Um!!

[It is...Definitely super weird! But she's doing her best, moving toward a soon to be victim.]

It's fine, I've got it...now...

[Alright. She should have the timing right, which means she Should be able to stop time and disconnect these before the victim actually perishes...so....

Connect ..!]

[endlesspastability]

[he's a touchy feely person and his feeding cables just gotta Be Like That.

The cables seem to jump out of her hands to stab their needles into the victim, one in each bicep. There's a loud pop and zapping noise. It's very quick, but if Reira is quicker, she might be able to arrest the process before the person is fully electrocuted and dies]

[gobo_projection]

[And quick, she is. This time, she has a trick. Time stops. Time resumes. Time stops. Time resumes. Back, and forth, and back, and forth. She keeps doing it until just the right moment, at which point she stretches and takes a moment to get her breath back.

And pulls the cables back out.

The person looks a bit red-faced despite the doped smile caused by the visor, but otherwise with a quick check...

Time resumes, and a pulse is there.]

Okay! You're done, come inside! ...Trust me!

[endlesspastability]

[We have a pulse!! Probably with an arrhythmia but who's counting? He's alive!

Sonic whimpers from outside, then peeks in]

... Are you sure...? I feel like I ate... but... he's... alive?

[he definitely did not explode like the last time! There's some pretty serious burns where the cables were connected, and where the metal of the helmet contacts the man's skin, but he is breathing and still in blissful ignorance]

Woah... Reira, you did it!

[gobo_projection]

Hmhmmmm~!

[Excuse her, she's Very proud of this.] Yeah!! And now whenever you have to eat, no one will be dead!

[Ignore the arrhythmia!]

[endlesspastability]

Man....

[Suddenly, Sonic grabs Reira and gives her a BIG HUG. It'd be bone-crushing for a human! But for another monster it's just a little uncomfortable. Metal body and all... He does keep it short at least. His eyes show a watery, wibbly animation]

Thank you. Thank you so much.

[gobo_projection]

Heheheee..!! [Uncomfortable though it may be, Reira doesn't mind. If anything she only grins wide, the emotional display catching. It's a step forward, for Sonic. It's a step to success, to happiness, to living here and living.

It's something he doesn't have to let build, and build, and build until he's buried beneath the ground, and she'll take a thousand awkward and painful hugs for that.]

And now, we know what we can do every month..~

[endlesspastability]

Ah... That's a big relief. I mean... It's not great. [he still wants to go home. He still wants to stand on the bluffs above his home town again. To hug his friends. To watch movies with Ozzy. But it's better than the head explody from before] But it'll work. It's way better than... what happened before. [both the explosion and the losing his goddamn mind]

[gobo_projection]

Yeah!

[She won't clarify. For his sake.]

If we just use this, then that's good enough for until it's gone for good!
