I AM LOOKING FOR AN EASY PLACE TO MASK MY THOUGHTS BEHIND MY FACE!

— truthfully, he had only said that because he was worried about coming across too forward. he didn’t want to seem overly familiar or like he was trying to insert himself into her life, so the reaction he got caught him a bit off guard.
‘ it’s no problem… ’ he hoped that he wasn’t making her uncomfortable. he’d thought for sure that someone living in a bigger city like her would have plenty of friends… but that was ignorant of him to assume, especially when he considered his own experience back in tokyo. his mind briefly flashed back to the dead mouse left in his desk, and he suppressed a shudder.
why did shion live away from her family in the first place? he didn’t dare ask, but it seemed strange to him. he wondered if something happened that caused a rift… he returned back to the previous topic at hand to distract his thoughts.
‘ i can’t even imagine going to university, even though it’s really so close. i’ve gotten so used to living here already. honestly, i only have you guys too… ’
It was never too early to consider your options for schooling! You came to terms with that when you were sent away - you sifted through your options early. Once you came home and eventually were allowed to stay, you declared you wanted to be able to help people. You were already set on getting far away.
Away from it all - away from the Sonozaki heirarchy. Away from Oryo. Of course, you’d also abide by the limitations from the curse - you’d visit every chance you get. Settle in home. Appease some God you grew up believing. ( though, you found your faith wavering at times. and during those times, there’d be little creeps of thoughts - frightening you. even just a little. )
“ Then you can go somewhere close, “ You shrugged, kicking a pebble. “ It’d also help if you had a plan in mind - where you want to find yourself in life. I, for instance, have long since come to terms with the fact I’d have to go far away from home for what I want to do! But... I’ll manage. And you know what Kei-chan? “
You found yourself giving a gentle smile - one reserved for... for... ( what are you doing? )
“ I know you’ll manage, too. Home is where your heart is - you’ll have a home here, always welcome for you no matter how lonely you get in university! Sis’ll make sure of it. I’ll make sure of it. “

— he scrunched up his face in discomfort at the flick of his nose, rubbing it softly after the initial impact. shion seemed to be in good spirits now, definitely acting more like her usual self at least. he had a passing thought that maybe the heat had just gotten to her… but he knew that that probably wasn’t true. what wasn’t she telling him?
‘ ah, that seems really nice though! not having to worry about anyone else and just doing whatever you want. i’ve fantasized about living on my own before but they always end up with me eating ramen alone at 3 am. ’ he laughed but the more he thought about it, the more it actually seemed sad. her family had that huge estate and she lived on her own in a completely different town?
sounds like it would be kind of lonely…
he was starting to feel like he was prying into things that he shouldn’t. why was he doing this anyway? walking her to the bus stop or whatever the equivalent of home would be? despite his appearance it really was out of his way for him. nothing was forcing him to do this. he was worried about her, sure, but…
‘ you can call me if you ever feel lonely. even if it’s late… if you don’t have anyone else to talk to, i mean. i’m sure you have other friends. ’
“ It’s rough - I don’t suggest doing it until you’re, like... in university, or something! “ You COULD move in with your mom and dad - they’d welcome you with loving arms, after all. But you just kind of stayed put. A routine you had, you didn’t wish to break it. Especially after escaping St. Lucia. You cringed at the thought.
Part of you was afraid they’d send you back if you made your stay permanent. ( but you know they wouldn’t. they’d fight tooth and nail to keep you safe, so long as it’s not in the presence of oryo. ) You found yourself sighing. “ Ramen at three am... that doesn’t sound too horrible. I’d have to give it a try! “ Maybe.
You found yourself perking up a little at the offer - in that moment, you were more... vulnerable. His words bore into you. You didn’t really have any other friends, asides for the club and Mion. You found yourself picking at your nails - those nails. An impulse.
“ How sure are you? 90 percent? “ You quipped. You were outgoing, sure, but everyone in Okinomiya either were too formal with you, mistook you for Mion, or were just too boring for your own lifestyle. “ Because you’d be wrong. I really only have you guys, haha....ah... Thank you for the offer, Kei-chan. I’ll... be sure to keep that in mind. “
oh boy it’s time to talk abt how much thanks and hello make me sob fellas!!!!!!!
starts fucking crying. after the four character songs, and particularly after “Thanks,” satoshi was up. either he wakes up a year after matsuribayashi-hen, or two years. it’s vague about how many years had passed since satoshi was put in the hospital, but at the very Least it’s been 2 yrs. thanks hurts me because
satoshi woke uuuuup starts sobbing like a clown.
AND DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON KIMI WA DARE
i consider it a partner song to Thanks, since it’s kinda the same song? but told from Satoshi’s pov.
nobody touch me im feeling

