MD AU: Fractured Code Character Notes + Extras

Extras Chapter: Uninvited Guest

A/N: takes place after Chapter 58: Aftermath.

This chapter doesn't make sense. And I like it that way. Also, to the Nuzi shippers out there. I'm so sorry! This chapter is focused on Rin despite taking place in Uzi's wedding.

Also the Russian translations are definitely off. Idk how to fix that since google translates words literally and not contextually.

Rin's room.

Invitations for N and Uzi's wedding had been handed out to the drones closest to them. One of these invitations sat neatly on Rin's desk.

Rin herself was sprawled on her bed, quietly watching anime on her phone. She had been given a full week off duty to prepare for the event — something she definitely was not doing.

The soft whir of her door sliding open pulled her attention away from the screen. She glanced over lazily to see who had entered.

"Рин... Свадьба Узи через несколько дней. Ты вообще ходила покупать платье?" [Rin... Uzi's wedding is in a few days. Did you even go outside to buy a dress?] Doll stood in the doorway, hands on her hips, the posture of an older sibling ready to scold.

Rin paused her anime and sat up at the edge of the bed, setting her phone aside. "I still have the dress I wore at Sir A's wedding. I'm just—"

"Ни в коем случае. Вы же не наденете то же самое платье с совершенно другой свадьбы." [Absolutely not. You're not wearing the same dress from a completely different wedding.] Doll interrupted sharply. "Пойдем. Мы сейчас сходим в магазин и выберем тебе новое платье." [Come on. We're going to the store and picking a new dress for you."]

"Sister, I don't really wish to—"

Rin didn't get to finish. Doll flicked her wrist, the solver sigil glowing faintly at her finger. Rin's arm jerked upward as her older sister pulled her to her feet.

"Отлично! Поехали." [Great! Let's go.] Doll grabbed Rin by the wrist and started dragging her before she could protest further.

Rin stared at her sister with a quiet sigh — but did not resist. She simply allowed herself to be pulled along, letting Doll's enthusiasm overpower her own reluctance.

Rebellion Complex Mall.

The mall was blooming with activity, hundreds of worker drones wandering through the aisles and corridors, each busy with their own errands. The noise and movement washed over Doll and Rin the moment they stepped inside.

"Хорошо, Рин, мы купим тебе платье, в котором ты будешь выглядеть очаровательно на свадьбе, но не настолько очаровательно, чтобы затмить Узи." [Alright, Rin, we're going to get you a dress that'll make you look cute at the wedding — but not so cute that you outshine Uzi.] Doll said casually, already scanning the storefronts.

Rin glanced up at her older sister with a flat, disinterested stare. "Do I have to?" she asked, as if the mall itself were some unfamiliar, alien environment she was being forced to walk through.

"Да, вы правы. Ну же, давайте." [Yes, you do. Now come on.] Doll grinned, grabbing Rin's wrist before she could slink back into the crowd and dragging her toward a department store.

As Rin waited on a seat, Doll returned with arms stacked with dozens of dresses in every color and style imaginable.
