One more dsmp Emotion that I've remembered today: The old concept of Puffy and Schlatt being siblings and forgive me for kind of. Brain-word-dumping in your ask box I'm going down my rabbit hole of dsmp emotions once again and when that happens This happens.

Schlatt being Puffy's idiot little brother that she heard was sowing some shit and came to L'/Manburg to knock some sense into in the way only a sibling can. And she shows up after the war and hops off her ship and walks up to the town and goes jeez. Did my brother do that.

And then she walks by the people who are recovering from whatever battle just happened and she's looking around and he's not there. And he's not there. And he's not there.

And like. She was kind of looking forward to seeing him again!! They left off on bad terms last time they saw each other. They were so close as kids, and then he started neglecting his health and she started berating him for it and they got into this huge argument. And maybe she just wants to pick him up so she can rekindle their relationship. She misses him. He's her little brother.

But he's not there. And he VERY MUCH SHOULD BE, considering how public the L'/Manburg elections were and how publicly he won them. That's the whole reason she showed up.

So she checks in with someone. Hey, she's here to pick up her dipshit brother Jschlatt, did he make this crater? She's so sorry about the mess he caused and she'll be taking him out of your hair for a bit. And they go wait. Go back. Your brother Jschlatt?

And she goes yeah of course do you have any other sheep in the area? In that light jovial tone that she has. Something awful happened here. She's trying to lighten the mood. She can't. She can't, because the next thing that the other person says is--

He's dead. He died earlier today.

And all Puffy can say is. Fuck. She was just a little bit too late. She was just a few hours late to talk to her little brother again for the first time in what I imagine to be years. She was too late, and now he'll never be here again.

[She avoids Glatt, on the rare occurrences when he's around. He doesn't remember her. It hurts that her brother's face can't recognize her.]

[She chooses not to think about what the fact that he can't remember her means.]
