Boboiboy didn't say anything for the whole duration of their flight back home.
And when they arrived in TAPOPS, he didn't stay to report to Commander Koko Ci. He went straight to his room and locked it from the rest of them, even from Ochobot and Gopal.
Tanah let him do so. Ochobot, too, who went over to Tanah solemnly but offered no protest.
Gopal didn't protest, too, swiftly turning to Fang to ask if he could stay with the other teen for as long as Boboiboy holes himself up in there.
Ying's shoulders sagged, sighing. Boboiboy's reaction was the same in the old timeline--except it happened a lot sooner now, this time around.
They all found out about Lapidemsibilus' broken state early, this time around. Perhaps that's to be expected.
There were changes, though. The mood of the team was a bit lighter this time. Emphasis on bit since...you know, but at least they're not too traumatized and acting like there's something to hide now.
Cahaya, especially, seems to be bonding with the ghost in his head. Daun helps a lot with that.
Though hearing in on them is a little strange...
"I can't--I can't believe you! What I do is very important--what do you mean I'm just playing with colored water!?"
"Cahaya, um. Don't fight a child, please?"
"Daun, normally I'd agree that I should be the mature one, but this little brat is still going on like this ever since we left the planet! She's getting on my nerves! On purpose!"
It was funny, though. Ying wished she could hear what Thyris was saying, so she'd have context.
Pfft. Ying bets it'll be hilarious.
Meanwhile, Tanah went to report to Commander Koko Ci with Fang from the very moment they finished cleaning themselves up.
She doesn't know what Commander Koko Ci's reaction to the general craziness that just happened, but she's betting on being called over to discuss all of this. Maybe get yelled at, too, for being reckless or something.
Regardless, she saw Fang sometime later, taking care of an errand with a few other TAPOPS members. Tanah was nowhere to be found.
The time manipulator recalls that Zuteus came with them, to make sure the mirror won't get a single scratch and discuss the safest way to extract the power of Lapidemsibilus from his sister's body with those in charge of the equipment. Maybe Tanah was with him, right now.
Haah. So far, the changes are Zuteus meeting them all early, and...Ying guesses Thyris' continued existence, too. She doesn't know the full details, but she guesses that the reason why her team was acting strange for a time in the old timeline was that Cahaya touched the mirror and--yeah. At least now, they managed to save Thyris.
This is a good thing, then! Thank goodness...
Still, there are other problems.
Api and Petir are still pretending that each other doesn't exist, which--seriously, guys? Though that meant there was no fighting, and no burning the station down, so Ying would have to take it.
Meanwhile, Yaya is itching to make the chocolate-caramel cake. Ying doesn't know what to feel about that.
"I'm sure Boboiboy will feel better when I make it!", said the pink-wearing girl, huffing as she impatiently walked in circles in the middle of the cafeteria. "I should try making it on my own. Maybe I'll get it on my first try?"
