Three Cheers For SCP Nagizuru! For He Has Made A Glorious Return! We Can Rejoice!!!

Three cheers for SCP Nagizuru! For he has made a glorious return! We can rejoice!!!

I love writing both Lighthouse au and SCP au Nagizurus. They are incredibly fun. And I hope they are fun for y’all as well.

As promised, this one is more cosmic being powers. What will it be this time?

Hajime found himself getting impatient for quite an odd reason. A reason that most others were thanking whatever deities they believed existed for. There had not been a containment breach yet.

Now, Hajime wasn’t wishing for the death or destruction that typically came along with the breaches. Just the breach itself, as it would allow Nagizuru to sneak them away from the facility to visit his friends and family back home.

However, the facility remained as secure as usual. Nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.

His annoyance was noticed, as he soon felt his companion begin running his hands through the spiky brown hair. “Relax, darling. It will come one day. No need to fret or worry.”

Hajime sighed as he closed his eyes. “I know. I know. But it still doesn’t lessen my eagerness.”

He heard a soft laugh behind him, tickling the back of his neck. “And you call me impatient.”

Hajime scoffed. “Don’t try that. We both know you are far more impatient than me. Remind me of who can’t go even half an hour without seeing me?”

The entity hummed. “You can’t blame me for being so desperate to stay by your side. You are simply perfect for me.”

The human rolled his eyes, though he couldn’t deny that his cheeks reddened a bit from the words. Never before had someone declare their devotion to him. It was… flattering, and he enjoyed it a lot.

He felt Nagizuru grin behind him, lowering one of his hands to grasp the human’s own. “Now tell me, my dear. What would you like to do today?”

“Hmmm…” Hajime stared up at the ceiling as he thought. “Honestly, I don’t really want to leave our place today. I don’t feel like walking around.”

“A lazy day in, is it? I am more than happy to oblige. I shall take care of chores, so relax and do what you like,” the SCP told him.

“Geez, having powers sounds pretty convenient. Is there any limit to what you can’t do?” Hajime asked without really thinking.

“Oh? Are you curious about my abilities?” Nagito asked, pulling his arms and hands away from the human to his slight dismay. “I am capable of much. Almost anything your mind can conjure up. For example…”

The large mass of warmth behind him vanished suddenly, leaving his back cold and his mind confused. “Nagizuru? Are you still here? What happened?”

“You will see.”

The voice wasn’t spoken out loud. He felt it echo in his mind, like it was transmitted directly into his brain. But before he could ask why this method was chosen to communicate, the reason was soon revealed.

A large, white rabbit with glowing red eyes hopped next to him on the bed, staring up at him with a nose twitch.

Hajime stared back with wide eyes. “Wh-what? Is… that you?” was all he managed to say.

A wide smile grew on the rabbit’s face. A sight that looked unsettling from how abnormal it appeared. “What have I told you about underestimating me? I can do more if you wish to see.”

The rabbit turned and hopped off the bed, body growing much larger as it moved through the air. Soon, a giant white tiger with red stripes was standing in front of him.

Hajime barely swallowed back the yelp at the sight of such a large creature. “I… I didn’t know… they were that big,” he said, body instinctively stiff from fear.

Again, the entity's current form grinned, the predator’s sharp white teeth on display. “No Earthly animal or cosmic creature is beyond my capabilities.” The tiger crouched down and began to leap, body shifting in midair again. Hajime couldn’t help closing his eyes and bracing for impact. But instead of something large, he felt a tiny body make contact with his hair. He cracked open his eyes, widening them when he saw a small white bat hanging down in front of his face. “It is nice to see you from varying perspectives. You are wonderful to look at even when upside down.”

Hajime ignored the tugging on his hair antenna where the bat was hanging from to focus more on the mischievous entity. “You really can turn into anything?”

The bat nodded. “Anything. Is there anything in particular you would like to see?”

The brunette had to force himself to keep his head still and not shake it with Nagizuru on him like this. “I can’t think of anything at the second. But I am curious about something. What’s your favorite form to take?”

“Other than the human form? I suppose there is one I have found that gets me the most attention and treats.”

The bat released his grip, shifting while falling. And soon, Hajime had a fluffy snowy cat on his lap. The feline purred as he settled down on the human’s lap.

“Ah, I understand now,” Hajime muttered, bringing his hand down to stroke the soft fur.

“Humanity seems to practically worship this species. Almost none were able to resist the charm when I approached like this. I found it quite fascinating,” Nagizuru told him, tail flicking in happiness as he relaxed into the pets.

