[ That's Aubrey? She looks so happy. She looks like she has a group of friends who love her. And yet – there she is in her current form, someone slightly more familiar to him – but slightly faded, pointing her weapon at them...
...no. She's tearing the image apart.
No, that's not right. He can't say he knows what's happened here but it's clear that something awful took place. It doesn't mean that this doesn't bother him, though. ]
[Schneider watches, her gaze calm and steady as she takes it all in. It's a circle of friendship that is completely unfamiliar to her, a childhood innocence that Schneider knew of, but never got to experience herself. She has no comforting words, nor the knowledge of how to work through something like this.
If there was a problem she usually just shot it down]
Hm. Running away and destroying everything in your past to pretend it didn't happen. That's typical.
[If Yoon wants to play the good soul, well, this means Schneider is better equipped to inflict her own cruelty]
[ He will, indeed, play the good soul here, but that doesn't mean he's naive enough to think that Aubrey will go down without a fight. He looks at Schneider. ]
Here, take this!
[ He'll go ahead and give them both a defense buff with Marakukaja. ]
[ There's something not right, with how Aubrey is paper thin... He watches her hit Schneider, and when she pulls back, Yoon grabs his rolling pin and swings at her (14), not with intent to break her but he wants her to back off.
He hates violence, but if that's what he needs to use here, then he'll use it. ]
Apparently her flimsy form really is that - flimsy. Because Yoon's attack tears her right in two, her eyes wide in shock.
She opens her mouth to say something, but it takes a moment before anything comes out.
“...
I just... wanted to see us happy again. But...
It was never going to happen. It isn’t the same anymore. ...It’ll never go back to the way it was.”
Her form buzzes with static, before fading away into shadows. In her wake, a single item is left behind:
Beach ball: Fun in the sun for everyone! Throw at an ally to make them HAPPY.
The rips in the photo remain, however - looking closely, there seems to be a room beyond the tear. And, thanks to all of the fighting, it should now be big enough for everyone to slip through. But before they do, characters may note that the light seems to shine on a nearby picnic basket on the beach. Inside are yummy popsicles in various flavors that couldn’t have been there before - anyone who pauses takes a bite will find their health and SP restored to full.
[ He. He wasn't expecting that. And...wow. What she says seems to shake him. He doesn't pick up the beach ball, so Schneider can get to it if she wants to first.
Yoon turns to look at his ally. ]
That...that wasn't actually her, right?
[ See, this is why you don't pick up weapons haphazardly if you cannot kill. He knows this, and yet... ]

Stop it...

Make me.
[Think fast Yoon - though apparently he does, because when she takes a swing at him, she misses (5).]
The smiling kids you see in these photos... they don't exist. Not anymore.

Hm. This one is faster than the sandmen.

[She takes a swing at Schneider, but misses again (2). It does, however, catch on the photo - creating another tear.]
no subject
[ And it's clear she needs help. Well, that's how Yoon sees it, anyway. Still, he's not stopping Schneider, either. ]
These people aren't nothing to you! Clearly they mean something, if you're so adamant about throwing them away.
no subject
[ She shoots with Perfect Storm (19). Maybe she can knock the bat away? ]
Now stop being fucking stupid.
no subject
You're the ones being stupid. You don't even know any of them. You don't even know me.
[Aubrey(?) winds up another swing, and this time it connects - sorry, Schneider (17)]

Of course not. You share nothing and expect people to get everything. Isn't that just a coward's way?

You did good, for a boy with a rolling pin. But we've got enough fighters.
no subject
[ That, he can agree with. Speaking of, though, he'll cast Media and give Schneider a heal for that hit she took earlier. ]
There. That should help.
no subject
[ That does feel better. She tosses the beach ball at Yoon]
Here, take this.

What is this, exactly?

[Probably...Schneider doesn't do friendships the normal way though]
