So, um.

I had another memory.

Okay, I should be honest. I had an echo last week when that Annie girl talked about the "Precure".

It wasn't about anything specific event, but... more a memory of something they were up against? Err, someone, I don't know how to put it exactly.

They were called the "Desert Apostles".

Sorry I didn't say anything... I've been having trouble figuring out how to process this...

[Jasmine's words first come out as a choked sob]

I w-will, I just...

... It's all so scary, okay?! Everything about her feels like something out of the Twilight Zone!

Even if we're different, I'm still gonna remember that! It's all gonna be in my head, Lily!

[So she remembered ... floating in a tube, and her relevant memories of the Precure were of their opponents. Yeah, for someone like Jasmine, she can understand just why that would be getting to her... more than that, why she'd be afraid of what was to come, as well.

Lily did not even want to entertain the notion of how that related to her own resurfacing memories. So, she didn't.]

Then... we'll just deal with that when it comes, Jasmine. I'll help you deal with it. You know that, right?

I'm not going to leave you to face all of this yourself.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

... I know that... b-but...

...

What if I'm the one who's not strong enough?

[alilyinthemoonslight]

[You are now getting the stern Mom voice, because doing otherwise would be showing her own emotions at the moment.]

You're going to be.

Because I'm not going to let you be otherwise.

Please understand that, Jasmine.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

... You promise?

You really really promise?

...

God, I feel like I'm five years old...

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Do you even have to that of me, honestly, Jasmine?

Because I remember when you were five years old. So how could I do anything else?

[jasminebloominginshadow]

... Thank you, Lily.

[sound of sniffling]

I don't... deserve a sister like you...

[alilyinthemoonslight]

And you know that's not true, either. You deserve even more than that.

Now, just... calm down and come home, okay?

[jasminebloominginshadow]

I will...

... Um.

I lost the food...

[alilyinthemoonslight]

...

You lost it?

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Yeah, I... may have dropped it when I ran out of the store...

[alilyinthemoonslight]

[A bit of a pause, and Lily lets out a breath.]

I'll... see if I can call the store. Just come home, okay?

[jasminebloominginshadow]

I will... I'll be home soon, okay?