“Yeah. Cats almost seem to have magic.” Hajime paused, thinking for a second. “They… don’t, right?”

The SCP on his lap laughed, clearly amused by the question. “No, they don’t. They are simply smart creatures. Though I will admit that it’s funny you asked.”

Hajime poked the entity’s head. “Well, you can’t blame me for being skeptical on occasion nowadays. I mean, there’s several facilities with objects and creatures that most would think too fantastical to be real. There’s a coffee machine that can produce magma, for example. Or that creepy teddy bear. Or, I don’t know, a clingy cosmic horror who’s first display of power to me was inverting a human. Shall I go on?”

The cat smirked at him. “You could if you so desired. But I understand the point you are trying to make.”

Hajime sighed, resuming his strokes. “Well, I suppose it is a good thing you were in human form when we first met. Otherwise, it would have been strange if an animal began asking me about my life.”

“Hmmm? I suppose that is true of our first direct encounter. But we saw each other before that rainy night.”

That made the human’s eyes widen. “What? I saw you before that night? How? What were you?”

“Multiple times. But I appeared like this.”

The cat shrank, the entity transforming into a smaller creature. One that fluttered up to rest delicately on one of his fingers. The butterfly’s wings were pure white, with the antenna and legs being red. It looked… familiar. But where had he…?

Suddenly, Hajime’s brain was flooded with memory snapshots. Of him in his college classes, staring out the window as his mind wandered away from the boring lectures. Of seeing a strange, white butterfly perched on the dying flowers outside of the math center. Of him wondering if it was the same one every day.

It made a fond smile grow. “So you were there. And I had no idea.”

The butterfly vanished and a heavier body landed on the bed behind him. The pale arms circling around him pulled him back into an embrace. “You had no reason to know. If I don’t want people to be alerted of my presence, they will never find out.” Nagizuru nuzzled into the brown hair, sighing happily. “But this body is my absolute favorite. I can do so much with you in human form. Especially this particular activity.”

A blush colored his cheeks at the actions and words. “S-so clingy,” he stuttered, trying and failing to sound stoic.

The SCP was not fooled. “Come now, Hajime. No need to try and hide it. You enjoy this, too. Don’t you?”

The last two words were whispered directly into his ear, sending several shivers down his spine. His reaction made Nagizuru giggle and hold him tighter.

Hajime grumbled, but didn’t protest or deny the words. They were true, after all. Not that he had any desire to admit it to the smug man behind him at the moment. But he didn’t mind spending time like this, especially with one so devoted. The days would certainly fly by, as he knew the entity had far more abilities he could show him. And he was eager to see them.

Snakes and humans and a wolf dog puppy! What a combo. What will they do?

Have a fun time, that’s what!

But yeah, Clover is gonna be a new regular in the giant naga chapters. Must give pupper all the love! She deserves it, I tells ya!

Hajime found himself once again needing to get used to a new constant in his life that he hadn’t initially prepared for. That being Clover, the newest edition to the household and forest. But he was happily surprised when it didn’t take much effort, as the tan wolf dog puppy was very well behaved for him.

She took to life in a house very quickly. She didn’t break or chew anything she wasn’t supposed to. She only barked when excited and was respectful of the rules. All around, she was practically the perfect dog.

She also loved running around the woods with Nagito. The naga had reported similar good behavior whenever she went with him. Clover always stayed close, never straying too far from her snake parent. She would smell the various plants and landmarks, but never attempted to eat anything. So both Hajime and Nagito felt no worries with her running ahead of them on their forest adventures.

So she of course went along with them as they all went to the expansive flower field to meet up with Sonia and Gundham. They had also dragged Izuru along, so the whole gang was there.

The main focus was, of course, Clover. Sonia and Gundham had cooed over her as soon as they saw her. But, to the more eccentric human’s dismay, she didn’t stay for very long at their side. Clover instead chose to stay near Hajime and Nagito, displaying who her preferred people were. Gundham had sulked briefly, Sonia claiming that this was the first time he hadn’t been an animal’s automatic favorite. Hajime and Nagito reigned in their snickers, not wanting to offend their friend.

And so time passed in the field. It was primarily spent playing and petting the puppy, who was overjoyed with all the attention. But eventually, she tired out. She crawled under one of Nagito’s large hands, flopping onto her side and panting herself to sleep.

