He's been having a hard time adjusting. He doesn't remember being here before and I know it bothers him that people remember him but he doesn't know who they are. He likes having control over what's going on.

[...sighs...]

See, he didn't say any of that. I can't read his mind. We can't really do anything about knowing him from when he lived with Lily either...Is there anything you can think of that might calm him down?

I wish I had an answer, but I don't. I know me talking to him won't help, because you're not the first person that's come to me about him.

[l-laughs]

I'd feel better about it if I was the only person to come to you about him. I wouldn't expect you to talk to him about it though. You're his sister, not his babysitter. And he's plenty old enough to say if he has a problem. I was just hoping for...insight.

And to give you a heads up if it becomes a bigger issue. The last time someone one-sidedly directed a problem at Lily we died. I'd like to avoid a repeat of that for obvious reasons.

If it helps to know, I doubt he'd try to kill you guys on purpose. There's one person he wants to kill, and it's not Lily.

[...]

All the weirdness is him not knowing how to handle people and just. . . not being sure how to handle whatever his feelings are on Lily. Maybe try to not have any expectations or something?

I already don't have any expectations. No one does.

[his lil cube shrugs]

He didn't seem to like it when I told him to relax and stop using fake names, so I was planning on giving him space. If he's not going to make it a bigger issue then I'm fine leaving it alone, honestly.

But...you know. He's your brother.

But he doesn't know that, does he? All he knows is that he was here before on Lily and people know him, but he doesn't know them.

[she shakes her head]

Relaxing isn't something he does. He's my brother and I care about him a lot, but he's... there's... just a lot of stuff going on and he's not really good at coping. Like how I used to be really bad at it.

Whether he knows it or not, that doesn't mean he should be taking it out on unrelated people. And most of Lily is unrelated to that.

It sounds like you've already got your hands full dealing with him. Sorry, I didn't mean to add more on to your plate.

I'd say I'd talk to him about it, but he already told me to stop bringing things to him... but if it keeps getting worse, tell me?

... There's just a lot going on. I'm sorry if he's bothering you guys.

I'll keep you updated. From what you've said, it should be fine.

[hesitates for a moment longer before asking]

How are you doing, lately? It has been a lot. I haven't had a good chance to ask how you're holding up.

Honestly?

I could be way better, but I'm not about to turn into a giant mess like I used to.

I'm still sorry to hear that. I can't give you a hug over a cubecall. But I can give you a hug the next time I see you. And sweets. Spinel asked for a sacher torte, so I figured I'd make one big enough to share.

[she shrugs]

I wouldn't mind either of them. And I don't think I've ever had one of those!

It's a very rich kind of cake. But we don't have apricots so I have to substitute the fruit inside of it.
