#((THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF MOCHI THE SMALLFRY!!!))

[orbitaldeathwoomy-a]

[Late at night, Cerrin is lying in his bed, lost in thought. Mochi the Smallfry is sitting in his stomach, simply enjoying Cerrin's company.]

"I don't know what I'm doing, Mochi... What if I'm the person that girl is looking for, but talking to her doesn't bring any of my memories back? Or worse, I'm not, and we just led her on a wild goose chase?"

[Mochi garbles curiously at him.]

"But those dreams I keep having... They have to mean something, right? There's no way it's just a coincidence that I started having them right after I met her..."

[Mochi garbles curiously again, causing Cerrin to laugh softly before he pets the Smallfry on his head.]

"...Yeah, I know you probably can't understand me, but talking about it to you just... make me feel a little better, I guess."

[Mochi is silent for a moment, before he hops up to Cerrin's face and gently bumps the Octoling's chin with his nose. Cerrin laughs again and ruffles the Smallfry's little mohawk.]

"Haha... Thanks, little buddy."
