[Uncanny is right. When Kiriko sees the new "resident's" video, he's a little surprised at how... familiar she seems. In a way, it was like looking in the mirror. But no face in the world is unique; he knows from a scientific perspective that all facial structures repeat between cultures. And so he does not immediately understand that it could be his baby sister that has found herself in Nesreca...]

Hey! Ah, ma'am, are you alright?!

What the hell are you--!

[He startles her when he latches on to her, as even with his odd behavior in the moments leading up, she certainty wasn't expecting it. She almost throws him across the room, but fights the instinct to do so in light of trying to figure out what was going on.]

What are you talking about?! I've never-

[Realization slowly dawns and it fills her like ice water because it's impossible, it can't possibly be!]

...met...you...?

[She does force him away now, if only to get a better look at his face. And it is him, but it's like looking at a worn and faded picture come to life. But it didn't make any sense, because this was her brother when she was seven, before he went off and never came back the same.]

How-?!

[He is a little surprised with her strength as she pulls him away, and for a moment he wonders if he might have made a mistake. But no, looking into her eyes again, he knows she's the same Yuri. His lip quivers a bit and he bites it to make it stop. Learning you were about to die where you're from is surprisingly difficult to deal with.

He takes a few steps back from her, a little shy and slightly embarrassed.]

Y-Yuri... It's me... It's Kiriko...

[He sighs and glances to the floor. He clears his throat, and when he raises his head again, his expression has tightened and become serious.]

Yuri... Libitina-, ah, the girl who controls this place- she can bring anyone here from any time... I know it's hard to believe, but...

[He stares at her desperately, his voice becoming more urgent, trying to convince her to understand.]

It's me... Don't you remember me...? [Maybe it's been a long time for her, but she wasn't THAT young when he left..]

I know it's you, it's just... You're not you!!

[...okay maybe that wasn't the best way to word that.]

I mean-!

[Forget how the hell she got here, how is she supposed to explain to her brother that he's going to end up as a mass murderer?!]

[And yet he's still here, still alive and whole and Christ she had just gotten to accepting the fact that she wasn't going to see him again. Now she could barely keep her own shaking in check along with the tears that hadn't fallen in years]

Y-you're not the same!

[The worst part is that she can't decide if that's a good or bad thing.]

["Not the same?" At that he exhales the breath he didn't know he had been holding. So he didn't die! That was a relief. Well, of course he would be different. She must be... Well, even older than he is now. So in her world, that would make him... pushing forty, wouldn't it?]

I... I know it's different. But still, I'm really happy to see you Yuri. I mean it.

I-

[Oh god if only you knew how different. Welp, it doesn't look like she's got the heart or composure to tell him at the moment. It can wait until later when she's not about to cry.]

...oh...fuck, I...

[It's her turn to tackle him with a hug, snaring him in a fierce hold that holds so many unsaid things.]

I... I missed you so much...!

[W-Woah, little sis, l-language...

Despite his surprise, he clings to her with an equal urgency, burying his face in his hair as he holds back sobs. He holds on to her tightly, as if she'd disappear were he to let go...]

Y-You too..! I missed you too..!

[He remembers her scent... What home used to smell like... he thought he'd forgotten. With it comes a flood of memories. Going swimming in the summer time, teaching Yuri how to read when she was small, ice cream on hot days, back when things were simple and uncomplicated.

And then he cries, despite his efforts not to.]

[When he breaks down she can't help but follow, crying like she hasn't in years and clinging to him like her life depends on it.]

D-damn it...!

[She also feels foolish for falling apart in to such a mess, but try as she might, she can't stop it or come up with words appropriate to the situation. Seeing him again is more than she could ever ask for, even if this ends up being no more than a convincing illusion or fleeting moment in time.]

[He cries along with her for some time, stroking her hair like he would when she was little to calm her down. But he feels like he needs her more than she needs him, and the act is more to remind himself she's here than a gesture of comfort. After awhile, he sighs heavily and pulls away, wiping his face. He gives her a weak, reassuring grin.]

Everything... will be okay, now...

[He stares at her quietly for a moment. What should he call her? She's obviously older than him and is no longer his "little" sister. Calling her "little sis" or "Yuri" seems... well, rude, given her life experience. Eventually he comes to a decision. He reaches out to wipe the tears from her face gently.]

Oneesan... Let's go to my room upstairs. You can stay there... and we can talk, okay?

[He wants to know the full story... and we promised her an explanation of where she was and what was going on.]
