...nice day, isn't it?

[It's not, really. Yuca is staring absently out the window, somehow deep in thought.]

Spring is coming soon. I want to plant more flowers with Rain- show him how. He'd like that, I think.

[He takes a deep breath, seemingly- not there. To those who don't know him extremely well, he just looks sleepy, or like he's just thinking about the flowers he's going to plant. But Yuca is rattled, uneasy, unsure. And what could possibly leave one as old as the world itself this shaken?]

Oh. Happy new year, I suppose.

[As an afterthought. Yuca glances toward the screen for a moment, before reaching over toward the PCD, and-]

Something is wrong. I might need your help- but you'd probably get a good study out of it too. Maybe? [He bites his lip.] I don't know-

[He swallows hard and forces a look of indifference on his face and it's good- he's had years and years and years to practice.]

...why you, then, instead of Him? I don't recall ever asking for your help.

[But of course, he'd take it if it gave him what he wanted.]

Here's to it being a good one.

[He smiles at her.]

I don't remember very well, but I think last year, there was a grand ball that lasted for almost a week about this time. I think I still have my dress clothes from it.

This time I guess it's the bunny ears. They're cute!

Aren't they? I've taken mine off, but I think Rain is still playing with his. It seems more suitable for Easter though, doesn't it?

Easter? What's that?

...it's a holiday that takes place in April.

[You don't know what Easter is, Usagi? D8]

It's said to celebrate the resurrection of our deity, after His murder at the hands of humanity- the very same deity who's birth we celebrate on Christmas. At any rate, it's been rather twisted over the years, and is now celebrated by the belief in a large rabbit hiding easter eggs- plastic eggs, filled with candy- everywhere.

[She's very secular, sadly, despite being a Christ figure herself and owning the holy grail.]

I never really knew about Christmas being a birthday until I came here, either.

Some worlds don't have that sort of belief at all.

[He smiles, reassuringly at her.]

It's alright.

[He'd be glad to know she's still protected churches and priests in her world.]

You could do something for Easter, so everyone can celebrate with you.

Like what I did for Christmas? That might be nice.

[He shrugs.]

If I'm still around by then.

Mm. I guess we don't really know if we will be.

Its alright though. Take each day as it comes, all that.

Still... I want to go home, but I can't just leave everyone here, either. I wouldn't want to be safe if they were still trapped.

Well, they'd eventually go home, right? I mean, or else they wouldn't be there when you were there.

I couldn't do that. I couldn't leave them behind.

How would you be leaving them behind? They'd be there. Usagi, we exist right now in a reality outside time- whatever struggles they have here, they never existed in your world.

That's too selfish! They'd be alone here.

And what makes you think you wouldn't just come right back?

Because... it was a long time before I was able to see Ami-chan again!

Ami- your friend, right?

[He tilts his head.]

You still don't know. And when you go back, you won't even feel guilty- because you don't remember. You see?

That doesn't make it right at all! It's worse! I don't want to be happy if they're not happy, here!

I merely suggest that worrying about it doesn't do you any good, miss Usagi.

That isn't right! It's not right at all!

Settle down, please. I didn't mean to upset you.

[He gives her a concerned look.]

[There's nothing more conducive to not settling down than being told to.]

How can you say things like that?!

That I didn't mean to upset you? Because, miss, I didn't.

[He tilts his head.]
