The look that crossed Parker's face made it seem like she'd swallowed venom. Yumi stared back, uncowed, until the pink-haired woman stalked away to Nomi's side.[break][break]

From a distance, Yumi watched as the Head Scientist watered the tree. The Pokémon statues sprang to life, suggesting that they hadn't been statues at all, but that living Pokémon had been petrified into stone.[break][break]

The thought caused a shudder to ripple through Yumi. She was glad neither of the other two women were paying her attention.[break][break]

Around them, the scene melted away as the simulation conjured up a new scenario.

Nomi dodged the tree branch just in time, heart hammering. All around her, the Pokémon statues came to life, stone crumbling into living flesh. Parker walked up and Nomi whirled around to excitedly address her -[break][break]
Except, oh. Parker's expression was even darker than it had been at the start of their journey into the RKS Machine. In fact, Parker had that distinct glint in her eye Nomi recognized as the desire to punch things, hard. Until her knuckles were bloody. Her posture was aggressive, and she did not make any attempt to greet Nomi, let alone throw a sarcastic quip her way. Nothing except fuming.[break][break]
My fault, Nomi thought, stomach churning, panic rising. She's mad at me, this is because of me, I'm ruining everything, I'm -[break][break]
Before she could attempt to stammer out an apology, however, the landscape warped and shifted once more, the three women finding themselves atop a cliffside. The air was humid, the terrain tropical. Nomi recognized their surroundings - not because she had been there in-person before, but because she'd, of course, seen it in a textbook. They were in Alola.[break][break]
A Xatu stood nearby, looking up at a massive sun. When it turned its head to stare right at Nomi, an onslaught of images flooded Nomi's mind.[break][break]
"Here," Nomi took Parker's hand in her much smaller one, slipped a hammered iron band onto her ring finger. It was still warm. "I made this for you." She blushed - because even after six years, Nomi still blushed a great deal around Parker.[break][break]
The ring glowed softly, just barely. Faintly. Could have been mistaken for an after-effect of the forging.[break][break]
"I finally did it. I infused metal with infinity energy," Nomi's tone was triumphant. "The ring should absorb a little bit of health from the foes you punch, heal you back in return. Like some Grass Pokémon can do."
[break]
The memories - were they memories!? - began to fade, but Nomi tried desperately to grasp onto their vividness. This had not really happened, had it? When would she have -- they have -- [break][break]
Something else occurred to her as she stared down at Parker's hand. The thought deepened her blush.[break][break]
"You may also consider yourself propo - "
[break]
Head pounding, a searing pain like she was being stretched somehow, Nomi collapsed.[break][break][break][break]

a shiver goes down the back of her neck. she walks, leaves, like the simulation wants her to, and yet it still doesn't end. she wants to be alone. she doesn't want to look like she knows she fucking looks in front of yumi. or nomi, for that matter. but that's the thing about anger. 

it's a parasite and hatefully trying to shove it off only makes it burrow deeper. 

she stutters to a stop, suddenly at the edge of a cliff. nomi and yumi are to her right. parker's eyes close, jaw tightening, as she swallows the rest of her patience. 

the wind picks up and everything around them melts, like watercolor. and unlike nomi, parker isn't given a snapshot. she claws through it, too angry to bring joy to the forefront of her mind. instead, she's half her height, fingers clasped in another's, staring at broken glass and busted bodies.

her sister's tearing out her hair and she's wailing and there is blood on the both of them and she's thinking, this is it. this is it. the world closing down around her, boxing them, and she's fourteen, avery's life in the palm of her hand.

she won't lose her too. 

then she's snapping back into her body, disoriented. acting on instinct, she dives when nomi's body pitches. her hands sink into her waist a bit harder than necessary, more than likely leaving bruises, but she readjusts as she gets her bearings and sweeps her up, too bewildered to stay angry. 

"yumi? you good?" gods, she could carry both of them out of here, but it wouldn't be very fun.

The vision that hit Yumi was no vision at all, but a memory, one that played in her head over and over again in the darkest of hours.[break][break]

She stood in the office of her grandfather, in the beautiful manor she once called home. She stood straight-backed and dry-eyed as the man she thought loved her, instead scolded her and denounced her.[break][break]

Who told her, in so many words, she'd amount to nothing without her family's wealth and power.[break][break]

"We'll see about that," were the words Yumi wished she'd said.[break][break]

The vision ended abruptly, snapping her back to reality. She swayed, disoriented, but steadied herself atop the edge of that false cliff. A cool breeze blew against her cheeks, grounding her.[break][break]

Parker's swiftness to collect the fallen scientist did not escape Yumi's notice. Dark eyes regarded the pair with some curiosity, but no jealousy. No, Parker's action reminded Yumi of a dog protecting its master.[break][break]

"I'm fine. Is she okay?" she asked, tilting her head toward Nomi.[break][break]

Nomi's eyes fluttered open.[break][break]
At first, she thought the simulation had changed again. She was...floating? No, there was something warm and solid pressed against her - wrapped around her - and she knew, instinctively, that it was Parker holding her before she looked up and saw the woman's concerned face.[break][break]
"I'm sorry," Nomi apologized, blushing, her voice a hoarse, panicked whisper. "I should have asked you if it was okay to invite Yumi along. I should have just asked you about her from the start, I..." She trailed off, feeling utterly disoriented. Visions from the strange dream were still fading from her mind.[break][break]
Nomi's eyes flicked to Parker's hand, as if expecting to see the ring there. It was the same ring from the field notes she'd brought back from the Ancient Tomb. She wears it on a necklace, remember? Right. Real memories began to replace the ones that she didn't understand - that were probably just her subconscious playing tricks on her - and she took a deep breath.[break][break]
"We should leave the machine," she decided, much to her chagrin. "I don't feel...right. Is Yumi okay?"

parker is as gentle as she can be, but she's high-strung. that's a nightmare she hasn't had to relive for some time and it's left her shaken, a little out of her own body. she doesn't realize how hard she's gripping nomi until the scientist comes to in her arms. 

"wha-yeah, she's okay. i think." parker swallows past a lump in her throat and looks away from yumi. at least she won't have to carry her. there's a chance the venomous woman would have bitten her when she hauled them out of there. 

nomi starts spilling out apologies and all at once, parker's anger evaporates. she helps her stand, but keeps an arm lingering around her waist. the woman looks more pale than usual. 

"yeah, yumi's fine. we're all in one piece. relax, cupcake. i got ya."

she shifts. "c'mon, yums, let's get outta here."

Nomi recovered consciousness and immediately began apologizing in a hoarse, panicked whisper. Yumi didn't catch all of it, but she heard her own name and the words "asked about her", and that was enough.[break][break]

"There's nothing to ask, Miss Sato," she said to Nomi with the cool apathy of a woman who was ready to move on with her life. "Parker and I know each other from a past time, that's all. You have nothing to worry about."[break][break]

Still, Yumi's heart twisted with an unexpected ache when Parker called her 'Yums'. Shoving away the wish for a friendship she'd likely never have, Yumi nodded silently before turning on her heel and stalking toward the exit.
