[ Don't feel too safe yet… Considering this line of topic— ]
Other effective ways? You mean like the time you kissed Aventurine? You're right! I wonder if it's more effective than a normal hug? Do you think the others know?
[ Others, meaning the people who have been here longer than them. ]
[ His other two pairs of headwings puff out before closing around his face at once. ]
.....................................I only did that because I thought he was going to hurt you badly, and I was acting quickly to stop him. Can we please never speak of that again?
[ Aw! 💕 Shy Sunday… Hearing those words makes Caelus smile, feeling touched that Sunday acted right away for his sake. Without hesitation. Who wouldn't be touched, in his position?
So out of gratitude, he easily agrees. ]
All right, all right. I promise to keep it a secret!
Yes, that is one of the details you should leave out of your journal. That is also the last time I will try such a tactic ever again.
[ In public. ]
Your method of dispensing hugs might be the more appropriate approach, though Aventurine mentioned there should be an existing tether in place for heightened effectiveness.
Is that the case? So are hugs just as effective as kisses, you think? Did Aventurine say anything specific?
[ Having an existing tether makes sense to increase the effectiveness, though. The tethers themselves already feel good on their own, spending close proximity with someone they trust. ]
All I know is that Tokens like me are supposedly more compatible with an Offering like you.
Tethers do help as do more...involved forms of intimacy. I would say depending on where and who you kiss, it may be more effective than a hug.
Now, that he failed to mention. [ But it does explain a bit. ] I was not aware harmony between the two Tokens was also crucial to escaping the effects of Sundowning.
If there is ever a time you feel frustrated, angry, or like being alone, please do not forget to nurture those feelings as well. If you constantly repress those emotions, you may be liable to lash out in peculiar and unhealthy ways.
[ Frustration, anger, loneliness, sadness… All of those emotions, Caelus also wants to experience properly, because he understands that they will help him become more and more human. It will help him grow kinder and stronger, and he wants to be the best person he can be, as he continues his own trailblaze. ]
If I'm honest right now, I want… to see the Astral Express again.
[ He hasn't been home in so long, no thanks to what happened in Amphoreus. And now, he's even stuck here this time. ]
As do I, though I know it is a greater loss for you. You have known them longer and experienced far more adventures with them. Do you see them as your family?
I… I do. They're the only ones I have. And I know I should count myself lucky, because I have you and Dan Heng here.
[ Though that's the case, he still misses the rest of the crew. ]
I think I was the only one who managed to talk to Mr. Yang in Sleep's dream back then. Even though it was only a little while, I'm… really happy I saw him again.
I am sorry they are not also here with you, but I will do all in my power to reunite you and Dan Heng with them. I know there are also others trapped here, who were taken from their family...They deserve to go home, too.
[ He doesn't know how yet, but he wants to save them all. ]
[ Those feelings are so sincere and kind, Caelus can't help but feel warmed by them. Sunday is always like this, so lovely and precious, like his sister. It's really no wonder why Caelus is so quickly fond of these two Halovian siblings. That's why he wants to do everything he can as well, to try and find a possible way to have these two connect again somehow in the future. ]
[ He's not sure yet if he can consider the Astral Express his home, especially so soon after losing his former one, but it is a heartwarming thought. ]
Of course, we will. How about we visit the giant park when your camera is repaired? We can capture some of this world's hidden beauty in the areas that have not decayed completely yet.
[ Sunday and the others will likely end up surprised at how far Caelus has come from his adventures in Amphoreus, as his writing skills have significantly improved due to his involvement with the Remembrance. Aventurine certainly was impressed. ]
I need to chase down everybody to take their photo, too.
[ But that's part of the fun!! … Caelus would love to say that, but he knows Sunday will probably kill him, so he doesn't. He just decides to nod; it's not visible, but the tether makes Sunday feel it. He'll be a good raccoon. ]
I think you have nothing to worry about, though! Every angle you have is a good side!
I appreciate the vote of confidence. The tabloids do try their best to find unflattering photos of me, though I do not think there is any further need to smear my reputation.
[ Everyone already knows what he did at the Charmony Festival and about his fall from grace. ]
...Well, I thank you again for reaching out and thinking of me. I should return to cleaning up the hotel.
They're just milking the hot topic! They'll eventually get tired of it. And I'm sure Robin will do something about it, too.
[ Journalist bastards. Whenever a new hot topic comes around, they'll all forget this for sure and start milking the next one. Sunday just needs to hang in there a little longer. Hopefully, one day, his reputation as a trailblazer will rise, and his story will have a great turnaround. ]
Hehe. Of course. Talk to me anytime you want, Sunny! I'll see you later.

I apologize, I will not burden you any further with those thoughts. I will see you later as well. Please stay safe until then.
