Red Sea Yonaka post, open. (General warnings for Mogeko Castle-type stuff.)

[chasescenes]

[She'd fought against the red sea.

Why had she fought? It was painful - oh, agonizingly painful, all the empty parts in her body and her mind filled with the sea - but if she'd known how much better it would make her, why would she have resisted?

Because she is better, now. She's stronger - she doesn't need anyone to protect her, doesn't need to run and hide anymore. She's strong enough to be the one her victims run from, if she chooses.

She was so afraid, before, afraid of more than Mogekos - but now she's in control of herself. She doesn't need to fear anything, she can do anything to anyone without memories of a long-departed castle making her wilt.

It's alright now. Even though it was painful, and even though she screamed that she didn't want it, it was fine in the end. She's grateful.

She had been broken. And now the sea has fixed her.

It doesn't matter to her where in the castle she is. She wanders aimlessly, for now. Maybe she'll see people she knew before. Maybe she'll teach them how much better everything could be...]

Aaah, you don't have to repay me, Yonaka. You're a good friend. Helping you was enough. I AM sorry that it scared you so much, though...

[ She genuinely is. It was always the hardest part, no matter how many she had to change. ]

[chasescenes]

Don't worry about it. It was worth it in the end, wasn't it? So it's justified.

[Fear is a thing of the past for her now, anyway.]

[risorgimento]

It was like that for me, too! I want to help everyone like this...

[ So very much... so, so very much.

Everyone.

If one thing could be said, at least, she's more gentle than Sal ever was to her. Nothing like the things he'd done to her body--no, she just quietly, slowly hurt them and forced the corruption in through blood... ]

[chasescenes]

Do you think I could help you?

[She wants her friends to be as happy as she is.]

[risorgimento]

Of course, Yonaka...! There's lots of people who still need our help, right?

[ This is probably the worst idea in the world, but she sees nothing wrong with it, nothing at all. ]

[chasescenes]

Right. So just tell me what I can do, and I'll be on it.

[Nothing wrong with this at all.]

[risorgimento]

Hmm... who do you think needs our help the MOST?

[ Very important, after all. They should get to those who are the saddest and most pained, right? ]

[chasescenes]

...I think it's Froze. After what Moge-ko did to her, she's been hurt emotionally as much as physically.

[risorgimento]

The Red Sea can knit her right back together without any problems physically! That sounds like a wonderful suggestion, Yonaka. Do you know where she's staying?

[ This excites her... yes, yes, this is what she was meant to do... ]

[chasescenes]

Second floor, with Yosafire. I can show you the room.

[She's glad to be able to do something for Akoumi, who did so much for her.]

[risorgimento]

Wonderful. Please do! Then you can help me help her, too. I'm sure she's been feeling unsafe...

[ She's aware of what happened, after all. So that is a good place to start. ]

[chasescenes]

Mm... Do we have to help everyone though? There's people I'd rather just kill.

[Moge-ko springs to mind.]

[risorgimento]

Oh, no. Some people... do not deserve that. They don't belong here! ♪

[ It's said rather cheerfully. Sal, too, had taught her this. ]

[chasescenes]

That's good. I'm looking forward to teaching some people a lesson.

[risorgimento]

[ She giggles, doing a little twirl where she is, in place. ]

Ooohh, it will be quite rewarding! And, tell me, Yonaka--what about your brother~? He can't hurt you now, right?

[chasescenes]

He can't do a thing. But I want to make sure he joins us, too. I'd be lonely without him.

[She might not be happy, without her most important, most precious person.]

[risorgimento]

That's your special task, Yo~na~ka. I'm sure you're up to it!

[ Everyone should be converted, the Sea thinks, within her. So, of course, she sees no problems with this. ]

[chasescenes]

Count on it. He'll go in after me, I'm sure.

[Because that was what a good brother would do, right?]

[risorgimento]

Heehee... when you're done, we should have tea or something, nice and relaxing...

[ Of course she doesn't find a problem with this. In fact, she'll even quickly give Yonaka a little peck on the cheek--she's so proud! ]

If you need my help, though, I'll be nearby, okay?

[chasescenes]

Won't need it. [She's confident in herself, now.] But thanks. I could definitely go for tea.

[risorgimento]

Well~! It never hurts to know, just in case. We're friends!

[ And she will always, always help her friends, should they need it. ]

Would you like some new clothing, later? I want to make you something special...

[chasescenes]

Would you? I'd really like that - you have such good taste.

[Eyes everywhere is definitely in this season.]
