Empatheias ♛ Overflow
Let us commence in the vanquishing of the dreaded Captcha!
Of course. I should let you get back to your business.
[And she has things she needs to get back to doing, too, most likely. But before that, there's one last thing she needs to correct, and that is--]
And please, just "Leia" is fine.

Of course. I shouldn't be keeping you away from your buisness.
[Sonia begins to wave at her, seeing her off before she's caught off guard by the next thing she says.
But she can't deny that it made her happy to be calling a friend by a casual name.]
Oh! Leia it is, then. It was such a pleasure speaking with you.

That doesn't surprise me in the slighest. It's quite rare for people to know my country right off the bat.
[While it was sad at times that her country wasn't as recognized, it made her all the more merrier to educate people about Novoselic and it's customs.]
You've studied abroad too? What countries have you been to if you don't mind me asking?
[Another fellow foreign exchange student! If there was one thing on Sonia's bucket list of things to do, it was to exchange stories with other foreign students.]

Y-you're too kind, Nevermind-san! [Gosh, he'll never get used to all these compliments.] But I promise that all the safety guidelines will be followed to minimize any injury I might sustain! I'll walk around in full body armor if I must!
[Anything to prevent her from feeling sad! ...Not to mention, Ishimaru doesn't want to be terribly hurt either! If he becomes injured, that's more time resting-- which means less time for him to explore and help out!]
Ah! He's my soul brother, rather than blood-related, but a detail such as that matters little when it comes to our manly bond! A bond forged through the heat of a sauna... nothing can come between us!
Bro's far more admirable than me! He's a truly kind person, once you look past his manner of clothing! [And Ishimaru fully intends to help his bro out with that! One small step at a time...!] He is also really strong and a great leader, which is why he's the ultimate bicycle gang leader!
[As Ishimaru continues to talk about Mondo, the air around them becomes warmer, but pleasantly so. He almost seems to be sparkling.]
I hope you get to meet him one day!

Most certainly! And the other thing I'm grateful is being stuck with a friend.
[Even if she couldn't remember anything about their friendship from when she was here before, it still made her feel relieved that she was at least stuck with someone familiar.
What made it even better was that he was beyond nice, she could understand why she became friends with him.]

[thread here!]
[Despite that she doesn't remember him, for some reason her heart felt warm and fuzzy when speaking to him. Just from a glance, she could tell that he was truly a kind hearted person.]
Thank you so much. I must admit, even though this is the first time I can recall meeting you... I somehow feel relieved. You're very kind.
[She returns his warm smile with a bright one of her own.]
So, I was here once before... ah! I have learned a little bit about this world but I am still trying to learn about ... [She pauses, wanting to make sure she was pronouncing it right.] Empatheias. That's really quite amazing how this world is able to bring people from other different universes. [Her smile continues to grow wider and she happily nods her head.] You have done a wonderful job at explaining things! It's cleared up a lot of unanswered questions that were in my mind. So you know Komaeda-san and Hinata-san--
[Naegi's reaction causes her to stop mid sentence and she looks somewhat confused. Sonia attempts to move as well, only to find that they were stuck.]
T-This is most certainly strange! I ... I can't seem to move either.
[Her eyes grow wide as she stares at Naegi as if they were caught up in a spotlight.]
W-What is going on?

Ahh—I studied in America for a while! Traveled to some other countries too, but that was for some other business.
[He waves a hand vaguely.]
That was also some years ago, though!

I trust you to keep yourself safe! Just make sure you are able to see out of that suit of armor, it would be dreadful if you got hurt trying to walk around in that.
[She's giggling at not only how happy she was feeling, but at the mental image of poor Ishimaru walking around in a full suit of armor. Do your best Ishimaru!!]
He's your soul brother? [Such a concept was foreign to her, but that was easily one of the coolest bonds she's ever heard of.] That is very much true! There are some blood brothers who aren't close, but from the way you talk about him, it sounds like you two share a bond that's even closer than being related by blood and I think it's simply wonderful! It's as if your souls are hotter than the sauna itself.
You are very admirable! I couldn't think of a more wonderful bond between two cool and admirable men. [At the mention of his talent, Sonia looks beyond amazed.] Wow, what an amazing talent! I'm sure it takes a lot of guts and bravery to be the leader of a bicycle gang.
[The more she hears about Mondo, Sonia felt even more eager to meet the guy. Ulitmate bicycle gang leader? Hell yes, she wanted to meet him.]
I would love to! Let us hope that maybe one day, he'll make a grand entrance here in Verens.

[Doubtful.]
Not realty sure what it is I can do.
Which is also a strange thing to someone I "just met".

[It feels much more comforting than he expected, and it like a flame burns in his heart. She seems to be taking to his ways quite well, he thinks as she makes her addition to the vow.]
Well said.
[He grins and then opens his eyes. His cheeks are still quite red, and seeing Sonia's face again only causes an odd fluttering feeling within, so he quickly looks away.]
With that, the contract is complete! Nature has bowed before our combined power, just as expected. As for your heart...
[A warm heart. Just like this. What could it mean?]
Y-yes, that must be a temporary sign of hell's power at work!

