... so there's been some delays in plans. And maybe a few personal changes.

[Event]

A.) You can find a relatively tall, white haired teen at clothing stores in Domino, wearing a slightly baggy North Academy jacket. She has a checklist and is going through some bags and marking things off.

B.) You can find this same girl on the island, staring off into the distance, well. Anywhere. She looks familiar...

... sorry. Got stuck in some empty void.

Apparently something a little more than just that happened.

Yeah, well. Ain't like it's important right now. More concerned about that lost time.

Just how long have you been gone?

... I dunno. Months? Feels closer to a year from looking at the dates.

... I feel like it's only been a week or two.

...

You've probably missed a lot of school.

I know! My grades... they were so good...

And then there's the matter of our work together and I bet I missed some stuff there too and uuuugh.

And to top it all off is all the cash I gotta drop on new clothes.

Don't worry. For better or worse, my own situation has not changed.

I'm sure with a week or two, we can get through the crunch time in order to get your work caught up so at minimum, you'll only be dropped down to Yellow.

Blue's definitely more my color, so I'm gonna double crunch!

... still, feel bad about not being able to do much for you. I got all these books I need to read too.

I'm glad you're so eager to do this work.

[Private]

I know you feel bad, but I've been dealing with my own situation for a long time. It isn't really going to change.

Work's all I got, y'know?

[Private]

Yeah, unless someone does something about it. And I plan to.

And I appreciate the thought, but...

You're not going to vanish again, are you? I can't help but half-feel this is because you keep trying to dip your toes into this...

I don't think you're wrong, but it's already done.

I don't think backing out now is gonna change much, y'know? Losing time and becoming a girl isn't real bad in the grand scheme of things according to my older half-bro, so...

Just making sure. My own situation...

Well, it's had a lot of people vanishing and losing time, and getting stuck and everything, so I can't help but feel like you're touching too much that shouldn't be touched, you know?

Yeah, I know. I'm touching alot of stuff that probably shouldn't be messed with, so I just gotta start being smarter about it.

But I think I've got a better plan this time around. I just gotta get a little bit of my own magic to help counter... whatever.

And how, exactly, are you going to get magic?

I'm working that part out right now.

Faustian bargain with some creepo who works for the supernatural police? Actual hard work and effort into the books I've got piled up?

I'd rather you not make any faustian bargains to fix this.

That's basically the root in a way, I think.

Fine, I'll just borrow books they're willing to lend me.

I'm not gonna do anything TOO stupid.

Well, good.

Don't focus too much on magic-learning, though. You have your schoolwork to deal with, too.

You'll still likely end up held back though, given the number of months missed.

Yeah, I figured that was gonna be inevitable.

But another year to figure this stuff out probably ain't gonna hurt. I know what I'm shooting for anyway.

Yeah, sorry. No matter how much crunchtime I make you do, there's a minimum attendance limit.

You've already lost half of the school year.

I understand. As long as I can be accommodated, I'm not going to complain.

Much.
