[For Yuletide, Rinku sends a seashell as well as a... breakfast sandwich maker?]

[Rinku's been here before, at least a little. So when she comes into this area, she looks around, wary of the horrors in Yogi's memory but searching for someone. One of two someones, whichever is "home."]

Yogi-kun?

[The silver side of Yogi has been too busy being filled with uncontrollable anger to be inside the headspace. It was a problem, but the golden Yogi had no idea about it. He just felt anxious. Sad. Occasionally he could feel jolts of anger, but he wasn't sure what to think of it.

To him, he was just sleeping a while longer. It happened, sometimes. It must have been an allergy reaction again. He had been pretty 'off' since he was so worried about Rinku so he probably forgot to change his patch again. Akari-sensei would be so disappointed...

Since it was golden time, the dream space was more lively, with fields of flowers and happy stuffed animals.

The familiar voice makes Yogi turn around, the surprise clear in his expression.]

Rinku-chan!

[He's not surprised he's dreaming about her considering everything. He's also aware this is a dream, but he rushes to hug her anyway.]

Rinku-chan!

[Rinku smiles. She hugs him back, soft and relieved. But if he's here, then Silver must be out... and that might mean things got worse. Her face falls.]

Are you okay? I know a little about what's going on out there...

Uhm... I only know that your soul got taken away. After visiting you at the hospital I fell asleep.

[He looks a little embarrassed, wiping away at the tears forming in his eyes.]

I think I forgot to change my allergy patch, so I have a reaction that makes me sleep for a while. So I don't really know what's going on and how long I've actually been sleeping.

[So Silver's been in charge for more than a few hours... She makes a concerned noise and clings a little. He must be going through a lot. Did Melodymania target him too? ~~No, Rinku, he's just worried about you.~~]

Sorry. I should've, I dunno, figured out something was up and gotten help.

You couldn't have known something like that would happen!

[Yogi insists, hugging her a little more.] It was... scary. First everyone was having so much fun and then suddenly you just stopped moving.

[He holds back a sigh, gulping instead.]

I wish... I wasn't so useless. I wish I could wake up and go help you.

[Rinku sniffles and holds him warmly.]

I don't think you're useless. I don't know how to help either. That's what I've been searching for this whole time. But I promise I'll make up for this and come back to you guys. Neechan and Mary-chan don't seem like they're doing well.

So you... aren't just a dream, then? You can actually hop around people's minds?

[Well, if her soul was taken, maybe that made sense.]

I wish I could at least go with you.

[Rinku sighs and shakes her head.]

Yeah, I wish I weren't alone too... But I'm glad you're where you're supposed to be. Stay safe, okay? I'll make it up to you and I'll get out, I know it.

[Yogi nods, wiping his eyes a bit.]

Yeah. I promise, I'll stay safe. And I'll give you so many hugs once we meet again.

[Squeeze.]

Me too! I gotta keep looking for a way to get back out of here and help everyone. It sounds like you're all doing kinda bad...

I'm sure your kids will especially be worried... and your nee-chan too. You have a lot of friends and people who care about you.

[He pets her hair quickly.]

Stay safe.

[Rinku instinctively headbutts into the petting and chirps.]

I'm gonna do my best. But if danger means getting out to get back to them all, I'm gonna do it. Don't worry. I'll get out. Okay?

[Happy birthday, have a seashell and a new winter hat enchanted for warmth! No present for Silver, she's holding onto his to avoid awkward questions.]

[Yogi loves both of them. The seashell is going on his shelf with the others and the hat will definitely be used.]
