Well... it'll be a good strange. A... live forever strange! [There's a level of panic in Ranma's voice there's never been before.]

[hououji]

It isn’t… hurting anymore?

[fluidgender]

I'm... I'm pressing on it yeah, but you still have to be fighting with all you've got...!

[hououji]

… pull your hand away. Just for a moment?

[fluidgender]

A-are you crazy? That's... that's the only thing I can do right now!

[hououji]

Trust me?

[fluidgender]

Y-you can't ask me that now...

[But she... slowly... removes her hand. Closing her eyes.]

[hououji]

[ Fuu lifts her own. There’s no wound. ] What…?

[fluidgender]

[She slowly, in terror. Opens her eyes.] Huh...?

[She was just... desperately saying something she wanted to believe, but...

Was it actually true...?

She pokes the former wound of the princess.]

[hououji]

It’s… gone?

[fluidgender]

Fuu...

You healed yourself.

[hououji]

That can’t be the case. I’m the second born.

[fluidgender]

...Not anymore. I'm sorry.

[hououji]

I don’t… I don’t understand…

[fluidgender]

[...She gently takes Fuu's hands.] Your sister's powers... they're in you now.

[hououji]

But… I… [ Fuu is just staring at her with glassy eyes. ]

[fluidgender]

[In a later moment, Ranma might be able to express a complication emotion. About how awkward and uncomfortable it must feel to have the living reminder of your sister's death now in your hands. And how she wants to support Fuu no matter what.

But all she can think is that Fuu is alive.

Ranma's stoicism gives way and she just wraps Fuu in a giant, teary hug.]

[hououji]

Oh! [ Fuu is startled. No one outside her family has ever done anything like this. But she eases quickly, wrapping her harms around Ranma without question. ] … you must have been so frightened… things will be all right now.

[fluidgender]

Don’t ya go comforting me, dammit… [Squeezing her so tightly.]

[hououji]

Why shouldn’t I? You’re crying… [ She’s gonna have to pieces her own feelings later. ]

[fluidgender]

You gotta worry about yourself first… let other people take care of you.

[hououji]

I’m a princess. It’s not really how that works…

But could you help me up? I’m still feeling a bit weak. I’d like to return to the palace before my parents worry…

[fluidgender]

[Helping!! She pulls up Fuu by the hands, careful not to strain anything. Never know if there's a catch to these kinds of things...

But where... did that assassin go, she wonders...]

[hououji]

[Fuu is just mostly very weak. She's healed, but... that doesn't mean she hasn't bled out so much blood. When she's on her feet, she's still a bit wobbly, having to lean on Ranma.

She mumbles something about how it's rather inelegant of a princess to be like this in public...]

[fluidgender]

Then don't be a princess right now. Be Fuu.
