- 88 [Action]

[fortunefail]

[With all these newcomers about, Yuan simply isn't comfortable staying at home. Against all better judgment, he ventures out into the village to have a look. Catch him anywhere, any time!

Later, he'll return to house #8 to find it ravaged, after Kratos had a little 'argument' with Lord Kvar. Wonderfully foreboding. What other surprises may lie in wait here?]

[invertedprince]

[As you're walking around the village Yuan, there is a girl crouched down by a tree, sobbing into her hands. Won't you recognize your own Luceti daughter?]

[fortunefail]

[Oh, he will recognize her. The moment he does, he strides over to her and kneels down beside her, watching her with a look of mild concern.]

Are you all right?

[invertedprince]

[She shakes her head and inhales shakily]

'm so lonely...

[fortunefail]

[While the village is being overrun with strangers? Really? It's strange, but Yuan will attempt to calm her anyway.]

... You aren't alone.

[invertedprince]

But I am...

[She looks up now, bright yellow eyes still filled with tears] Don't you understand, Father? [Grin]

[fortunefail]

[He recoils a bit when he sees those eyes, but doesn't get to his feet just yet. ... "Father"?]

What happened?

[invertedprince]

[Shadow grabs Yuan's sleeve to keep him grounded and leans close, the grin fading back to a frown as more tears spill down her cheeks]

Everyone left me... even you.

[fortunefail]

[All right, now he is concernced.]

What are you talking about? I never left you.

[invertedprince]

Yes you did! You and mother both... [And now a hiccup. With each passing second she's acting more and more like a kid]

[fortunefail]

["Mother"... Which mother? The one from the experiment, or her real mother?]

I told you, I never left. ... Just take a deep breath and try to calm yourself.
