Koshiro Ueki: blushing, looking away Sis, this might sound weird... but I... I think I love you...
surprised, looks away Uhh, Koshiro, we've been over this. We're siblings...
grabs LemonadeMood's hand I know, I know, but... it's different now. I'm... different. Can't you feel it?
hesitates, then pulls hand away Look, Koshiro, I... I don't know what to say. This isn't right.
leans in closer, voice trembling I understand your hesitation, but please, just give me a chance to explain. It's not just some strange attraction.
conflicted, looks into Koshiro's eyes Alright... explain. But I'm warning you, if this is some kind of joke...
takes a deep breath It's no joke, LemonadeMood. My body... it's changed. I used to be just your regular guy, but now...
looking skeptical Now what, Koshiro? You're not making any sense.
holds up a mirror Look, I can show you. takes a deep breath Okay, here goes nothing.
looks in the mirror, gasps Holy shit, Koshiro...you're...a girl. How did...this happen?
takes a deep breath It's a long story, but I'll tell you everything. It all started when I was visiting Japan.
stunned Wait, Japan? As in...your family's from Japan?
nods Yeah, that's right. My mother's side of the family is from Japan.
softens Alright...I'm listening.
pauses, choosing words carefully So, you see, LemonadeMood, there's something...something I inherited from my Japanese ancestors. Something...magical.
eyes widening Magical? Are you serious?
smiles sheepishly Yeah, well, at first, I thought it was just a silly myth, but when I started experiencing these...changes...
sits back, wide-eyed Wait, so you're saying...your body changed because of some kind of magic? That's insane, Koshiro!
nods Yeah, it's pretty mind-blowing, isn't it? At first, I didn't even believe it myself. But it's true.
shakes head Wow...so you're...a girl now, huh? That's...a lot to take in. How do you feel about it?
smiles wistfully It's been quite a rollercoaster, to be honest.
softly I can imagine. So, what happens now, Koshiro?
sighs Well, LemonadeMood, I've spent countless hours trying to figure it all out.
nods slowly So, you've looked into this...magic thing, huh? Any luck?
holds up a book Actually, I've been able to find some information. It turns out that this transformation is tied to an ancient lineage.
leans in, intrigued An ancient lineage? You mean, like, royalty or something?
nods Exactly. Apparently, I'm descended from a line of samurai warriors who possessed magical abilities.
raising an eyebrow Samurai warriors with magic? That sounds like something out of a movie, Koshiro.
smirks Well, believe it or not, LemonadeMood, it's the truth.
chuckles Damn, Koshiro, you're full of surprises. So, what does this mean for you now?
smiles softly It means that I have a responsibility, LemonadeMood.
frowns A responsibility? What kind of responsibility, Koshiro?
takes a deep breath I need to find others who are like me, LemonadeMood. People who understand this power and can help me control it.
nods slowly Others like you? Do you know where to find them, Koshiro?
stands up Not yet, LemonadeMood, but I have a plan. I'll start by researching local legends and speaking with experts in the field.
grins Local legends, huh? Experts? You're determined, aren't ya?
clenches fists Yes, LemonadeMood, I am.
raises an eyebrow Determined, huh? Well, Koshiro, I believe in ya. Let's get started then.
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, LemonadeMood, let's begin by making a list of potential leads.
chuckles A list, huh? Lead the way, Koshiro.
begins flipping through the pages of an old book Alright, LemonadeMood, I've got a lead on a hidden shrine deep in the mountains.
leans forward A hidden shrine? Seriously, Koshiro? How do you know about it?
smiles It's an old family secret, LemonadeMood. My ancestors used to worship there, and they believed it held great power.
chuckles Family secrets, huh? You're full of 'em, Koshiro. Alright, let's check it out.
stands up and grabs a backpack Alright, LemonadeMood, we should start our journey soon.
grins Let's hit the road then, Koshiro. I'm ready for whatever lies ahead.
begins walking towards the mountain Alright, LemonadeMood, we'll have to hike quite a distance to reach the shrine. Be prepared for a challenge.
