Weekend 5...?
Weather: Clear skies all weekend
On Saturday, there’s nothing new or unusual. It seems like the wish granting has been put on hold, and your efforts can continue to go towards progressing the island more. With the museum, Able Sisters, the entertainment area, the garden and more, the amount of development Isle Sonrisa has gone through is crystal clear when you compare it to your first week here.
All seems to be normal. That is, until you decide to fall asleep.
Whenever you begin to dream, your dreams are very vivid and reminiscent of the time you all dreamt about your homes. This time, however, you see your fellow islanders around you. Everyone may look confused, trying to figure out where they are. And that’s entirely fair, because where you are now is a little different from the island you’re used to.
That power you felt earlier in the week feels strong, too. It feels natural. And when you channel your energy…
Those of you who had powers originally will feel them start to manifest. Every ability you had is coming back. They seem a little...dampened, though, like they aren’t the full extent of what you could do before. Those who did not have abilities before will start to feel in tune with whatever’s on their person, whether it be a shovel, a bug net, even a stack of apples… You’ll be able to use them in ways you couldn’t have before.
And maybe you’ll learn how to use that new ability soon, because someone is waiting on top of one of the ledges, staring down at all of you. And he is staring very, very intensely at you. A moment passes, and then he hops down...and swings his net at the nearest person.
Strangely, if the target is you, it doesn’t hurt. You feel the boink land, but it doesn’t hurt at all. Should you choose to retaliate, no matter what you do, the boy does not seem to be in pain either. Now’s the time to experiment with your newfound (or returning) abilities. Mess around with the environment, or go ham on one another! The strangest thing is that you will feel your energy draining the more you use your powers -- which is to be expected -- but the pain never really settles in.
Furthermore, there are no injuries or blood. In fact, every punch, every kick, every impact looks cartoonish!
The last notable thing is for Joonghyuk. If he looks up at the sky at any given moment, he’ll specifically see a shooting star fly across the sky. The wish to have strength is going a little haywire, but it’s certainly something, isn’t it?
As for Sunday, well… It’s worth mentioning that those abilities aren’t just a dream after all. In fact, you feel as though you can use them in real life, too, with the same effect -- the environment can be altered (for instance: super strength means you might be able to lift a tree with your bare hands, with some work) but there are no injuries or pain when you use them on others! … But the strange boy from that dream is nowhere to be found. Huh. Wonder what that was about...

His gesture keeps her from asking those questions, though, and she just smiles in return as she sits next to him. ]
no subject
In this space, nobody looks at Kaede when she walks through the lounge and up the stairs, almost as if she were already a ghost. In the same way, nobody looks at Minato when he opens his mouth and whispers, ] Hey. [ in greeting, almost as if he were one too.
Nobody but the dog on his lap, sensitive to spirits as animals tend to be, who stretches out on Minato's lap and yawns, pressing his paws up against Kaede's leg. Hello. ]
no subject
She smiles down at the dog, reaching out to gently pet him. ]
Are they your friends?
[ Her voice is quiet, even though the others had no reaction when Minato had greeted her. ]
no subject
...Yeah.
[ He wants to believe that they are. His team, his friends, they can be both. ]
This guy's name is Koromaru. [ The dog's tail thumps behind him, wagging, as if he understands the need to keep quiet. ]
no subject
[ She continues to pet him, scratching him gently behind the ears. ]
Too bad they can't see us. I bet it would be fun to meet them. [ She pauses. ] It was like that in my dream too.
no subject
You too, huh? At least Koromaru can see us. I didn't... think I minded too much about the others. I want them to be happy, and they are. So it's enough for me to just watch them.
[ Like he'd always insisted, just watching makes him happy. Even if he's not a part of it. It's sort of what he'd wished for, he thinks, back then when he sat next to Kaede just like this and wished upon the stars. ]
no subject
But she can't help but wonder if Minato really is okay with that. Before, she believed him, thinking that it is enough. After that dream of everyone being safe and happy, however... she knows that it's harder than it sounds. ]
...Is it really enough for you?
[ There's no doubt in her that Minato is happy seeing them happy, but that happiness can also be painful. ]
no subject
It has to be enough. The alternative... is pain and anguish, for everybody. I'll still lose everybody in the end, so this is the best decision I can make.
no subject
I'm sorry you have to deal with all the pain by yourself. [ That's not something anyone should have to go through, even if it's better for everyone else. ]
Is there really no other way?
