Second Step --> Video (Backdated to the morning of the 25th)

[falseshore]

[Some people look good when they wake up. This Replica is not one of them, shown in this video with half of his hair sticking up at odd angles, but he either doesn't notice or doesn't care either way.]

I don't really get this 'Christmas' thing, but I'm assuming it's the reason my eggs have multiplied themselves.

[He turns the camera away from his face to show three Pokémon eggs sitting on top of his backpack.]

I know why one of them is there, but the other two just appeared this morni--Hey, careful with those, Nami!

[A Hoothoot has just hopped onto the backpack, jostling the eggs, and he drops the Gear on the bed to make sure she doesn't harm them.]

Evan. And you are?

I'm Hikari. It's nice to meet you, Evan.

So... is Riku your brother?

[falseshore]

...N--Yes. Older...brother.

[Maybe if he says that enough, he'll start to believe it too!]

[chosen_light_child]

I see!

Well, it's nice to have your older brother here. Mine was here for a bit a couple of times, but this place never kept him long. He's been here for a while though, he must be pretty happy to see you, isn't he?

[falseshore]

He was surprised...I'm not really sure how happy he was.

[Riku wasn't unhappy...he's not sure what Riku thought of him, really.]

[chosen_light_child]

... Yeah, I guess telling if Riku was happy might be a bit difficult. He doesn't seem to be open with his feelings all that much.

[Though it's weird that Riku's brother wouldn't be able to tell how Riku felt...]
