(Resending because I think I used the wrong name the first time ;; sorry,,) :( Aww Satou,, did your partner die as well??

"me and him, we're not on bad terms or anything. we actually got along pretty swimmingly, heh. but i wouldn't say we were head over heels for each other, so, uh, it's nothing to worry about!"

"i guess, i just hope he's doing alright."

Ok so yuzu's mom is dead, but what happened? how did she die???

"murasaki would probably make you kingyo's new chew toy if you asked him, and asking yuzu might upset her... so try not to bring it up with them, i guess."

satou's smile fades, and she looks down at the file she'd been writing in earlier.

"as i told yuzu before, our species isn't very compatible with others. it's why our parents are very particular about who we marry - especially the women of our family. having children with someone of a certain species causes... health complications. something that even i can't cure."

"i'm amazed how long she was able to endure it all on her own. since azuki cut ties with us to elope, i wasn't able to help her. i may not have been able to prevent her death, but i might have at least been able to help with the pain she must've been in."

satou is quiet for a moment before she lets out a hollow chuckle.

"she really must have loved her husband to have gone through all that despite knowing the risks. i guess i was lucky my parents found me a suitable bachelor before the whole thing went to shit..."

"ah, but this isn't about me. sorry for being a downer. it's a bit of a heavy topic, after all. just, um... try to be considerate about bringing azuki up around murasaki or yuzu, alright?"

"and thank you for the ride, kingyo," yuzu reaches up as kingyo lowers its head to meet her so she can give the big goldie a pat on the snout.

"miss yuzu take care," the beast growls, "if you in trouble... call kingyo. miss yuzu smell... like master azuki... i find you."

"you can also just call me or satou if you need help with anything, though satou will be in contact with you more," murasaki adds. yuzu nods as she finishes giving kingyo scritches under its chin. murasaki turns to start climbing back up onto kingyo's back, but pauses for a moment.

"oh, and... if your sea urchin friend comes by, tell him i have something to return to him. i promised a free bath, too," he says a little begrudgingly. yuzu tilts her head, her smile turning a little conspiratorial.

"so you can be really nice sometimes, too," she muses quietly.

"huh?" murasaki nearly growls, his face crumpling as if he'd just eaten a lemon.

"nothing. bye, uncle murasaki!"

the sound of the door sliding open gets yuzu and satou's attention, and they turn to find murasaki wheeling in a cart laden with food.

"oh, good timing. did you make all this yourself, murasaki?" satou asks, seeming relieved to have a change in subject after dumping so much info onto yuzu.

"obviously not. i'm only in charge of some dishes, i'm not a miracle maker," murasaki deadpans as he starts passing around bowls and utensils. "you've told yuzu everything, then?"

"well, everything except what we're gonna tell her dad," satou sighs, and it's hard to miss the way murasaki's face immediately sours.

"um, i actually wanted to... keep this a secret from my dad. for now," yuzu says quickly. no need to bring up any sore subjects before lunch.

"let's leave it at that, then," murasaki grumbles even though satou looks like she has something else to say. instead, she shrugs and keeps quiet while murasaki finishes laying out the dishes on the table.

"sooo... have i told you what recent injury had me fly out to the countryside for the second time this month?" satou brings up, and this time murasaki's face sours for a different reason.

"can we not talk about him when i'm trying to eat?" he rolls his eyes, but that only seems to encourage satou.

"why not? i thought you'd like to hear about his failures."

yuzu watches on in amusement as the two zapfish begin to bicker. it feels nice having such a lively meal for a change. it would be nice if she could experience this more often.

"yuzu, right? it's nice to finally meet you," satou smiles kindly, taking one of yuzu's hands in her own. "don't worry sweetie, you're in good hands with me." yuzu nods, feeling some of the tension leave her shoulders at satou's gentle tone.

"did you know my mom very well?" she can't help but ask. satou's smile turns a bit remorseful, but no less kind.

