[So, what comes up on the network isn't actually any words, but a picture. A big, obnoxious picture, with some text superimposed upon it. The picture is then followed by several others, all depicting a similar theme, and similar motif:]

[Following the pictures is a morose-reading text from a certain magician.]

To think, after two whole years apart, my own sister refuses to acknowledge me! I simply wished to spend time with my dear sister! Oh, the humanity..! My dear sister, if you can see this, please reconsider your cruel and coldhearted decision! Your brother misses you so!

[Sure he may have been a little overbearing with her, checking in on her a bit more than was necessary, but he had missed her! Being blocked on the Shellphones was hardly fair, in Lyney's humble opinion! He clearly didn't do a single thing wrong!]

[...Okay no he may have been quite annoying and irritating to his introverted sister and pushed her to block him because of his overbearing-ness, but like hell is he admitting that.]

And it never occurred to you to respect her desires?

Granted, I know she is your sister, but I will assume she is also her own woman.

But it's been so long since I've seen her last!

You see, I've been in this world for almost two years now, but Lynette only arrived here within the last two months. I just want to make up for lost time.

That's understandable. Truly, I do get it. I was separated from someone very important to me for a great number of years.

However, there is such a thing as being overbearing. Perhaps she needs a little space to settle in first?

Well, yes, that's true. She is her own woman, and isn't nearly as outgoing as I am.

But I thought I had given her plenty of time to settle! And surely she wouldn't mind being checked in on once in a while, right? Especially with every thing that's been going on!

[Him? Overbearing? Naaaah....]

How often is "once in a while" for you?

[How he answers this question will tell Jill all she's ever needed to know.]

Merely a scant handful of times! It wasn't to an alarming rate!!

And besides, I only started messaging more when she started to stop replying back.

A scant handful is still a handful. Especially if they happened one after the other.

[She noticed that he didn't say a number. Clearly too many times.]

And it didn't occur to you to check in on her physically then?

Oh, it certainly did! However, Lynette is quite like a cat in more ways than one; if she doesn't want to be found, she won't be found no matter how hard you look! It's quite a talent of hers, for better or worse.

[Read: She absolutely ghosted him both metaphorically and physically.]

And much like a cat, perhaps you should let her come to you. I know for a fact my own cat dislikes when I force attention on her. She's far more amiable when give her time to do it on her own.

[Bro, take the hint. Stop harassing her!]

[S I G H.... Unfortunately, he knows she's right, even if he doesn't want to fully admit it.]

I suppose you have a point. I guess I will have to wait until she has deigned me punished enough to talk to me once again! The weight will be unbearable, but I will endure for her!

And please don't be so dramatic when she does eventually come to you. You may just chase her off again.

[Is Jill asking the impossible from him?]

You ask a lot of me!

But perhaps a more candid approach would be best for now. As you said, I wouldn't want to chase Lynette off again so soon!

I feel like someone has to. If not your sister, then somebody else with her best interests at heart.

I wish you luck in your endeavors. Truly.

[He wants to argue that he does indeed have her best interests at heart, really! But honestly he'd probably be digging a bigger hole for himself by doing so.]

Thank you, truly. Perhaps I can stop by the bakery to pick up some desserts for her as an apology while I wait.

Or I could give you some free of charge. Save your doubloons for a rainy day.

[Boy, she's got so many cakes that need good homes...]

For free?

Are you sure? I couldn't take advantage of your kindness like that!
