[Mecchan's sniffles and whimpers can be heard from nearby. Rinku comes out of a huge blanket fort with him clinging to her and Leon's little head sticking out of her hood, wearing multiple layers and looking very tired.]

Neechan?

[She walks over to her and hugs gently, letting Mecchan snuggle on the both of them.]

[The warmest possible hug!!]

I've got you. How did you run out of magic?

[Slow sigh of relief. She needed this more than she realized.]

When we got home, the sickness was going around, so I made a bunch of care packages and I was delivering them all over town, then whenever I saw someone who needed help, I stuck around them and warmed them up, and I went on a bunch of ingredient quests, or I guess just a few but it felt like a bunch, and it was fine with Chipp-san since we turned it into a camping trip overnight, but when I got back Mary-chan and the Pokémon were so cold and the only warm-blooded one is Hina-chan and she's so small, so I gave them a bunch of warmth, and then I went out and did all the same stuff, but when Hijikata-san and I came back from the desert and we were gonna just take the flowers but then he was all "no we gotta get the whole cactus just to be safe and maybe we can get Spring people to grow it for infinite flowers" but anyway I tried to recharge my Travel Crystal after that but I didn't have enough energy and then I walked home and just kinda flopped in the pile with everyone.

You've been pushing yourself too hard. [Squeeeeeze.] Take a break for a while.

[Huuuuug. She snuggles on Evangeline and the lizard crew (who seem very grateful for the warmth).]

Sorry, Neechan. I just kinda got carried away 'cause I didn't want anyone to be cold or sick or hurting.

It's good to help people, but it's also important that you aren't cold or hurting.

I kinda forgot about that...

[Her tail droops, and she leans on Evangeline.]

I was gonna try and make something warm, but I got tired and didn't wanna cook.

[Mary had been napping in the blanket fort- it was the best way to keep warm, under the current circumstances! Even so... she was still shivering.

But the warmth Evangeline brought into the room eased the feeling a little.

It was then she recognised the sound of her voice- and Rinku's- nearby. So Rinku called Evangeline here...

...

...Yeah the cold little bundle of blankets is gonna go over and latch onto them too.]

[Oh no, poor girls... Evangeline puts one arm around Mary and the other around Rinku, amping up her warmth.]

I can't really blame you. I could cook something for you guys, but I'd have to stop hugging you to do it.

That's okay. We can eat later, right?

[Rinku snuggles. Leon crawls from her hood onto Evangeline's shoulder and rests there.]

Aww, he likes you... Do you wanna come into the blanket fort? There's room for everyone.

[She squeezes Mary gently.]

...not hungry. Don't go.

[Warmth very much appreciated! As was the comfort and reassurance of having her sisters nice and close- they'd need to eat eventually, yes, but she didn't want Evangeline to let go.

At Rinku's suggestion, she'll give a little tug over to encourage them over to the blanket fort. Her dolls were already there, whilst her two Pokémon were with her canvas upstairs.]

Alright, heard you loud and clear. Blanket fort sounds good. [She shuffles in that direction, unwilling to let go of her sisters for a second but also ready to get somewhere more comfy.]

[Rinku pulls them all into the blanket fort. Inside are a bunch more blankets and almost every pillow in the house... and the giant monkey plush Sonic got Rinku for her birthday, which is serving as the central pillar for this fort monstrosity.

And also Hina, who is currently hanging upside down from the monkey's ear and napping.

There are also some empty snack packets, which Rinku resolved to throw out at one point but forgot about because they're so cold it's hard to keep anything else on the mind. Rinku clears those to the side and sits down to cuddle with the others.]

Thanks for coming, Neechan. We really needed you. Look, Leon-kun's getting comfortable!

[Leon has settled on Evangeline's shoulder and is turning the blue of her EGO suit.]

I guess you're right, I did do too much.
