Over the course of 2 days, Test Tube tried her best to revive all the others. Some were easier to piece back together, others were nearly impossible. Thankfully, she got all 4 of them back to working as normal as possible. Obviously, there were some mishaps with some of them, but they're all practically the same as they were before. Physically, at least. Right?

That was the case for all but 2.

Everyone was in the lobby, excited about all of the deceased coming back to life. Fan was trying to interview Balloon, Knife and Paper were hanging out in the corner together, Pepper and Bomb were talking about their lives, etc.

Meanwhile, outside the hotel, Yin and Yang sat together. They had to be separated to stay alive, since the gash was too deep when they were together. It felt weird. Sure, they'd always been together in a way, but they've only been like this once before now. It was.. odd.

"Yin. Hey, Yin."
Yang gently shook Yin's shoulder, trying to get his attention the best he could. After a while of silence, he grabbed Yin's arm and shook that instead.
"Yiiiin."

Yin took his arm away from him, confused.
"What do you want?"

"You looked like you were thinking about it again."

"About what? What OJ did? I don't care about him anymore! He was just.. tired that day."

Yang looked at him, somewhat angry.
"I wasn't talking about him. I never WILL talk about him. I already told you, I don't want to hear his name."

"Whatever, can you at least just tell me what you were talking about?"

"You looked like you were thinking about her again. You know that she's kinda crazy now, but you still want to talk to her. If she can't save herself from that guy, she's just stupid and- and weak!"
He crossed his arms.

"..So we're stupid and weak?"

"You? Probably. Me? No. I wanted to hurt him, you know that. You just- You didn't.. let me."
He sounded genuinely disappointed, turning away.

Yin gave a small smirk.
"Whatever happened to 'I never will talk about him'?"

"YOU- Ugh. You know what I meant!"

"Sure.."
He rested himself against the wall of the hotel, slightly tired.
"Hey, do you think.. any of the others missed us?"

Yang kept quiet for a moment, both caught off guard by the question and needing to consider their options.
"I think Cherries missed us. Even if only a little. He's never really been the type, though, so who knows."

"Well, I think Cabby might've missed us! She's always been a great friend!"

"Ohh, good point!! Though, nobody knows where she went."

"I heard that she died after season 3 ended. A murder, they assumed. Seems like a lie, though."

"I'd believe it if it were Test Tube's fault. There's no proof that Cabby's even dead yet, so maybe she went with Clover on that trip?"

"Would she??"

"It makes a lot of sense 'cuz her and Clover were nearly besties. Plus, Cabby was always very interested in Clover's luck, maybe she wanted to study her."

Yin looked at the ground for a moment, pondering.
"I, uhm.. I hope you're right. I really hope she's okay.."

They both stayed quiet for a while after that, not really knowing how to change the subject. Neither one of them felt like they really NEEDED to talk, anyways. They could always tell what the other was thinking and feeling, no word required.

Yang put an arm around Yin, pulling him into a short hug.
"Hey. I bet she's fine. Anyway, do you wanna go back in and, I dunno.. talk to Tissues or something? I bet she's just dying to see us again."

"Pfft- Not funny!"

"Made you laugh though, didn't it?"

"Shut uppp!"

Yin playfully pushed Yang off of him, giggling. The latter stood up, stretching and pulling his brother up, holding his hand and leading them both back inside.
