Location: Yuka's room (Backdated to Sunday evening)
Warnings: Possible angst?

Yuka sat in her room, doing a little reading while she waited for Cirno to arrive.

Mostly she felt anticipation, but there was a bit of worry too. Even if this was the moment she was waiting for, she couldn't be sure where things would go from here, not after everything that had happened. But whatever came, she was still determined to do everything she could for the people she loved.

Though she really hoped it wouldn't be much longer...

"I don't know how long it's been staring me in the face. Those strange memories from the shadows, of a Gensokyo I'd never known?" And a lot more than that, but no way was Yuka bringing the rest of it up. "Meeting a Koishi coming off the train who acted like a completely different person? I even looked straight at two different Soras... But I was so used to thinking I knew what was happening, I never considered any other possibility even when it was thrown in my face."

Yuka took a deep breath, lifted her head up, and turned to look at Cirno. "I think we must be from different worlds. That would explain why we remember events so differently... and other things too."

Cirno's face falls at the thought of all this. All this time, thinking they had always been friends..and then finding out the technically didn't even know each other?

It hurt a lot but at the same time, made her think back. There was another she had known awhile back....

"So kinda like the Sakuya a while back..Who was a boy and not a girl....But doesn't that mean we don't know each other at all?"

At this, she takes a step back. So even if she went home...There was a chance she'd never see even people she thought she knew ever again.

Yuka blinked at the idea of Sakuya as a boy, but dismissed it as unimportant. She'd been holding back out of deference to Cirno's obvious distress, but now she leaned forward and gently embraced the smaller girl. "That's not true. Maybe we didn't know each other before, but after everything that's happened we certainly know each other now."

"And..." she hesitated. "...If I look at you, thinking that you're not my Cirno, then the only thing that comes to mind is that you must be like her younger sister. So it may seem weird... but to me, you're still family."

[frozenmemories]

It was taking her a moment to understand it all but the good thing was she didn't flinch or try to pull away. Cirno is quiet, nodding along to Yuka's words, pausing at the last part. Cirno blinks a bit and tilts her head at something that had her stumped...although it's a bit quiet. Someone else considered her family before she had vanished...

"Family? How so Yuka?"

She slowly moves to give Yuka a hug, a tight one as she was slightly afraid it meant Yuka was about to vanish on her.

"Can you tell me what your Gensokyo is like?"

[justaflowergirl]

"Ah... my Cirno and I have been married for quite a few years now." Yuka blushed a little. "There were times it made me feel really awkward... in that way it's a little relieving."

[frozenmemories]

"Married? What's that like? What is she like?"

Cirno is obviously excited. She wants to know anything she can learn...Even though later on she might think back on these things sadly. But right now, only excitement.

"Are the others different too?"
