Cringe Chill: Fully Functional

Holy Chamber

You

Huh? What's this?

Youngchun

Oh, it looks like a letter. Ner must've left it there for you.

*Rustle*

You

Let's see here... "Dear Master"... Who's this from? Oh, it looks like it's from Rim.

Rim's House

Rim

"Dear Master, I apologize for this urgent letter.

However, I have a bit of a problem.

After thinking of what to do, I realized that you might be able to offer me some assistance. Hence, the letter.

From, In Need of a 'Rim'-edy."

Holy Chamber

*Crumple*

You

.........

Youngchun

Wow... I just got chills from how bad that was...

You

...Do you think I really need to go and see what she needs help with? Maybe I don't really need to go personally...

Youngchun

I get it, but she did ask for help, so I think you should at least go and see what it's about...

You'll be okay by yourself, right? You got this, Master!

You

Hey! Youngchun! Where the heck do you think you're going, you little wad of gum?! Are you really gonna have me go by myself?! Seriously?!

Youngchuuun! Let's go togetherrr!

Remote House on the Hill

*Knock, knock!*

You

Rim? You home? I guess not... Okay, I tried—

Rim

Hello, Master. I've been waiting for you.

...And "Rim"-inding myself of—

You

E-Enough!

Rim

S-Sorry... Please, come in.

Rim's House

You

So, what's the emergency that made you write me a letter?

Rim

*Sigh* Please have a look at this.

Rim moves her shoulder a little.

You

Huh?

Rim

I knew you'd be able to see it, Master...

You

H-Huh?

Next to Rim was a tiny version of her dressed in party attire.

Rim

After this smaller version of myself appeared, I visited a number of other phantoms.

However, no one else could see this mini-me.

That's when I thought that just maybe... you might know what this smaller version of me truly is.

I thought a real "Rim"-ergency had occurred—

You

Okay, okay, stop... It really gives me the chills...

Rim

S-Sorry... It's just habit...

I explain to Rim about Yearnings.

Rim listens as she quietly sips her tea. Then, she gives a faint smile.

Rim

I see... A manifestation of my desires, huh...?

That explains why only you can see it, Master.

You

You're taking that surprisingly well...

Rim

Hehe, well, of course. I mean, it's a different version of myself.

There are many times when I've wished that I had a lot more friends than I do now.

But... simply wishing for that isn't enough, is it?

You

Oh no, Rim's feeling down. I should cheer her up.

Still... you've made quite a bit of new friends lately, haven't you?

You even send me letters now, too...

Rim

I suppose I need to make more of an effort.

You

Huh? More of an effort?

Rim

Yes. To throw a party... and make more friends.

I've been practicing my secret technique. Would you like to hear it?

You

U-Uh... No, I'm good...

Rim picks up one of the apples from the table.

You

What's with the apple all of a sudden, Rim?

*Crunch* Rim takes a bite of the apple and holds it out.

Rim

A pineapple.

You

...Sorry?

Rim

An apple this fine is a fine apple... fineapple... pineapple...

You

.........

Rim

...No?

I wanted to comfort her, but I couldn't handle the chill from that lame joke, so all I could do was huddle into a ball.

Yeah... the day Rim's dream comes true is still a long, long way off...

While the Rim of her Yearning sparkles in her party dress, the real Rim remains gloomier than ever.