that selfish part of you is telling you to grasp this chance . a night ? make it a year — two , maybe five . how much you want to leave this place , leave the burdens holding you down and be free from the constant torment . the villagers hate you , your aunt and uncle hate you , satoko is the one thing holding you down . she clings to your leg like the cuff to a chain that locks you to this place , never letting you stray too far , lest she cry and yank you back again .
you love your sister , of course , more than anything . though a bitter resentment has been building within you for a long while now . you wish you could say it wasn’t true , that you would gladly sacrifice your life for her . that no matter how much you were kicked and smacked around you would faithfully play the role of her shield without complaint , but …
‶ if i went at night i’d probably have to let auntie know , and i don’t think she’d approve … but going in the morning wouldn’t be much better . ″ you frown just slightly , trying to weigh what was the better option . if you woke up very early it’d probably be before satoko wakes up , so you’d have to let her know beforehand . but being alone all morning might be hard on her . after all , it wasn’t as if she had many friends to go hang out with … if you left at night then you could get in trouble , and if auntie got upset while you weren’t there then satoko would be the only one around .
you briefly consider sneaking out in the middle of the night , not letting anyone know . at least you’d be able to get out of hinamizawa for a while . besides , it’s not as if you’ve had many comfortable , sleep - filled nights regardless . it’s always standing over your bed , looking down on you , keeping you awake at night . no , no , don’t think about that —
‶ i don’t really know if i can … ″
Well... at least he answered. And you couldn’t hide the obvious sulk as fast as you’d like. You found your eyes flickering just softly - the Mion persona breaking for juuuust a moment. And then you let out a huff.
It wasn’t that big of a deal. At least you didn’t want it to be. But... you offered a smile. It was kind of forced - a new attempt to force the Mion in you out. ( you hated it. you hated pretending to everyone. you liked lying, but not to this degree. but for your and her safety, you had to. it wasn’t fair, why didn’t you let her go to the amusement park that day- ) You snapped yourself out of your thoughts.
“ Well... we still have a few weeks to figure it out! “ A remedy of the situation. You offered a grin - your own. Not Mion’s. Shion’s. A few weeks to figure out how to sneak him out for just a momentary reprieve. ( you hadn’t realized how desperate you were for the outside world until now. ) You tilted your head.
“ Unless you have a suggestion. “

— keiichi made a noise of agreement. it had been a very long day, and the prospect of facing his parents was still something that he had to deal with at some point. best to keep moving.
‘ after you, sonozaki shion ~ i’ll have you know i’m taking this escort business extremely serious. nothings gonna mess with you as long as i’m around! not even the crows are safe. ’ he set a fist against his chest as if making a pledge, as if anyone was fooled that this wasn’t just a way for him to procrastinate the inevitable. although, despite the back and forth, he couldn’t say that this wasn’t time well spent.
he began to walk with her again in what he vaguely remembered as the direction of the bus stop. did she walk this way alone all the time? he walked home with rena and mion most of the time and she’d never come along before… the thought made him kind of sad.
‘ so what’s your place in okinomiya like? i bet it’s super nice, taking the sonozaki estate into account. although my parents have a big house and we’re only just about well off if i’m being honest. half of it is just dedicated to my dad’s art gallery… ’
“ Before you, Maebara Keiichi, “ You quipped, taking a step ahead of him. You... truthfully didn’t want to even LOOK at him. You could feel your chest bubbling in thought, and you furrowed your brows when you faced away from him. For a moment, you turned around and gave him a soft flick on the nose.
He... looked similar... Maybe Mion suggested this to torture you, and Rena didn’t understand the ramifications. Maybe. Maybe. You wanted to believe your sister to be innocent though. A shake of your head.
“ I just have a little apartment, “ You spoke. “ It’s nothing... huge. Or fancy. It just... exists! I live by myself, though. “ That would be a little shocking to hear. But it was you. Out of the two Sonozaki sisters, you found yourself to be the more independent of thw two. ( after all, mion seemed to be heavily reliant on oryo. sheesh. ) “ Though... sometimes I stay with my parents. Mom and Dad’s house is a little nice nice. “ Perhaps... you’d be staying there tonight. Sometimes, your brain was impossible to handle alone.
speaking of the good end verse i should. probably write out the differences between their good end verse and their normal adult verse
*puts in my good end shion verse tht shion gets a small demon tattoo on the back of their neck 2 symbolize them being the rightful heir to the sonozaki house but has it there specifically so it can be a widdle secret* it’s free real estate
also. heres my only ref img of good end shion
the tragedy of changing my tags; now i need 2 remake my post where i elaborate the major timelines of higurashi; namely regarding the twins’ age, and meakashi-hen.
in onikakushi-hen, keiichi basically says smth akin to “mion’s gonna be going off to college soon, which is gonna make ME the class rep. oh no. oh fuck.” i forget which arc establishes that shion and mion r ~14/15, but i know it’s not kizuna/matsuri, but i know if they’re supposedly going off to college very soon, it’d place them at around ~16/17, which i believe is established as such in matsuri. that’s more of an acceptable age range, especially considering where shion works (though since their uncle’s also a creep, i wouldn’t put it past him to hire them at 13 at a cafe like angel mort. but i don’t think shion would’ve taken the job at 13, regardless if they were desperate for work or not because of the sheer fact if akane and shion’s dad caught wind of them working there, he’d very likely be a dead man. i think he’d be a dead man regardless, but at 16/17, shion can hold their own better than they would at 13. doesn’t justify them working in a place like that, but like i said. regardless i think their uncle’s basically a dead man walking for hiring a kid in his cafe).
meakashi-hen’s first half/the year before higurashi’s timeline starts is a lot more...weird. since it’s established shion met satoshi around late may/early june, but the way shion catches their feelings, it’s very headfirst and fast. and they act like they knew him forever by the time he disappeared. however, i think the timeline for that time period would make a lot more sense if shion had ran away around december/january. with a solid 6-7 months to get to know satoshi and get closer to him, it’s easier to understand why they were hurt, since by the time he disappeared if we go by what the games tell us, they’d only be barely acquaintences by the time satoshi disappeared.
higurashi’s timeline is fucked up and contradictory to even itself.
i hope u all know im working on my yoigoshi-hen icons. nobody’s safe from mama shion

