

[decadenzas]

[and he's just going to stay and cheer on the mysterious murderer because he really has nothing better to be doing with his time right now and he'd rather be here than going to school.]

Put your back into it!

[lotuslife]

[oh...

now she yells back.]

What if I have a bad back?

We missed you so much and everyone was sad and even Charles was sad even if he didn't show it and stuff and I was sad and Hong Kong and Japan and Korea were sad 'cause we thought you were in the generator but then the generator got destroyed but you were still a drone but teacher didn't get sad because he was a drone too and-

[lotuslife]

[she pets Taiwan's hair gently, trying to listen to everything she's saying even if she's talking so fast.] A-ah, wait, please let me explain...

[taegeuk]

Noona...? Are you back to being Noona?

[lotuslife]

[turning to look at him, her face crumples a bit, far too emotional, before smoothing out again.] Em Korea... It's me.

[taegeuk]

Noona!

A-aiyaaa- [AHHHH catching... as best as she can...]
