COOKING SHOW - 5PM PST - Heart Soldier Senshi
[ Your unit-colored kitchen has all the basic necessities for cooking, but strangely, there's no refrigerator. There's just a table full of pebble-sized crystals. . . There are candies available in bins next to the crystals as well.
Though you can technically turn the stove on, you can't actually hurt yourself on it. It's like the flames are illusions. Huh.
Upon entering your unit-colored kitchen, you'll find that you can't see or hear anyone from any other kitchen. You're aware that this whole area is magically sight- and sound-proofed; no other unit will hear or see any conversation you have. ]

[ Takes some crystals, and offers the other's a chance to take the candies. This shouldn't be a sour memory.
His first day at the dorms, hell it might not be anything new to them as they maybe even witnessed him and Lumine meeting up again since they were there!
Unlike before, though, it becomes clear that despite Aether's rather casual attitude, there is immense guilt and shame over having forgotten his sister, especially with how wound up she had been and his failure to calm her down. It was like him being there again was bad, butwith his memory situation made it all the worse and he's not convinced she's happy to see him. The guilt is almost nerve wracking, especially with how it ends on not a very happy note, Lumine needing to excuse herself rather than be accepting of his proposal and running off to be alone for a bit.
He definitely handled that situation with her terribly. Aether's expression is visibly dim by the end of it before resting his head face down on the table on his crossed arms.]
Blegh. [ it was embarrassing people were there to see it, now it's even worse that they're to know what was going on behind his front.
He's definitely the worst sibling ever, god. ]

[Coming over, careful, to set a hand on his shoulder. The concern is rolling off of him in waves]
That ain't your fault, dude.
Re: Sour (optional ingredient)
[ he rubs his face in slight apprehension, but the concern he feels coming from the other is definitely comforting. ] Even if so, I couldn't make her feel better at all... Shouldn't I be able to do that as her brother ?
Re: Sour (optional ingredient)
We don't get much say when they jerk us around like that.
...hard to make someone feel better after something like that, brother or no.

[He hesitates]
You tried to text her?
Re: Sour (optional ingredient)
Caeli keeps me updated... somewhat, I guess. Not sure he is very good at telling full truths, that one. But, she's at least still here and nothing's happened to her. ... Physically, anyway.
Re: Sour (optional ingredient)
Just, like... something short, maybe. Like, "Hey, I know we got off to a rough start, but I don't wanna call it quits that easy, cause I know we were close. So if you wanna talk or whatever, I'd be down."
Leave the ball in her court.
Re: Sour (optional ingredient)
[ A pause, before he flops his head into his arms again, shaking slightly. ] Is it enough? I don't want to be a bad sibling.
[ the stress is real but his paranoia is a little out there. ] Do other siblings have these issues...? Do you know any?
[ he looks up suddenly, grabbing at a small keychain on his belt that is a double charm of a chibi him and a chibi of his sister that separate. When they are magnetized together, it lights up, and Aether looks at it a bit bummed. ] It'd be great if it was as easy as this.
Re: Sour (optional ingredient)
[He hesitates - gives Aether's shoulder a squeeze and presses reassurance out his way, along with soft concern]
Sorry it's rough right now, dude. But... you'll get it all back. Promise.

Re: Sour (optional ingredient)
[She's talking round it. All the better to ignore the central core of profound discomfort, and the strange sense of loss she'd felt when he vanished.]
I remember him now, or a bit of him. It's not much to work with, though, when I must have known him all my life.
