hanaban | Tama ☆ Emerald Goat

[ aaaaa don't use goat's powers for violence!! ]

No. Goat's 'The Responsible' one, remember? I'd say they're in line with their personality and that description pretty well. They're useful, but I can't say I think they'd be useful on a Thursday night.

You can...? I guess it makes sense other people's powers could be more physical.

I mean, "responsible" doesn't have anything to do with good or evil, dangerous or not. It just means you fulfil your role.

It's more the kind of responsibility I'd expect from a sibling, I think.

[ thinking about himself and his sibling ]

Do you have siblings, Tama?

[ hmmmmmmmmmm. ]

Technically... I guess I have a big sister.

The responsible sort of big sister?

[ ........

she's really thinking about it. ]

...Tama...

[ if it takes that long, the answer is "no" ]

[ it's fine. ]

Aiba's a great investigator. She can be a little whacky though-- annnd we don't see a lot of each other. I'm usually with Ryuki, and she's normally with Mizuki.

Heh... sounds kind of like me and my brother.

[ his brother's whacky in like a sadistic homicidal way, but that doesn't stop Hanako from looking just a little bit fond. also a little bit scared, and a little bit guilty. It's a sibling thing, Tama surely understands ]

[ aiba is just aiba. sweet, weird aiba. ]

It's not exactly like a normal sibling relationship, but... she came before I did, so technically that makes her both older than I am, and we have the same "father" so...

[ Hanako, blind to quotation marks: ]

Half sisters. That's close enough, I think. You're sisters!

Yeah. It's probably the easiest way to describe it.

[ ... ] You have a brother though, Hanako?

Mm. A younger twin brother.

[ It's still memshare week... Tama can see a comic panel poking out somewhere behind the seats, as a treat ]

[ two of them....!!!

oh but. ]

Amane? Tsukasa?

[ two of them!!!!

Hanako, though, freezes when he hears the first name, and pales as if he's seen a ghost at the second. ]

Wh- what?

[ a. ]

Oh, one of those comic panels. I didn't mean to pry, but -- they make themselves known.

[ He whips his head around, trying to see which incriminating comic panel it is, but the room is empty aside from the two of them. ]

Oh... [ aaaa ] It's- yeah.

[ yeah ]

[ it really appeared, slam dunked his name lore, and ran off. ]

That was you and your twin, wasn't it? [ WELL. WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE. ]

[ a mysterious third and fourth party... completely unrelated schoolboy ghost twins... ]

Ugh. ...yeah.

[ He's embarrassed!!! but also searching Tama's face for any clues as to what exactly was the memory she saw ]

Tsukasa's my younger brother. Amane... was my name before I- [ died ] ...became this.

He seemed happy to see you. Like-- that was a full on tackle hug.

[ hm. ]

You prefer going by Hanako, then?

[ happy tackle hug... does not narrow things down for him, actually ]

...it's nothing to do with that. I'm "Hanako-san" now, so...

[ The boy Amane Yugi is dead. He no longer exists, no longer matters. ]

[ alas, that is all she has to give. ]

Hanako.

[ hanako hanako. ]

I mean, that's who you are to me.

[ ... he huffs a laugh. this is the last time he's going to smile before execution ]

That's right. [ despite everything- ] I'm Hanako.

[ why do you do these things to me in bracket text

gives him a kiss on the top of his head. ]

We'll figure out some way to learn about team powers without getting ourselves kneecapped in the process. There's got to be a loophole somewhere.