Hajime stretched under to gently ruffle the fur on her head. She let out a doggy sigh, relaxing under the shade the naga was making. After confirming she was doing fine, he returned out into the open. Stretching his arms above his head, he glanced around to see what Izuru was doing. And to his surprise, he saw his brother carefully weaving the stems of some flowers into a crown.

“I didn’t know you knew how to do that,” Hajime found himself saying, attracting his twin’s attention.

Izuru scoffed. “Of course I know how to make them.”

Nagito leaned down, reptilian eyes gazing over the humans’ shoulders. “Wow. How pretty! Is it a crown made of flowers?”

Both of the twins looked up. “Yes, it is. Perhaps if you request it of him, maybe Hajime can learn to make one for you.”

Hajime rolled his eyes at his brother for planting that idea into the naga’s mind, as the green eyes stared pleadingly down at him. “You will, won’t you?” the larger creature asked while gently nudging the smaller body with his other hand.

Having fallen completely into the trap, Hajime felt slightly resigned as he agreed. “Okay. Izuru, teach me how to make them.”

“I would like to acquire this knowledge as well, powerful one,” Gundham chimed in, walking close and sitting down close to the other humans. Sonia followed behind, laying down next to Nagito to watch the process.

Seeing he had an attentive audience, the raven haired man nodded. “Very well. Let us begin.”

And so the lesson started. Flowers were plucked and carefully woven together to make a circular band. Hajime and Gundham picked up the technique right away, which was not terribly surprising considering who their teacher was. The nagas constantly praised their work, entranced as the crowns were slowly made.

Soon, all three humans had completed natural circlets in their hands. Hajime and Gundham held them up to admire, amazed that they were able to create them.

“Those are so cute! You did so good,” Nagito complimented, gently touching it with a claw.

That’s when Hajime got an idea. Well, two ideas. But he was able to do one of them right then and there. He grabbed hold of Nagito’s finger and slid the crown on. “Here, you can have it. It looks nicer on you.”

The pale cheeks darkened with a blush. “Are… are you sure? You worked so hard on it! And you’re giving it to me?”

“Of course. I can always make another now that I know how.” The brunette then looked over to his brother with a curious expression. “Although, it is a shame that it’s not big enough to fit your head. I wonder…”

His twin caught on very fast. “I suppose it’s possible. Allow me to assist.” He stretched his arm out to place his flower crown on the sleeping dog before returning to his original position. “We are fortunate in this field having plenty to work with.”

Nagito was far too distracted to take notice of their work, staring down at his new flower ring. And Sonia was very much in the same boat, admiring Gundham’s gift and sweet words to her. So Hajime and Izuru went undisturbed in their task. Which partially surprised Hajime, considering how long it took them.

But finish it, they did. The brunette let out a triumphant shout once the last flower was in place. “It’s done!!!”

Izuru sent a tiny, almost invisible smile his way. “Yes, it is.”

This small exchange of words attracted Nagito’s attention, who had been zoned out while petting Clover’s side. “Huh? What happened?” he asked, glancing back down to them. He let out a surprised gasp when he saw the completed project though. A flower crown, but this one significantly larger than the others. “Is that…?”

“Yes, it’s for you. Hopefully it’s big enough. Want to try it on?” Hajime confirmed, lifting part of the crown as a gesture.

“I would love to!” the naga exclaimed, happiness very evident in his voice.

It made Hajime’s cheeks redden a bit. “Lower your head a little more so Izuru and I can help put it on.”

Nagito did so instantly, cheeks also a bit pink. Together, the humans carefully dragged the floral construction over the snowy hair, doing their best to not break the fragile crown. But they were successful, and Nagito was soon adorned with the pretty blooms. Hajime patted the cheek once it was in place. “It’s on. You look wonderful.”

Nagito rose a little, tucking a stray lock behind his ear. “You… think so? I’m so happy!”

Hajime had to force his heart to not explode from the scene in front of him. It was almost too much for him to handle. It was way too cute. “N-no problem. I’m glad… you like it.”

“I don’t just like it. I love it!” Nagito then got a kiss attack from Clover, who had woken up from the noises. “Look, we match now!”

With Nagito distracted again, Hajime took this opportunity to take a picture of the two. He smiled as he examined it, making it his new Lock Screen photo.

“I take it you are pleased with the result, too?” Izuru asked, a smirk present now.

But the brunette was in too good of a mood to care. “I am. It was worth all the effort if it makes him that happy.”

“Is that right? Well, I’m glad you both approve.” He patted Hajime’s shoulder. “Good work, brother. And keep it up.”

