She laughed and waved back, nodding. "Alright, seeya around, darlin'. I'll miss you!" She laughs a bit more, waving all the while.

Natsumi nodded, pleased with this. "Alright, sounds good then. I'm down if you are. I'll pick a decent place, don't worry. I don't wanna let you down." She gives a smirk, clearly more lighthearted in her tone and words.

"Oh, awesome. Alright then we should be set. Hmm..." She hums lightly, considering. "I'm pretty free this weekend, if you are?" She tilts her head, hopeful. She would like to spend time with the other sooner, but she has her own business to attend to unfortunately.

She relaxed some as the other seemed to gain more confidence and comfort, and smiled lightly. "You really want me to pick? I mean, I can. As long as you don't mind dressing up a bit. I wanna go somewhere nice with you." She really wants to spoil the other. Even though Sonia is a princess, so is

Friendzoned again 💔 /j But seriously, Natsumi is excited for the prospect as well, and beams as the other lights up at the idea. "Fantastic. It'll be my treat. The clan's been doing well recently, might as well show off a little, right?" She laughs, waving a hand. "Just tell me where you wanna

She's glad Sonia hadn't pulled away, relaxing slightly. She found comfort here as well. Despite all that's happened, it was nice. Safe. Comforting. She wasn't scared of Sonia. Not really. She knew why the other had behaved as she did. And she knew it was not going to happen again if she could help

"I'm fuckin' glad. I worry about you sometimes. I think about you a lot of times...You're...important to me, I think. So...If I can help, I'm glad." She smiles, softer now. Leans against the princess slightly. "I'm just glad you're doing better now. And I wanna put the past behind us, yeah? Move

She smiled, lightly. Relaxing a bit as the tension eased from her. Dhe was still concerned though..Did want to take it slower for the other's sake. "Ehe...Yeah, I can be a bit intense at times. But...We can work with it. I can definitely slow down for a pretty gal like yourself. You deserve the best

"Oh...Well I can slow down if that makes you more comfy? I know this is a little fast..." She pouts just a bit, but she does know she is moving fast. Especially given what happened between them previously. But Natsumi would like to move forward rather than back. Look to the future of them.

She frowned as the other seemed...Shocked? Surprised? Overwhelmed. What was wrong? Did she do something wrong? She let go of the princess to give her some space. "You alright?"

She let the other control the kiss at first, before deepening it, sinking into it. She wrapped her arms around the other's shoulders. This was...pleasant. Eventually they seperated, and she smiled at the princess.

"It is! It's weird. Who does that?" She rolls her eyes. "Like c'mon...At least get orange soda like a respectable person."

She scrunches up her whole face, sticking her tongue out at him. "Whatever, nerd. At least I don't order orange juice at food stalls."

She had it. Hook line and sinker. She'd kissed the other before, or at least...she thought she had? If not she was willing to do so now! And wanted to make it count. Make it last. She nodded, staying still for the other so Sonia could make her move. Closing her eyes.

Natsumi studies the other, thinking for a moment. She thinks of everything, of all the things the other might be thinking and feeling in this moment. "Well...How about you kiss me like you mean it, then?"

"Ew why would I share with a loser?" She laughs, then nods. "Yeah, sure. I'm good for it."

"Damn, you really love your orange juice. Alright. Well I'll probably get a pretzel and some gummies and soda."

"Yeah but...still. You worked to overcome it then. I think you can do it again. Technically you're still...stuck, I think. If you relapsed like that, it just means she still had a deeper hold than you thought. You just need a bit more support and shit. We can manage that. I can be there for you."

"Honestly so am I. I think..." She pauses, fidgeting a bit. "I think it's because I like you. More than the average person. So...congrats on that, I guess...But...yeah. I doubt so either. Welcome to the club I guess? Plus you've been through this before right?" She tilts her head.

"Snacks sounds good." She nods, making her way over to where he gestures, picking her way through the crowds. "What are you gonna get?"

