[Hello again, Luceti. Rosa has woken up... in the town proper this time. on the outskirts. Hopefully no one steps on her, that would suck. Once she's sat up, realizing where she is... she sighs. She remembers all too well of this place.

So. Journal in hand? Check. Time to broadcast.]

My return here is not any more comfortable than the last times I was here, and it seems as if the Malnosso have made up their mind now. [Sigh. Rosa goes quiet, stops the broadcast, and is now on the move to retrieve her things.]

[You bet she will. Ceodore's sprinting across the village to get to her ASAP.]

Mother!

[He missed her. More than he'll own up to.]

[it is Ceoderp to the rescue! :D here, Rosa will even open her arms up to get a hug from him. you know, a REAL hug.]

[Ok ok, she can have her one hug. Oh who are we kidding? She's getting a huge hug, and then picked up and spun around once, even. He's grown a few inches since she last saw him and filled out more too.]

You remember me.

[This is important. Father has come and gone two more times and both times involved being forgotten or having Luceti forgotten.]

[:O well! She'll be laughing at that, and hugging him tight.]

Of course.

When Father came back, he didn't know me. Not that first time.

I'm sorry they did this to you.

No, it is fine. But I'm sorry to hear he did not remember you.

I... kinda got used to it.

[Shrugging that off for now because he doesn't want to seem like a girl.]

Do you need help collecting your things? I can carry them home for you.

I did not have much, I should be all right. I would like the company. How have you been?

Well enough. Drafts, experiments...

[A really strange experiment where they all thought they'd lived their all their lives and Dad ended up married to someone else. :|]

Selphie and I got our own place too.

It sounds like you and your girlfriend are doing well. Hopefully there wasn't any... horrible experiments.

[If there's one thing Ceodore is genuinely lousy at, it's lying. Or even fibbing, or lying by omission. He freezes mid-step and stares at his Mother. He really doesn't want to bring up much of what happened, including that alternate life (and having siblings), being switched into his girlfriend's body, Kain and Rydia dying in the draft. Finding himself unable to say otherwise, he looks down, hoping that maybe they can just go back to being happy she's there.]

[Yeah, she kinda thought so. Ceodore gets another hug.] We will be free of this at some point. We'll continue on as we always have, please remember that.

I know.

[Speaking of getting out of here...]

When we do, I... I want to take her with me. If we can.

[If not, he is so going with the girl. She means that much to him.]

Then we will do what we can to bring her. We'll find a way. Hopefully this time my stay will be longer so I may come to know her.

I hope so. She's amazing. I want you to like her. And...

[Hrm... how to explain this.]

I think... well, she's an orphan and... we're sort of her family now.

I'm sure I will, Ceodore. I don't see why I wouldn't.

[She's going to pause as she listens to this, and she's going to frown a little.]

Then, she is a part of my family as well.

[Such a relief! A broad smile forms and Rosa even gets an impromptu hug. A very little one.]

Thank you.

I've never met anyone like her.

[And he's obviously besotted.]

[Yay, my son loves me. :D]

I'm sure I will love her too, Ceodore.