Hajime pocketed his phone and returned to looking at the naga and wolf dog. “Yeah, I will for sure.”

Here comes the boy!!! Hello boy! Welcome! There he is! He is here!

Nagizuru!!!

Let us all take a moment to bask in his glory. And maybe give him something nice for once, cause man, he goes through some crap. Imma pretend like I have nothing to do with that for now though. Just focus on the nice stuff, Nagizuru!

Also! Gaze at this lovely artwork by @duckybathperson!

It had taken him far longer than he had wanted for him to accomplish this task. Far too long, but he hasn’t wanted to risk getting caught. However, he had finally managed to snag the last thing he needed for his plan.

Carefully concealing the small half dozen carton of eggs, Hajime quickly ducked into the elevator. He sighed as the doors closed, taking him up to the fifth floor and to safety. The cameras on the fifth and sixth never worked anymore. After a few attempts to repair them only for them to break, the staff had given up trying. They saw it as a waste of time and money, so Hajime was able to get away with sneaky objectives from time to time.

And he was ecstatic that after such a long time, he could finally accomplish something he had been wanting to do since the very beginning.

Make something nice for Izuru to eat.

The staff here were very strict on the types of food their experiment was allowed to have. Light food that provided just enough nutrition to keep him alive and stable, but the options were very limited. Hajime had done his best over the months to try and ease the monotony of the meals, throwing in whatever spices were provided and changing it up as much as he could, but it never felt like it was quite enough. And although Izuru had never complained about the food, it didn’t take a genius to know that he was bored with the menu.

So, Hajime had been determined to give him a decent meal at least once. He was careful and managed to sneak into the food storage for the other staff’s cafeteria. Slowly, he gathered ingredients and stored them away on the fifth floor, away from prying eyes and blabbermouths. The eggs had been last, and he had them in hand now. Therefore, Hajime rolled up his sleeves and got to work in the kitchen.

For the first time in a while, he was excited to make his charge’s meal. He dove into the task with excitement and motivation, expertly handling the kitchen equipment as he created his dish. And soon enough, he had the dish plated, warm, and ready.

He really had to hold himself back from rushing up to Izuru’s room as soon as it was done, knowing that he had to be careful to not jostle it. He placed a metal cover over top of the plate, which would help to keep the food warm. And perhaps add an element of surprise for the Ultimate Hope, to make things interesting for him. He took a deep breath, placed his hands on the cart, and began pushing it to the elevator.

Finally, he scanned his card and walked into the room, unable to keep the excited grin off his face. “It appears you have something new to share or provide,” Izuru observed as he sat up in his bed. “And what did you manage to sneak by the fools below?”

“You’ll see,” Hajime replied, grabbing the clipboard. “Let’s get these tests over with so you can have your surprise.”

“Very well. Proceed.”

So they did, Hajime writing down the results and administering the sedatives, though a little quicker in pace than usual. But Izuru made no comment on it, eyes occasionally flicking over to the cart to analyze the contents. It hadn’t taken long for him to notice the covered dish on the bottom, his gaze honed on it upon discovery. It made Hajime even more anxious to get to it. But he knew he had to do the boring parts first, then they could spend more time on the more interesting portions of this session.

Hajime couldn’t help the relieved sigh when he was finally able to put the clipboard back down on the cart. “Done. Now I can give you this.” He knelt and pulled the covered dish from the bottom shelf, pleased when it was still warm. He handed it to the white haired man, who gazed at the shiny metal cover with interest. Hajime grabbed the top of the cover, lifting it and revealing what he had made. “I was able to gather enough ingredients to make you a fresh omelet. It has bits of ham, grilled peppers, melted cheddar, and is topped with parsley. I… I hope you like it.”

Izuru hummed as he took a fork from his caretaker. “I can imagine how difficult it was to gather everything to make this. Let it be known that your efforts are noted and appreciated.”

The words made a genuine smile creep onto the brunette’s face. “Well, wait till you try it before praise. I want to see if it matches your palette.”

“Then I shall not waste a second more. Thank you for the food,” Izuru said as he cut a corner off and delicately ate it. His ruby reds locked with Hajime’s hazel. “My dear caretaker, you have done very well. This is the tastiest food item I have consumed upon my awakening. Take pride in this.”

Hajime found himself fighting the urge to pump his fist in excitement. Izuru liked it! He even praised it! It was the best possible reaction he could have asked for. “I am truly honored, sir.”

