I hate that there's a real possibility genetics in this family might be a bit more messed up than I thought.
[In which case she's going to need to check their profiles on that ancestry website way more often than she does. Jesus Christ, Wilder Sr.]
Somehow, I'm not surprised that even in another world and with a bigger stigma, he still did it anyway. Just...disappointed, I guess.
Hey. I'll keep an eye out for her—this world's Seles or yours. If and when she pops up, you'll be the first to hear about it. [It's all she knows she can really do. She really does hope there's a Seles, it'd be nice to have a little sister.]
One of them knows. The other one doesn't really seem aware of it, but I'm working on getting him here. But the one who keeps watching us...
Well, if he knows we're there and he's got some idea what we are to him, maybe give him a couple of days to scope the place out before we give him the spiel. Maybe he's nervous about meeting family he's never met.
["Sis you don't know the half of it", Zelos mutters to himself outloud as he reads the text. But that's not a conversation he's willing to unpack right now. Or... ever, really]
Yeah, I get it. Sorry to say that if there's a universe that our old man wasn't a piece of shit? It's not one I'm familiar with. He was crappy in my world too.
But.... thanks. I got no way to check up on the Seles I knew, to see if she's still okay, but knowing how this world's one is doing... it'd give me some peace of mind, I think.
[He loves and is happy to have Belle in his life, but he misses Seles. The train reminded him of that fact. ]
Hmm.... nah, I think giving him some extra days will just make him talk himself out of ever meeting us.
You keep working on the college kid. Next time Scowly swings by, I'll confront him. It'll serve him right for stalking~
you know, I knew he was crappy, and it's been a long, long time since I thought he was anything like a father to me and Wise. But these two look younger than me, which just means he didn't even bother to learn any better. I didn't know I could be more disappointed in him.
I'm sorry he was just as bad in your world, too.
I'll see what I can do. If a version of her exists here, and there's no reason to think she doesn't, there has to be some digital traces of her. Even a birth certificate. I can't guarantee fast results, though.
[She wishes she could do more, but there's only so much even the legendary Phaethon can do, even for those she loves with her whole heart.]
Don't spook him too hard! He might hiss at you and run away—or, no, that's what a stray cat would do.
Anyway yeah I'll keep working on "flamelord420". I think I've hooked him with VHS tapes.
Well, you're my brother. It's the least I could do.
If he's been just watching us like a sad puppy in the rain, I think even approaching him too fast might spook him. But all right, I trust you. Just be sure he gets a flyer.
lol tbf to you there's literally no competition at all. Wise would watch nothing but documentaries if you let him pick the movies, and this guy apparently has no social media accounts. In this, the age of social media. I, however, am very cool.
house maintenance + new furniture + non-Bangboo staff don't pay for themselves!
Nope! As far as I can tell, his parents are just really strict with his Internet presence. Good for them that they're taking Internet safety seriously, honestly, it is so easy to track somebody down via their social media pages these days.
[Being a hacker herself, she'd know.]
Watch out, I'll be coming for your title of "coolest sibling" next~

[That's all he wants to say about that, as it's an uncomfy situation he does NOT want to dwell on]
Thanks Belle, that means a lot to me.
Psh, it'll be fine. It's not like I'm gonna hurt him. Just make it real clear we know what he's up to.
.... "Flamelord420"? Wow. Good to know I won't have to compete for the "cool brother" slot.

What? No social media accounts? What is he a boomer trapped in the body of a kid?
And yeah yeah, you're cool. But you're a sister, so that's different!
