…I remember that day, yeah.

I’ll probably go now, rest up and all that…

But seriously. Thank you, Chesed.

Hi~ How are you doing lately?

[It’s Chesed, his mechanical voice friendly as he walked up to the red-clad agent.]

[ Oh, the poor darling... He isn't much better than from last time we’ve seen him! Infact? He might be just a littleee more worse! ]

Ah— Sir Chesed, I didn't see you there!

Or hear you.

A-anyways, um. It…

Itcoulddefinitelybemuchbetter.

[ …At least he’s grown from bottling it up so much? There’s that??? ]

[noise1nsilence]

…Atleast I didn't go completely insane over it, that’s good…

[ Boy you are on 1 SP. ]

[ …either way, Chesed’s comfort does help. He does smile, shakily, at the Sephirah. ]

Thank you though, Chesed. That’s comforting…

[noise1nsilence]

[ He’s shaking, ooh boy. That fucked him up bad, didn't it? ]

…I got sent to do Attachment Work, right?

With that new Abnormality, yeah…

…it went horribly, that’s all.

[ …That’s. That’s accurate, I guess. But he’s leaving alot of info out… ]

…Hha. Yeah, yeah I should go. You’re right.

[ He’s so fine, chat. He’ll live, trust. ]

…see you later, Daph.

[ Attachment Work, T-07-46 with Agent Karma. ]

…Huh. You look familiar. Strange.

Anyways, I heard you’re the newest Abnormality… has it been comfortable in here?

[The statue, as always, does not move. She, too, feels a strange familiarity with the Agent who just walked in, but she is unable to place it. She greets them the same as any Agent who comes to her.]

Who are you? Why are you here to see me?

[noise1nsilence]

[ He nods. His hands are shaking. ]

Yeah, I’ll— I’ll leave the bird to you, m’kay? Won’t even dream of being near it.

[ Like he ever wanted to. ]

…I still remember you, Daph.

Jattaw continues to stay a mood™️

[noise1nsilence]

I knew you, before you were… this…

[ He grips the clipboard tighter. Out of… horror? Fear? ]

[ …Out of realization. ]

…I never knew what happened to you after that... incident.

[ ...oh. Oh, he recognized that voice. ]

…A-ah.

I’m here to do… Attachment Work? For you.

…I know this might be stupid, but— is it really you, Daph…?

The trope where people don't recognize each other because it's been so long since they last interacted and they've both changed so much that they're basically strangers UNTIL one of them does their Signature Thing™ and the other just stops dead because oh. It's YOU. All at once it's so clearly you

[noise1nsilence]

…If you say so, Manager.

T-07-46, attachment. Good luck Agent.

I… No info?

Alright, then…

…

Why does she even work here?

Karma!! You’re back! Did you miss us?~

The facility got a totally new Abnormality while you were gone. It’s a pretty interesting one — you should check it out sometime.

-datura

Oh great, you’re still here.

A new Abnormality, though... I’ll check it out sometime. Chesed said to take it easy for a while.

[noise1nsilence]

…Yeah. Wondering that too.

But I’m staying firm on this one, Datura. I’m not going until I feel ready myself.

A fantasy story starting with the protagonist minding her own business gathering firewood, when a demon appears out of nowhere announcing that she belongs to him now. The protagonist demands to know on what grounds, she's never signed no damn contract. The demon is kind of baffled by this, and awkwardly explains that just now her father had promised his firstborn for something, and she is his firstborn.

The protagonist digs her heels in and says no, she never knew her biological father and by the way the demon explained the situation, evidently her father also doesn't know that he already has a daughter, so therefore the man who had made no contribution to her life after he bred and fled has no claim to her as something he could barter.

Not giving a shit about the fact she's gambling her life in doing so, the protagonist makes contact with the local woodland fae, asking them to negotiate on her side. The fae think that this is fucking hilarious and go with her. So, having lawyered up and with a reluctant demon in tow, the protagonist heads off on a quest to find her father and do whatever it takes to wrangle everyone involved into unmaking the contract.

Hey, it’s Chesed!~

Nice to have you back, man. Seriously. I know that was rough on you. Hope the counseling helped. We all missed you here on the team.

Take it easy for a bit, yeah? I’ll talk to the Manager. Gotta get reacquainted, y’know?

Yeah… I’ve gotten better now, Chesed. Thank you for being worried…

I’ll take it easy, promise. Missed you too.
