If you require my presence, I'll get back to you.
roundandaround: Surprised gasp. (but that means...)

[Rinku startles. She runs where the other presence is pulling her. Even if it means disappearing into the darkness -- she glows, after all, and she's certainly doing it right now.

She runs until she can stop to catch her breath.]


Who was that guy? Is he supposed to be here, or is he from somewhere else?

[Given recent events, "are you plural or are you possessed" seems like a pressing question... as invasive as it is.]
roundandaround: Confident and hungry. (this'll be great)

[Rinku's eyes go wide. She nods at being identified, giggles at Yuuri's complaints, and shakes her head.]

Thank you! I don't really know a lot about what's going on, but... I dunno if I'm trapped here. I'm just trapped as in not where I'm supposed to be. But you're here normally... Sorry about what that other guy said about you.

(No worries! Things set in mindspace like the "heart game" trope in DWRP regularly include NPCs who are essentially the character's cognitive vision of their castmates, so that should work.)
roundandaround: Chin in hands, listening. (huuuuuh)

[Rinku nods when Yuuri recognizes the man from earlier, and makes a worried noise when he explains a little. She nods again, just slightly.]

Yeah. That guy said stuff like that he didn't want Wolfram-san to have human friends, and he knew what happened at the concert. I kind of... There's a guy. Like him -- someone possessing someone I know, who used both of us. He used the power of the soundwave we created to mess with the audience, tried to kill his host, and basically kinda ripped me out of my body and threw me into the back of everyone's minds. I think that's how it works.

He also said he wasn't a person? Which I don't get, everyone's a person. And he kinda... outed you and blamed you hiding for some stuff, which was mean. I mean, don't lots of people hide? Especially in Earth-ish places. I know no one cares here what gender you like, no one's been mean about me loving all kinds of people, but they're also not mean about how many people you like, and back on Earth I think people would freak out about both those things.

...And yeah, I'm a human. Even if I don't look like one anymore. I mean, if you do a magic scan I still come up as human unless I'm trying not to.

[Rinku giggles at first at the flustered reactions, but the laughing fades as he explains, and she makes worried noises again. As he moves into the rest of his response, she shakes her head.]

Those kinds of people hide a lot, you're right. Human friends are great, just like anyone! And I'm glad things are getting better for him. Even if that guy -- is he his dad or something? Or the ghost of his ancestor or something? -- thinks it's a bad idea. So that's the "something from your world," huh...

[Her tail swishes from side to side, and she thinks.]

And... I don't get some of it, but I think I get other things a lot. Like... not knowing who you are, and how sometimes when you do figure it out, other people get upset or convince themselves you're just confused or you're something else that makes more sense to them. And what you said about loving someone else the way they need. Sometimes even if you do love them, it's still not...

[Rinku's head lowers, and her tail droops.]

There's someone who confessed to me, and I had to turn her down twice. Because she didn't understand the way I am. At first it was "okay, you're a free spirit," and then it was "you can't really love me if you love everyone," and then it was "I'm trying to be okay with it so you can date me, I just have to make myself the kind of person who wants the person they love to be with other people too." But that doesn't make any sense! I don't want someone else to force themselves to be different! And I definitely don't wanna force myself to change either now that I finally understand my own feelings!

So if you mean that for real, I think I can understand you. Just as much as if that scary guy were right and you're just afraid. Either way, isn't who you are your business? After all, you're you.
