Ohhhh, them. [They came up, but it's possible he forgot what they were called. Her world seems so different...]
There are no angels here, though, Hiyori-san. You're safe.
[She's only a small turtle right now but she seems so sad. Hopefully she won't mind if he cups his hand and rests it over her back. It's just a warm, light touch. He's still sure it was a nightmare.]
[Oh no. He's never been particularly immune to Hiyori-san's sweeter moments, but this is more than he can handle. He curls his hand around her when she hides against him.]
But you're not there, Hiyori-san, you're here. It was just a bad dream, you're still in Holly Heights.
[Izumida's not sure what she means by having been there, but he suspects it's another one of the landlord's little cruelties. Not so little in this case, though.]
What makes you say that, Hiyori-san? I thought you had friends there.
[He gasps a little at that. Who says something like that to a little girl!?]
Well, Shigure's not here and you are. Maybe in the meantime you and Yukihina-san can come up with some other alternative, but even if you can't I don't believe that's going to happen.
Maybe you can find a way to remember, like... maybe at night, write something on the back of your hand to remind you. Then if you get taken away in the night again, you'll have it there and you can remember.
[He doesn't expect her to have any answers, but he also very much doesn't want her to die or to be so frightened that she's going to. Hiyori-san is too young to be so scared.]
[She seems like she's calming down a little but, well. That may not last, because he can't help but be honest with her.]
I haven't been back home yet so I'm not sure, but if you were gone from here then you must still have the same body there, so anything you do here will probably go with you. So I think it's a good idea.
[He hadn't thought about that but... hmm. He still doesn't want to lie.]
Well, you change clothes here and you're still in the same body, right? It's probably something like that. These are your Holly Heights pajamas so they had to stay here, but if the writing is on your skin then it can't stay behind.
You could just do it every night, since this happened when you were sleeping. Maybe write something different, like the date, so you know what day you left here.
Good. [Izumida touches her shell again lightly, but she seems much calmer.]
And I know I don't have any special powers and I've certainly never killed anyone, but if there's anything I can do to help, Hiyori-san, I will.
[Possibly against all good sense, Izumida's developed a bit of a soft spot for Hiyori-san, especially when she's Lost. It's not his fault. She's a tiny turtle with little ribbons.]

[ Yukihina isn't a bad person to her, okay. ]
no subject
[Because she's talked about bad people before but never mentioned angels...]

[ They must have mentioned that, right? That's people who nullify Power users powers. ]

[ She knows she shouldn't cry about it, she's happy that the others get to live, but she doesn't want to die. ]

[Liiiiight petting of the turtle's shell. It'd be like patting her back if she was human, that should be all right.]

We're both in this world now, though, and that's more what I meant.
