[Rinku tilts her head and blinks. But as Yuuri talks to (yells at) the Wolfram she can't see or hear, she worries and moves closer.]
It's okay. The way out's gotta show up soon. And hm... It sounds like he can't wake up because of magic, right? Because it's dangerous? Then that means if everything gets fixed, then you guys won't have to worry about anything.
( regardless if "someone{s}" else was Involved or Not... )
... It's almost definitely because of something really dangerous. I don't know what exactly but...
Edited ({that is too because Wolf emphasized Healing with her most initially, &its also decently strong but to seal Wolfs FIRE MAGIC...}) 2026-01-03 17:01 (UTC)
But if this is his head, then he is here. So I'm sure you can do it if it let's me out. And I'll keep you in mind and do everything I can for you guys!
But... it kinda sounds like you have something I can do too. I'll do my best! What is it?
At the time I first heard that... I viewed myself as still just a human too.
I had lived my entire life as a human, and grew up with such modern-day Earth views... I completely, fully, one-hundred-percent believed I was HUMAN...
So basically... what happened oncewas....
I screwed up. Royally. In the worst way possible.
I dragged Wolf into everything accidentally too... He might've not have had any part in this at all otherwise....
... I was a foreigner from a strange, modern world and a country he had never heard of...
... I waltzed into his homeland like I owned the place and made a lot of really false assumptions about how he and his kindlived because I kept comparing them to the society I came from...
... Of course Wolf was going to be angry with someone like me. But I didn't know at the time.
Eh? But I don't wanna hit anyone! And being hit isn't good either! But getting hit kicks you out of his brain? And also something about marriage? But...
[But the other things he brought up...]
Don't worry. I'm gonna do everything I can to not let you guys get more in trouble. And don't feel so bad about yourself. You're important.
I don't get a lot of things. Like getting tangled up with you guys even though this is just a dream. But I like you a lot, so I'm sure it'll all work out! Everyone's out there waiting, and they need help.
Thank you for taking care of Wolfram-san. I think he kinda needs it. And I promise I'll remember everything you told me! Just in case! Now... I'm sorry, I don't wanna hurt you, but...
[Rinku takes a deep breath and swings her hand down.]

1/? Wait for It
{ ... he can't hear Wolf. But it's almost like Wolf's trying to say... }
[ " She shouldn't have to try to fix everything on her own. " ]
... ... .. .
There might be....
2/?
-- I think it'll probably still only work for you ( and NOT.... ""Yuuri"" ) But...
3/?
... Like you said, it might be 'that'... some kind of magic that's temporarily sealing Wolf's own and keeping him from...
( " Waking Up " )
4/?
... And, yeah. If it was that...
( regardless if "someone{s}" else was Involved or Not... )
... It's almost definitely because of something really dangerous. I don't know what exactly but...
5/?
T-The last time something like this happened Wolf told me...
That there might be "a chance"... If I replicated the custom of his world and...
... -- But that time, we were both there!! And this time...
... It's only me in here....
{ Distressed Look!!! }
6/6
... A-And, well... it's kind of a really specific custom....
( Yuuri's hands suddenly come together to twist about in anxiety just a bit-- )
... Because it's a marriage proposal custom ....
-- ... So if you don't want to try that at all, I don't blame you--!!