Izuru then seemed to get an idea, his smile morphing into a smirk. But before Hajime could ask what it was about, the experiment had cut off another piece of the food and speared it with the fork, raising it up and towards Hajime. “I know I am not the only one deprived of variety in the food category. Come now, give your creation a try.”

The brunette shook his head while feeling his cheeks redden. “I couldn’t possibly! It’s entirely yours to enjoy. I don’t deserve it.”

But instead of backing off, Izuru reached forward and grabbed the chain on the metal collar. It was tugged so that Hajime was forced to lean down, face now inches away from Izuru’s. “I insist, my dear caretaker.”

Swallowing down the lump in his throat, Hajime gave a small nod of understanding. It was now a request he dared not reject again. So he allowed the Ultimate Hope to feed him the forkful of egg. He had been correct, it was pretty good. It made him want to try and recreate this again. Provided, of course, he was able to obtain more ingredients.

Izuru didn’t immediately release him after he finished chewing. The grip on the chain remained solid as the other hand released the fork and rose to caress his cheek. “I can see the thoughts running through your head. If you desire to attempt more creations in the kitchen to provide for us both, I shall send you off with my blessing. But it would be wise for you to retain your sense of caution. I wouldn’t want anything unfortunate to happen to you. After all, you are the only one I will allow this close without consequences.” Then the grip on the chain was released, the experiment returning to eating with pleased hums.

Hajime took a step back and covered his mouth as he failed to control the heat in his cheeks. Whenever Izuru spoke to him like this or forced them to be close, it made him react strongly. And he was sure that his reaction was getting stronger and more obvious with each new action. But he knew Izuru enjoyed eliciting such reactions from him. And who was he to deny the Ultimate Hope of sights he clearly wanted to see?

He had received luck’s blessing. That was the least he could do for such a gift.

Despair is your duty!

So this is something that I’ve had pictured in my brain for years. No joke, it’s been years.

When I listened to The Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee, I instantly felt like it had Junko vibes. I thought it fit her pretty well. And thanks to the amazing and talented @karugoround, she is now a reality! But yeah, I hope y’all love it as much as I do! And thank you Karu for drawing this!

PS: Here’s the song link if any wanna take a listen.

SCP! SCP! You want it? You got it!

This was one I was eager to get to as soon as I thought of it. Made me grin like mad whenever I recalled that it was coming up on my list. And now it’s here!

It was so fun to write. And I’m sure it will be fun to read as well.

If you make a character a cosmic being, might as well give him some crazy abilities! Oh and don’t worry, I shall explore more abilities in the next SCP au too.

“Hey, can you clean up the dishes? I’m really tired tonight and don’t have the energy or motivation to do them,” Hajime requested his companion, who was sitting across the table from him.

The SCP tilted his head, but still nodded. “I can most certainly clean up. But if I may inquire, are you doing alright? Anything worrying you or stressing you out?”

“Nothing that you need to concern yourself over. Just… tired.” The brunette slowly pushed himself out of the chair and stepped over to the bedroom. He shut the door behind him, sighing as his hands left the doorknob. He wasn’t sure why, but he just felt drained today. He had tried his hardest to overcome it all day, but he had no more energy left. Hence his request to avoid doing the clean up.

But… he supposed there was something that could have influenced this energy deficiency. Lately, he had been thinking more about the friends and family he had left behind when he came to this place. Were they thinking of him? Were they doing okay? Did they worry about him? Would he ever see them again?

“Ah, so that’s what is on your mind.”

Hajime didn’t even flinch when the entity’s voice suddenly appeared behind him. Nor when the arms wrapped around his waist. He only sighed, not speaking.

Nagizuru was quiet for a few moments, but spoke again soon. “You know, perhaps we could, I don’t know, sneak out of the facility during the next containment breach. They wouldn’t know if we, let’s say, paid your family and friends a visit. How does that sound, my dear?”

Instantly, Hajime’s heart felt lighter. “You… you mean it? We could… go see them?”

Nagizuru laughed softly, the vibrations of the action felt through their physical contact. “Of course. They may not hold much meaning to me, but they do to you. And your happiness is my top priority.”

Hajime sighed, nearly shedding tears at the thought. “Thank you so much. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m eager for the next containment breach.”

“Indeed. Best not share this with the staff. They would surely not be of similar thinking.” The entity squeezed him a little tighter. “But in the meantime, let us preoccupy ourselves with other activities.”

The human raised an eyebrow. “You sound like you have something in mind.”

“Perhaps.”