‶ a break … ? ″ mion was certainly a nice person , you try not to doubt that ( though many unwanted thoughts have been worming their way into your mind ) , but did this not seem slightly out of character for her ? of course , you don’t think on it too hard , there’s no reason for you to overthink things like that . no , there’s something else that has caught your attention .
a break from hinamizawa . that very phrasing makes an offer you might’ve declined to one you may consider . you fear staying away for too long — no , not fear . you treasure the very idea of being able to get out of this place . what you fear is not leaving , but the guilt that accompanies it . after all , without you around , who would protect satoko ? are you truly such a horrid brother that you would leave your little sister to the wrath of your aunt , unable to protect herself ?
‶ muu … well , that does sound nice , but … ″ your heart clenches , averting your gaze . you suppose a short trip wouldn’t hurt . you could entertain this idea , right ? there’s nothing wrong with asking . ‶ by a trip , how long do you mean ? i … can’t be away for too long . ″
If St. Lucia taught you anything, it was how to read the little features in people’s faces. To note the ways their faces could crease - the way their lips would pull. It was hard to judge by voices there, you had to figure out a way to read people. However, perhaps that was your own innane talents. ( you and mion were similar enough to know how to play around others’ moods, after all. )
Desperately, you wanted to squeeze his hand - an assurance. It was okay to spoil yourself every now and then! Sometimes people get greedy - you know this very well. ( were you so greedy you’d force your own sister out of her day to day life to form your own bonds? ...well. in this case, yes. )
“ Depends on the time of day we leave. If we leave before the crack of dawn, we could be back a few hours after lunch at the latest, “ Your voice hummed softly. “ But... We could always make it a rendezvous for the night. I think the petals would look so pretty in the moonlight! Bah - sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself! “ You found yourself smiling. There was always something romantic in the literature you had to read for school involving the moon. The beauty of it.
“ But it won’t be ALL day. I can promise you that! “ You.... disliked Satoko - but in a way, you were like her. Satoshi had to fix her mistakes, from what Mion told you / Mion had to fix your mistakes, too. Something was telling you not to leave her alone for long.
shokogun:
the sound of your friend’s voice causes a soft smile to appear on your face . throughout all your hardships , at least you still had your friends to relieve some of that stress . while you may feel some contempt towards the sonozaki family , you knew it wasn’t mion’s ( ? ) fault directly . just as you did not choose to be a hojo , she did not choose to be a sonozaki .
you turn towards shion , curious . ‶ of course , what is it , mion ? ″
( you’d be lying if you said you didn’t wish to rip out the hair tie - to show who you were. but... he technically wasn’t wrong in calling you mion. ) Your fingers were playing with the threads of the vest you were wearing, and you let out a soft hum. Mion never lied about him - that he puts others above himself. Maybe that’s why you found yourself liking him. He almost mirrored you - your own selfish desires fit almost perfectly with his own selflessness. Like the sun and the moon.
“ Weeell... As you know, Spring’s rearing its lazy little head finally, “ Your words were saccarine, but with a bitter aftertaste. Just like Mion’s. But you’d give a taste of yourself - of Shion, rather than Mion for once. “ And as you know, the cherry blossoms are gonna be blooming in a few weeks! So... I was wondering if you’d like to come with me on a trip to see them! A little... break, from the monotony of Hinamizawa, after all, is always kind. “ Maybe... you let out a little too much of yourself.
