Vashti scoffed. "If I kill him then you're gone, right? Perfect."

Mary was crying. "I hate you!" she yelled. "I hate you all! I know that Gil and Roma don't want to do this! But you're letting your wives scare you into doing this?!"

Gil looked away and nodded. Roma scoffed and folded his arms. "If you had to live with them, you'd understand. You like Lincon--you don't cry every time he feeds that slimy snake do you? Or when he kills a boy who flirts with you?"

Mary wiped her eyes. "I do cry. I don't like it!"

"But you still stay with him," Roma said gently. "Out of love. You do what he says because you love him."

Mary had to admit that this was true. But Peter... He was gentle. He was kind. Was she falling for Lincon's 1p? She couldn't. She couldn't. Peter would go back to his world, and Mary would stay in this hell.

"We do this not because we agree," Roma finished. "But because our will is weak, and our love is strong."

Lincon wrapped his arms around Mary who burried her face, looking at Peter pleadingly.

"...What about Olie?" he asked, looking over his shoulder. "You don't have magic, do you, Vashti."

Persia scowled. "Who needs magic!"

Peter looked away, closing his eyes. He felt Layily moved under him and sighed gently.

I think I understand, now... Like Mister China's Yin and Yang: A little good in bad, and a little bad in good. I'm mostly good, but I am a little bad... Like how I treated Mister Germany... So Lincon is mostly bad, with some good, like how he treats Mary and me.

He thought this while riding on the shoulder of Iran, wondering about his fate.

But hey! he realized, his eyes opening suddenly. I'll be able to predict how people act, now! Opposites, right? And Yin/Yang! Missus Anahi was really nice, but had bad in her, since she loved to tease and play pranks. Deep down she loved everyone, though. So Vashti is mostly bad, with some good, and deep down she hates everyone?

He spared a look at the silver-haired girl holding Gil's hand and giving her granddaughter a piggy-back ride. All but her family, it looks like...

The quick boy settled in for his fate, secretly thanking his journey here. He still didn't like the 2ps, he was still scared of this world, but he understood why they were how they were. He was curious to meet everyone, now, and see how they all acted.

One that he was curious about was Kaliningrad, who was in her house with Siberia. Joseph was sitting, watching his wife dip and sway as she played her violin. It was calming, and gave a feeling of sadness, as if there was something missing. There were eerie parts to it which Joseph liked the best, but her playing calmed him down to the point of wanting to go to sleep.

"Beautiful, Kat," he praised quietly when she was finished. She blushed and tucked a lock of short hair behind her ear.

He came to her and wrapped his arms around her. "You truly are magnificent, did you know?"

She blushed again, setting the violin and bow down so it would not get crushed. She hummed with a smile, leaning against him.

"Oh, if only you could talk!" he lamented.

She chuckled, huming gently.

"Yes, yes, you can speak... But not like we do, Kat."

She sighed, leaning against him woefully.

"I know, you wish you could speak as well..." He gave her a squeeze before releasing her and taking her hand, guiding her upstairs. "Lets go to bed, hm? I hear that your sister has something cooked up for us to see~ I'm quite excited."

Kat nodded, smiling, but not with the emotion she knew her husband wanted. Gil had told her what had happened, and personally, she didn't like what that devil-woman had in store for the poor boy. But, she would  like to see her brother, so she slid into bed next to Joseph, the territory hugging her from behind and resting his hands on her swelling belly.

They'd have to think of names here very soon.