Hajime blinked rapidly. The voice… had come from Nagizuru who was now standing in front of him. But if he was there, then who was holding him? He looked back and to his shock, the one holding him was the same person. “Wait! What? How?”

“Oh, Hajime. You underestimate my abilities.” That voice came from his left, where a third entity grabbed hold of his arm.

“I am quite capable of doing this. Is it that surprising?” a fourth asked, grabbing his right arm.

The one behind him tugged him backwards, so that they were now on the bed. The one in front extended a pale arm, pushing on his chest so that he fell back onto the other’s lap. The two on his arms wiggled close, still holding tight. And the one in front moved so that he was laying on the human’s legs.

He was now unable to move, trapped by four copies of the same creature. His heart and mind felt like they were about to explode from both confusion and being more flustered than he had ever been in his life.

Front looked at him with an amused grin. “I’ve not seen this expression on you before.”

Right rubbed a thumb on his shoulder. “It’s a sight I wouldn’t mind seeing again.”

Back ran his fingers through the brown hair. “Penny for your thoughts, Hajime?”

Left maneuvered so that he could whisper in his ear. “I would love to know.”

The human had to really fight to speak without squeaking in embarrassment. He could barely keep himself composed. Who could blame him? But he did manage to ask his question with only a bit of shakiness. “Are you… all different people? Isn’t… cloning yourself a bad idea? Won’t you fight each other to be the one true body?”

All four laughed. “Where did you get that idea? So silly,” Right asked him.

“Perhaps too many sci-fi films? They get so much about the universe wrong,” Left tacked on.

“As if they know anything of the horrors lurking at the edge of the universe,” Front commented, eliciting a bit of a shiver down the human’s spine.

Back pet his hair. “But to answer your question, Hajime, we are not separate.”

“We are one and the same.”

Hajime gulped as the four spoke at the exact same time. It was a little freaky, if he was being honest. Not to mention the implications of his earlier comment. “Uh… what did you mean by the horrors?”

“Oh, don't worry about it, Hajime.”

“You have nothing to fear from them.”

“They won’t come this far.”

“I’ve made sure of it.”

Again, that did little to calm him. “How powerful… are you?”

“Don’t concern yourself with that.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“All that matters right now is us.”

“And making you feel better.”

“Huh? You are… trying to make me feel better?” Hajime asked, not having expected that to be the reason for the clones.

“Of course!”

“You were feeling down and tired.”

“So I wanted to help in some way.”

“And I decided on comforting touches.”

Hajime let out a huff. “Don’t lie. You also wanted to do this to see my reaction.”

“Maybe.”

Groaning a bit, he laid his head back with force on the lap he was resting on, the only movement he could accomplish at the moment. Four sets of identical giggles filled the air, and the soothing touches began again. “I… guess I’ll admit that this is nice. But I’m surprised it’s taken you this long to do. Knowing you, I’m shocked you didn’t do this from the start.”

“Oh, it was considered.”

“Multiple times, in fact.”

“But I refrained.”

“I didn’t want to overwhelm you.”

Hajime raised an eyebrow. “Your definition of overwhelming is clearly not the same as mine. You waited for this but didn’t on inverting another person in front of me?”

“Priorities.”

“My.”

“Dear.”

“Hajime.”

The brunette decided to give up, knowing that winning was an impossibility. “At least you are comfortable,” he conceded.

The four smiled wide, the two on his arms slotting one of their hands into each of his. He curled his fingers around the hands, feeling them squeeze back.

“That’s right.”

“Relax.”

“Let your worries fade away.”

“And your mind ease.”

The combination of the various hands massaging him made all the tension in his body fade away. He felt himself go limp, not wanting to move at all. He was practically a rag doll now. He had half a mind to drift off, but would that be rude?

“You may if you desire to. This can certainly be repeated. And allow me to assist in another way.”

Hajime supposed he was thankful for the mind reading capabilities for now, as he didn’t have to speak to express his wants. He closed his eyes as the four around him began to hum in harmony. The gentle tune along with the gentle touches were enough to make him drowsy. And with one final squeeze, he fell asleep while held by the entity.

To the Octopath Traveler 2 fandom, I need help in answering a question I have.

What is Temenos’ relation to Roi?

I have seen a lot of recent fics and fanart that are tagging/indicating that they are siblings. But is that canon or fanon?

The only mention I have seen to this question’s answer was Temenos referring to Roi as a friend in a travel banter.

Which is it?

Edit: I have been informed that they are adopted siblings. Now we know!