1/? /o\ /o\ \o\ \o/ /o/
{ She's... right. Wolf HAD been "responding" to them both... but Wolf was still in a deep sleep state too and... }
[ It didn't look like Wolf was going to teleport in here anytime soon... ]
... Well, see... he might be able to "feel" us but... It kind of involves... physical movement.
( ... )
What I said before... about slapping?
It's that.
2/?
That kind of stuff doesn't happen there the same way. They can go their entire lives without being something like slapped even once...
... So when they are...
... It's considered a very old classical form of proposing marriage but it's still taken just as seriously even in the time after I arrived there.
3/?
" If a noble strikes the other on the left cheek with the palm of their hand, it's a request for marriage. "
... I know you're a human but...
4/?
I had lived my entire life as a human, and grew up with such modern-day Earth views...
I completely, fully, one-hundred-percent believed I was HUMAN...
So basically... what happened once was....
I screwed up. Royally. In the worst way possible.
I dragged Wolf into everything accidentally too... He might've not have had any part in this at all otherwise....
... Because I was an idiot and I slapped him.
5/?
... I was a foreigner from a strange, modern world and a country he had never heard of...
... I waltzed into his homeland like I owned the place and made a lot of really false assumptions about how he and his kind lived because I kept comparing them to the society I came from...
... Of course Wolf was going to be angry with someone like me. But I didn't know at the time.
I didn't know about that custom...
6/?
... And I said I'd never take it back.
He said something really bad about my mother... because he was making assumptions about humans too...
... so when I did that, it was out of anger.
It's not supposed to be in anger but...
7/?
" ... And if the one who was struck shows their right cheek, then they've accepted the request. "
Wolf 'accepted my request' back then but... it all only happened because of that...
8/?
... I almost destroyed Wolf's reputation permanently because I waited so long to move something like a "wedding" forward.
Even now, the intentions behind that "marriage of convenience" weren't... real...
... Because the real "SHIBUYA YUURI" is a coward.
( Pained smile ) With a really ugly side (
or many) that he doesn't show to anyone, not even Wolf.So if Shinou was saying things about me back there... some of it... was probably based in truth...
-- ... even if I can't be one hundred percent sure what he said. ... So not all of it but...
9/?
I think ... that's really the only way... out of here.
... To slap my left cheek so hard it shocks Wolf awake.
... I'm not sure how the "rules" apply here but... Just in case...
... You should know what you might be getting yourself into...
... If the real "Shibuya Yuuri" can show up here.
10/10
Because I'm "just a dream".

Don't worry. I'm gonna do everything I can to not let you guys get more in trouble. And don't feel so bad about yourself. You're important.
[She takes a deep breath and raises her hand.]
Are you sure?
1/? {Hold on-}
... Are you sure? I mean...
Even if we're not in Shin Makoku this could end up tying you to us. Maybe not just us but still us...
-- That is, not, ""me""! But, the "real Shibuya Yuuri" that Wolf loves....
... I don't know if this world would consider it as... binding but...
... I think it'd somewhat respect the views of other worlds if they didn't interfere with... "Ellipsa"'s.
... At least, I know Shin Makoku would do its best to respect Ellipsa's views too...
Even if they definitely didn't agree with everything that happens in Ellipsa.
( because Yuuri already knows they WOULDN'T... )
2/?
... But it's more like it'll kick Wolf back into gear rather than kicking us out.
If Wolf's awake--
... You won't be stuck in this dream anymore. You'll be free to wander anywhere else...
... But you probably can't come back here.
( " Ever again " )
3/? Wait for It
But if that's what you want...
-- Then go for it!! It's OKAY!!!
( and Yuuri spreads his arms wide at his sides, excited beaming in
only slightly nervousanticipation-- )Give me the old good 「ONE」-TWO!! The best 「"RIGHT HOOK"」 you've GOT --
-- just in the form of a slap--!!
Like you're hitting the best 「HOME RUN」of your entire LIFE!!
Oh, but make sure it's on the left cheek!! -- And...
... Since you probably won't get to come back here...
4/? {In case it can ever become possible during future plots/events again hahaa....}
If YOU'RE ever in trouble again and Wolf's around somewhere near...
... As soon as possible before it can get TOO bad...
... Just shout out something like,
{ "If Shibuya is ADVANTAGEOUS [ "Yuuri" ], Harajuku is Disadvantegous" }
And I'll know it's you, even if I can't fully see you!!
--- But ""I"" might become a bit explosive if that's really something going on. In the GOOD Way for us!!
But, um... maybe very very BAD for any "enemies".
( LOP...SIDED... GRIN..... )
5/5
... I don't completely feel bad about myself. Not anymore.
It's just...
{ " I know WOLF would only want the REAL THING. " }
( and Yuuri shakes his head-- )
-- You have to get back to your friend too, right??
-- ... I want Wolf to be able to get back to "the real Yuuri" too.
... Even if he's stuck in Ellipsa for a while first.