"we weren't that close, no. as the family doctor i'm acquainted with most of our relatives, but i like to think that we were on friendly terms," she says. "at least, before we lost contact with her." yuzu frowns, but before they can get any further into the topic, satou is quick to change it.

"how are you feeling, by the way? murasaki mentioned that those blackened scales on your cheeks are really the only sign, but otherwise have you been experiencing any other difficulties?" she asks. yuzu shrinks slightly back into herself, suddenly feeling self-conscious.

"um... not really..." yuzu says slowly. "can you... explain what's happening to me?" satou hesitates then, as if trying to find the right words to explain to a young child.

"our species, the zapfish, we..." she starts, looking troubled. "well, frankly, our biology is only really compatible with a certain few other species."

"so... what this means for you is that as you start hitting puberty, the urchin part of your dna and the zapfish part are going to start fighting each other, and without treatment, it will most likely be very painful for you. maybe even fatal."

at yuzu's horrified look, satou quickly waves her hands to get her attention again.

"but don't worry! i believe i have a solution that will help you," she says, putting a hand on yuzu's shoulder to anchor her. "what we're going to try is something like hormone replacement therapy. it'll be like a more... intense kind of puberty, but i'll be with you the whole way, and so will murasaki, okay?"

yuzu nods feebly. it's a lot to take in. but at least she won't be alone this time.

Yuzu, I'm sorry to tell you this, but,, you're gonna have to T-Pose at your extended family to establish dominance.

"you can go inside now, kid."

"is this one of the symptoms you mentioned before?"

"no, i've seen other kids doing this. i think it's a meme. now if you'll excuse me, i have fried rice to scrape off the kitchen ceiling."

[glowflygraveyard]

the hot springs are busy today, it seems. dozens of staff members scurry around, all looking too busy to pay yuzu any mind. a special event, perhaps? yuzu waits patiently on the sidelines until a familiar face catches her eye. there's been a new resident who moved into the apartment recently, though the name escapes her. her father mentioned they work several jobs and should have no trouble with rent, but she didn't quite expect to find them here.

"can i help you, little miss landlady?" the sickly pale octoling asks politely. yuzu's eyes are drawn to his uniform. strange, she's never seen any of the other staff wearing a uniform. maybe it's a personal preference.

"um, i'm looking for mister murasaki. we have a meeting today," she has to raise her voice slightly in order to be heard over the busied chatter around them.

"ah, of course! this way, please," the octoling gestures and uses the luggage trolley to clear a path for the both of them. yuzu has to stick close behind him to avoid getting swept away, and from this distance she catches a whiff of cleaning detergent, or perhaps hand sanitizer. she didn't know there were inkfish who could actually stand those things. before she can think about it too much, however, the octoling slows to a stop, nearly causing yuzu to bump into them.

"here we are. the boss is just inside the kitchen," he says before pushing the door open for yuzu. with a polite bow, yuzu gives her thanks before slipping past him, only to be greeted with another room full of busy staff milling around like ants preparing for the winter. she has to look for a few moments until she can spot murasaki leaning over one of the counters.

again, yuzu waits on the side until their eyes meet. sliding the knife he was holding into a sheath hanging from his waist, murasaki weaves his way between jellyfish to reach yuzu.

"sorry about the mess," he apologizes with a glance over his shoulder at the rest of the kitchen. "we'll get to talk later. but in the meantime, are you hungry? you can join our special guest for lunch." then, as if reading the question marks popping up in yuzu's head, adds on, "ah. it's your aunt satou. she's a specialized doctor. apparently some other family members decided to tag along, but she's the only one you need to concern yourself with." yuzu nods, then eyes the knife on murasaki's waist.

"are you going to cook, uncle murasaki?" she asks, and she doesn't expect the annoyed sigh murasaki lets out.

