[Was it a little mean to be keeping something so important from one of his trainees? Probably. But it's not like he was going to hold them hostage forever-- once that little mirage clears up, he'd be happy to pass them back her way, no problem. But in the meantime...]
Nooo~pe, you gotta catch me first--!
Ahahaha!
[A cackle rings out in the air, then, the laughter sounding nearly identical to Hanako's, but... no, it overlapped a little too closely with what he said just then, didn't it? Not to mention the voice was just a touch higher, a bit scratchier...
He stops abruptly in his tracks-- probably giving Junna a perfect opportunity to catch up and wrest her glasses back, no doubt-- his face paling as the sound registers with him. It was a laugh he knew well... probably his whole life, even. Junna would probably know it too... though with less positive associations, of course.]
Amane, Amane, c'mon!! I wanna see if we run into a dragon again!
[... why couldn't the tree just stick to embarrassing fantasies instead of reverting back into traumaville for him??? Explaining a crush on a fellow Dreamer was infinitely more appealing in this moment than addressing whatever fresh sibling angst this was about to awaken in him again.]