I hope that we'll have more chances to talk in the future.
[Out of habit, she moves her hand to push a lose strand of hair behind her hears but it's then she realizes that she could move her arms.]
Oh! I don't feel as stuck as before. I think whatever is causing us to feel stuck is finally wearing off.

The fashion here is really cool...! It's a bit of a, um...steampunk style, I think it's called? [ Though as fascinating as she finds it to be, she also finds them a little embarrassing to wear. ] Though, Hinata-san recently started a business that has more modern fashions like we're used to. We could go there, too!
[ Not that she hasn't already been there before, but it's an entirely different experience when you're shopping with a friend. Komaru's eyes light up at the very thought of it. Picking outfits for each other, trying on clothes together...she's practically sparkling just envisioning it. ]
I can't wait to do everything with you either, Nevermind-san! I'm totally excited now! And it's even better because this'll be our first bonding activity together...!

America huh? That is so neat!
[She's giggling and looking at him with starry eyes. Even though they had just met, she was finding herself to be so fascinated by him..]
You sound like quite the world traveler. If possible, I'd love to hear about what other countries you visited one day.

[She quickly shakes her head.]
Not at all! I don't think it's strange. It's hard to figure out what exactly it is you want to do.
Besides... [A smile curves on her lips.] Even if this was the first time I recall meeting you, I was still friends with you before in a previous time.

That was one of the most marvelous things I've ever experienced. I can't thank you enough for performing this sacred ritual with me.
[The blush on her face is still visible and now that she can move, she places her hand against her chest, feeling the sensation of her heart beating rapidly.]
I'm also very grateful that you managed to stop this wind and free the two of us. [But she immediately stops, and glances at the hamsters, grinning from ear to ear.] Along with the Dark Devas! Although it's like you said, they weren't ever bound by this wind from the beginning.
I see! That certainly makes a lot of sense. I do rather like this feeling in my heart and I hope... [She quickly shakes her head at that, that wasn't the right word.] no, I'm sure that I'll get to experience this fleeting feeling once again when we are casting spells together.

Sure, sure! Most the other places I only visited for a short while too, but I still got to pick up some stuff here and there.
[He glances ahead as they walk and-- aha. There's the Enforcers HQ. He begins steering the mysteriously reluctant thief towards it.]
Here's the Enforcers' offices, by the way. If somethin' real big comes up and you need to get the local law enforcement involved, this is the place to go... Although if you ask me, you might have an easier time if you happen to know a real tough Otherworlder.

Oh! So, it's steampunk? I've seen outfits like those in magazines but I couldn't quite pinpoint the name. I think you would look lovely in those types of outfits! [She thought they were very cool just from looking at them, she wasn't used to wearing something like that but there's always a first for everything.] Hinata-san has a business?! Yes, we should definitely go there and see it! It would be really fun to try on all the different modern outfits.
[The cold wind from earlier was disappearing due extreme amount of happiness she was feeling. Komaru was kind and she felt like she was in the presence of the sun. Suddenly, Sonia eagerly holds onto Komaru's hands and is practically jumping up in down due to pure joy at the thought of all of their future hangouts. ]
Me too! I can't wait. Komaru-san, has anyone told you that you are a ray of sunshine? Because, I feel so happy being around you! I'm very much looking forward to our first bonding experience.

You are quite welcome. It is good to work with someone who honors such a ritual so truly... I am thankful for your cooperation.
[He nervously withdraws his hand while continuing to look away, and nervously he starts to back away. Even beyond welcoming the flames of hell, that she-cat's proximity had such an odd effect on him!]
P-perhaps we shall! Our combination must give us a greater affinity to pure hellfire! I am sure that it will be useful in critical moments.

I do recall the first... first meeting. I ended up pulling roses out of your hair.
... Because they started to grow again. In your hair.
[Change of topic? Yes.]
... Because they started to grow again. In your hair.

Wonderful! Then if it's not a bother, I'd love to chat with you again sometime soon.
[There's a light shine reflecting on her form, she was filled with happiness.]
Yes! In fact... [Slowly, she could feel herself stepping away.] Aha! I can somewhat move again.

It's always fun when you pick up certain things from other countries. I can't wait to learn about them.
[Once they stop at the building, Sonia looks at the HQ in complete and total awe. When she's finally snapped out of it, she immediately helps Hizumi lug the thief into the HQ.]
Oh my! I had so much fun chatting that I nearly forgot about our original objective. I see... this place does look impressive. I'll remember that in case I run into trouble. [There's a slight pause before she turns to Hizumi with a smile.] Is that so? Then... would it be all right if I asked you? I think you are quite tough, yourself!

[Realizing that she forgot that they were holding hands, the blush on her face deepens and she quickly folds her hands in front of her lap. Talk about embarrassing...]
I'll be looking forward to the chance when we can combine our powers. I've got your back, Tanaka-san! The contract we have formed is a solid one and I promise I won't let you down.
[Despite her inital embarrassment, she continues to look pleased and happy as ever. Even though he was the dark lord, she felt nothing but pure joy being around him.]
I also cannot wait for the day you teach me Dunamis! It will be a day I'll hold dear to me.