"Yeah...even after what you did to me. You weren't you, though. And we all go a little crazy sometimes. You just went a lot crazy. I've been through worse, anyways. I grew up in the Yakuza, after all." She gives a smirk, a bit proud of her own achievements. "For me, though? Just...take care of

"Kind of a nerd," she teases, sticking her tongue out. She follows along after him, making small talk and conversation as they take the train and make their way to the show. She's glad to be spending time with him again. "Awesome. Do we sit down or stand?"

She laughs, a bit, more at the title than anything. She grins slightly, leaning into the other. She rubs the back of the other's hand with her thumb, sighing softly. "I'm glad. And you can call me Natsumi, if you want. Or Nat. Or whatever you want to. But I'm glad I know you. You're really sweet."

"Oh, really? So some cheesy superhero play and you want me to come see it with you? Man. Didn't know you were such a nerd. Alright. Let's go."

"Well...I guess we'll have to be the first. I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again, yeah?" She give a small smile, taking the other's hand in her own. "You're important to me. I want to make sure you know that."

"Ah...But there are ways to snap them out? Interesting. Either way....Preventative...How do we prevent it then?" She wants to help, wants her princess to be okay.

"I mean....I think you probably deserve more. Despair is a lack of hope, of light. I might as well provide some of that back, right?" She shrugs. "I mean...You could start by explainin' how I can help in the future if it happens again."

"Ah...Alright..." Natsumi looks a bit more hurt by the response, but takes it in stride. She understands the other was afflicted with despair of some kind. Relapsed somehow. She just wishes she knew what to do if it happens again, how she could help...She pouts a bit. "Anythin' I can do?"

She pouts, slightly frustrated the other doesn't remember. It seems she comes across this alot. People who hurt her and forget the whole ordeal. But she sighs. She likes Sonia. A lot. "I just would like an explaination, if you have one. What happened to you?"

She relaxed as the princess seemed...herself again, a small smile playing on her lips. "Yeah, yeah...I'm okay...I'm okay...I just...are you? You...you were different, I guess..."

"A play? Didn't take you for the type. But alright. I can go. What's the play about?" She is already up for following him though.

"What the hell *was* that, anyways?" She seems both angry and concerned, a mix of hurt on her face as she looks to the other. The bruises on her neck are fading, at least. Still there though. Still evident.

"Oh, me? Yeah actually. Where did you wanna go?"

Good plan, and much better than talking to Natsumi right now. She was on edge from the conversation, of memories she didn't want to remember or reminisce on.

"I'm a Yakuza, jackass. Do the math," she replies smoothly, rolling her eyes.

"Jesus christ...Well...when you get your memories back then we can talk, 'kay? I don't have the patience for amnesiac jane over here." She really doesn't. She really really wants to punch the other. But is holding back. Her brother already killed her on her behalf. The girl doesn't need more.

"Actually I do. But I just don't happen to have it out." She chuckles.

"Yeah, dumbass. It was all true. Then you became a global terrorist. How is none of this clicking? Are you that braindead?" She rolls her eyes. Shaking her head. "I'm too tired to deal with you right now."

She just stares at the other...Blanklu. "You left me to die and covered up the fucking murder, bitch. Thats the thing you were trying to talk to him about."

Natsumi would wake up much later, crushed windpipe and a raging migraine, bitter and angry and wanting for revenge. She was going to get payback for what occured. Even if it was the last thing she did. She wanted her girlfriend back! She wanted the girl she liked back. Not this charlatan of a Queen.

"And you think I'd just let you hug my frickin' brother, either?" She glared, even as the other pulled back. Though she paused as she saw the bloodied back of the other's head. "Hey...th'fuck happened to you, anyways?"

"Oh, yeah. That's fair. You should probably get your body moving at least a little. Even if its just to walk around the place. And heh, not much. Just working on some budgeting for the clan." She shrugs. Apparently even Yakuza do budgets.

She tried to choke out more words in response, trying to retaliate. Trying to prove that her brother still had some semblance of power, ability to get revenge. But she couldn't. She couldn't breathe, couldn't think. She just felt her world going dark, black, fuzzy. She fell unconscious, shortly
