ᯓ⭐ WEEK THREE MINGLE

Happy third week, lovebirds! Here's to hoping you're riding high on the wave of success of one whole pair being correct! Surely you must have an idea by now how to win this thing!

Probably?

The good news is that you're not going to have to find yourselves in any weird clothes this time around, except maybe that just leads to a strange sense of foreboding for a future scenario...? Who knows. You can't quite brace yourself for it this time.

But don't worry, it's not like there's nothing happening. On the contrary!

For the entirety of this week, you'll find yourself feeling... clingy. It's going to start feeling very strange if you're not leaning on someone, holding their hand, cuddling with them, sitting in their lap, stealing a kiss, or engaging in some other form of affectionate physical contact. And if it's someone you're already feeling fond of OR someone you actually can't stand, guess what?

That feeling is doubled!

You may realize this is an unusual feeling, but so what? Trying to ignore it is only going to make it feel stronger and do you really want to make yourselves feel miserable?

Shut up, masochists.

She was the getaway driver for an infamous gang of thieves that day. She said she "owed them a favor" and that it "wasn't a big deal."

[ There are no physical air quotes around both those phrases, but they are audible in the emphasis that Lin gives them. ]

[helmswoman]

[ Yes, Yukong can still hear the quotation marks loud and clear. ]

Naturally, this wasn't an excuse you could simply accept. Were you Chief of Police at the time?

[ziplash]

No. Our mother was.

[ She sighs, expression growing bitter. ]

And she tore up my arrest report — buried it all.

[helmswoman]

She did? Do you know why?

[ziplash]

She said she "couldn't have a daughter in jail."

[ EYE ROLL ]

My sister was sent away to live with our grandparents, then our mom retired a year later — because she felt guilty, I assume. Then I became chief.

[helmswoman]

But you and your sister still have a relationship, it seems.

[ Yukong tilts her head, curious. She recalls Lin slipping and mentioning her concern for her sister before. ]

[ziplash]

I didn't talk to her for thirty years, after that.

[ She admits this more quietly than she's spoken since this conversation, something like regret and frustration weighing down on her brow. ]

We... made up, recently. Sort of. Right before all this, actually.

[helmswoman]

[ Thirty years? That is a long time, particularly for a short-life species. Yukong perhaps shouldn't be surprised that Lin would be so stubborn, but...

She is glad to hear that they eventually reconnected. ]

I'm glad to hear that. I know there are some things that you can never forgive a person for, but... I'm relieved to know that this wasn't one of them, and that you found your way back to each other. Was there something that triggered it?