"it's a pain, but yes. family members are important guests, and it's sort of a company policy for me to be as involved as possible when it comes to service. can't trust anyone else to get the job right," he says, pointedly glaring at a jellyfish chef who has just tossed the entirety of their frying pan onto the roof of the kitchen. yuzu can't help but hide a giggle behind her hand. "anyways, come with me," murasaki continues. "i'll take you to where satou will be eating. it'll be just you guys, so don't worry. i'll join you later." with that, yuzu feels her nerves returning, but this is the whole reason why she's here. her mother said she could trust murasaki and satou, and the fact that she came all this way must mean she's willing to help.

she just hopes satou is a nice person.

"actually... uncle murasaki came to visit me while dad's still in the hospital... he said he came to find me because i'm going to need help," yuzu's voice falters for the first time, a rare sign of vulnerability for her. she has to take a deep breathe to steady herself. "he said... i'm going to be really sick soon because of my mixed blood, or something. it could be really bad if i don't have a special doctor to help me. did you know this would happen, mama?"

the coin's movement is slow, uncertain. but it does settle on 'yes,' before moving again.

i hoped it wouldn't happen, it spells out, i'm sorry.

"it's okay, mama," yuzu says genuinely. "so then, is it okay if i trust uncle murasaki and go with him? i... don't want to tell papa. i don't want him to get even more sick..."

the coin moves back to 'yes,' then, your aunt satou is our family doctor. she will take care of you.

yuzu nods, feeling a weight lifting off her shoulders.

"thanks mama, i'll tell uncle murasaki. i'll see you to the gate, then," she smiles softly, touching the coin with her finger. the coin moves first, and she follows until it reaches the torii gates once more before it stops moving.

"uhm... thank you for staying with me," yuzu says after a moment. "you can stay for dinner, if you want. but, um... just don't tell my dad about this. like, any of it. he doesn't even know that i talk to mama like this, and i think it should stay that way, for now."

heck yeah!!!! lets meet your momma, Yuzu!!!

yuzu places the coin on the paper spirit board.

"mama? i'm here with my friend today, if that's okay. if you're here, let's meet at the gate," she says, and soon enough the coin starts to move on its own towards the red torii gate drawn on the center of the page.

"ah, that means she's here now. mama, i was wondering... um, you've mentioned having a brother before... what's his name?"

slowly, the coin moves over several letters, spelling something out.

m...u...r...a...s...a...k...i.

if there was any doubt that murasaki was telling the truth before, this pretty much proves his case. now that yuzu's mom is actually talking about him, yuzu feels a bit braver to ask her next question.

"then... is uncle murasaki a good person?"

the coin moves to the word 'yes' in the top left corner of the page.

"that's good... do you think, maybe... he would've liked to meet me?"

the coin remains still. another 'yes.' however, before yuzu can ask another question, the coin starts to move again. it takes a while, stopping over so many letters that yuzu has to quickly pull out a notebook and pencil from her bag to write it all down.

when we were younger, we talked about it, the coin spells out. that when we grew up and started our own families, we would introduce our children to each other.

i think he would've been happy to meet you, yuzu.

You should ABSOLUTELY tell your Momma!! Maybe she could give you some stories about your uncle for blackmail?? He could have been the sort of kid who had real crusty gills!

"i guess it wouldn't hurt to just ask mama about uncle murasaki first..." yuzu murmurs, already taking a coin out of her coin purse to place on the spirit board. "and if she doesn't get upset or anything, then i can ask her about the whole illness thing."

her hand pauses over the spirit board, looking rather pensive.

"i'm kinda nervous," she admits. "do you... want to stay? i've never talked to mama with anyone else around, but maybe it would be okay just this once."

you rush down the hall, worry steadily mounting at the fact that classes have probably long since started judging by how empty the hallways are. when you finally find your classroom, you take a moment to catch your breath before sliding the door open.

"are you here for class? you're late," the teacher's voice sounds as if it's coming through a walkie-talkie, and it's hard to tell if they're upset.

"just find an empty seat," the teacher continues, "i'll answer any questions you have later, don't worry."

"oh, and you can call me 'oro sensei.'"

ask oro sensei a question?
