alpina

 [Am thinking this would take about episode 47 but instead of Sougo dragging her out and straight into her past timeline they uhh stick around and hash things out somewhat. IDK. Just quietly shove Woz and uncle somewhere else. Oh wait. Have an idea to deal with that.]

******************************
[ Alpina.

She definitely heard him say that name. Then as soon as she heard that name, she reacted before thinking. Her hands came up in front of her and the world was suddenly still. She needed time to think. Time to get her mind around what was happening. They had spent all night looking for Sougo, gave up, were about to eat breakfast and then he came running in. He was very beaten up, suddenly had a revelation about Build and was then dragging her out of the room.

Check.

Then suddenly he knew her name. That was the thing that threw her for a loop. That's not the type of thing you can just spring on a girl in front of everybody. It wasn't long ago that she had smiled and declared to everybody that she was herself and her past didn't matter. BUT ...this was before she found out who she actually is. Did it really not matter? ]

Sougo...

[ Her voice is soft. She takes a deep breath while she stands there for a moment longer, watching his face closely. She has no reason to not trust him. Even when she was the one that betrayed him not long ago, he had accepted her back without question. Not even that. He had invited them back in.

Alpina moves from her position between Sougo, Geiz and the others and goes to sit on one of the steps nearby. She takes another deep breath and then lifts a hand to unfreeze time just for Sougo. One challenge at a time. Her gaze is fixed squarely on the ground in front of his feet for now. ]

How do you know my name?
