You blink, pulling yourself up off the couch and away from Endivan and Fasha as you feel One's ki signature flickering back into her body. It feels...
You huff.
Two, do you feel that?
Yeah, I do, Three. Can you get away from our siblings and check on her? I'm elbow-deep in note-taking with Miss Fren.
You wrinkle your nose.
Lucky. Yeah, I'll throw something together. Three out.
You look down at your little siblings. "Hey, wanna play hide-and-seek?"
Fasha pops up, grinning. "Yeah!" She turns and starts to immediately run away before checking herself. "But, uh, no sensing!" Another few steps, then pause. "Or flying, that's no fair!" Once more. "And don't do that vippy thing you do!" She makes it out the door. A moment later, her head pokes back in. "Come on, E!"
Your littlest brother, still panting on the couch, hops up and sprints after Fasha.
You watch them go and wait until they're a good distance away. Mato looks up at you with a wry expression. "You're gonna do that stuff anyway."
You snort. "I mean, yeah, but not while looking for them. I just needed a minute to go check on something."
He nods. "Okay. Makes sense." He goes back to his notes. "Bye, Kakara. Love you."
"Love you too, doofus," you say, putting your fingers to your forehead.

You reappear next to One. She's flat on her back, staring up at the sky with blank eyes and a massive, blissed-out grin.
...you stare at her for a second.
...Two, did we find out what drugs do at some point, and I just forgot?
...um. No? School has a unit in a couple of months on it?
Yeah, thought so.
...wwhhhyyyyyy?
I'm trying to figure out if One had some at some point. She looks like that drunk guy we saw that one time did.
...what did Grandpa do?
I have no idea. I'm gonna wake her up.
You step forward and poke her. "One. Hey, One. Wake up. I'm not re-merging you when you're like this, I don't want it to spread. Come on, One."
She giggles quietly.
"Oooooookaaaaaaaay. Grandpa, what did you
do?" You put your hands on your hips, staring down at her. "...hm. What would get me up...?"
You snap your fingers as inspiration strikes. "Of course."
Hey, One, Lady Dandeer found you and says she can cast a spell that'll get you waking up-
"IMAWAKEGETAWAYGETAWAY!"
One snaps out of it in a second and flashes to her feet, arms swinging wildly. After a moment of hyperventilation, she blinks. "...wha?"
You snicker. "Y- your- your
face-!" You double over laughing. In the distance, you can hear Two giggling as well.
One flushes red. "Oh, very funny!"
You gradually reign yourself back in. "So, um...what exactly happened?"
"Grandpa knows the Spirit Bomb," she replies, brushing off her
gi. "He gave me some advice. I need to think about it. We'll talk later."
And off she walks.
"All Is One," added to potential Elite Ki Sense talents. Hefty bonus to Spirit Bomb research gained. Slight progress made towards Elite Ki Sense.
