[Like everyone else, Kushina is confused by the crap ton of new arrivals and their lack of wings. Only she's going to question the whole network about it instead of keeping it to herself. Maybe someone will know the answer.

She's hanging out by the bakery when she makes her post, so maybe you'll overhear her if you're around.]

I have a question. Why don't any of the new arrivals in Luceti have wings this month? I thought you needed them to be here.

[Silence... for a while, until there's a plucking/ripping sound and immediately afterward a loud;]

OWWWW!!

['Ttebane. She drops the journal, turning it off.]

[He's not perceptive if he doesn't notice this. He knows her inside out, her little gestures and her subtle quirks. She's his wife and that should tell so much about the familiarity they share. Whatever this prank he supposedly pulled, it did more harm than squeeze out laughs.

Minato takes her hand in his in a gesture of reassurance.]

No, you're not.

[He couldn't mask the worry in his voice.]

Do your wings still hurt? [He frowns a little. He knows her too well.] -Or are you hurting elsewhere? Tell me what happened.

gooooooood <3

[fervidity]

[As if on its own, her free hand clutches the cloth over her heart. The hand Minato's holding, clutches at his.

Her brow furrows at the ground. It's not her wings. She could handle physical pain but the pain in her heart ached and she couldn't tough that out.]

I thought you two really forgot about me.

:3c

[derpivity]

[Minato almost cringes at what she said. How can something like that even be possible? His frown deepens, realizing that this place is at it again.]

We would never.

[His voice is firm, his tone stressing a certainty not even the strongest of waves could wash away.]

I suppose it's this place again playing tricks on us.

[fervidity]

[They could. She's heard about it enough times in this place. It was just the suddenness of it that caught her off guard and has her panicked. Hurt.]

You really, honestly remember everything?

[derpivity]

[Minato gives her a slow nod. His eyes should never betray his sincerity.]

I do. I would never forget you. [A pause.] I don't think I even have it in me to try and pretend as if I did.

[fervidity]

[That's... true. Minato was by no means cruel -- not to her, nor intentionally. In fact, he doesn't even play pranks. She relaxes.

And then gets angry.]

I'm so sick of the Malnosso! And their dumb experiments! Where the hell are they!

[PUNCHES AN OPEN PALM AND MOVES TO STOMP OFF AND FIND THEM

Not this was playing on her fears.]

[derpivity]

[Nope, not going anywhere like that. The hand still holding hers gives a light squeeze to prevent her from stomping off to find them. There's no way, at least for now, to find them especially with the barrier on.]

Kushina, don't.

[His tone is relaxed as if to balance her temper.]

We will have our way with them when the time comes, but not for now. I think there's a bigger Shift going on here, something to do with bringing in more people. [Now that he thinks about it, Kushina probably met another him who doesn't know her. He did meet the First Hokage (and Madara fff) earlier, after all.] People we know and people we don't, regardless of time.

[He pauses as he frowns.] Regardless of who they are.

[fervidity]

[She's jerked to a stop, looking at him with a deep frown and not calmed down in the least despite his sound reasoning. Considering how this place worked, it wasn't unheard of.

But she's no less pissed off.]

Yes, now! They're just going to keep doing it, ya know!
