Rin's POV

As I lie in bed, I am really coming to terms with how royally fucked I am right now. I need to think of something to fix everything. Something that can make everything go back to the way it was before.

Before I can do that, I need to focus on more immediate problems.

Everyone adjourned for the night. Len wasn't fond of having to let go, even if it is only for a few hours, but they let me go after I said I was tired. I've come to realise that most of the original Vocaloids realized I am hiding something. I knew my emotion slip from seeing the kiss was going to bite me in the ass. Miku, Luka, Meiko, and even Lily seemed like they wanted to just ask me what was wrong. The only one of us originals that didn't seem to be worried was Len.

He was too busy squeezing the life out of me.

Tho in all fairness, I was squeezing them back. I forced myself to relax and have a good time. It was the first time seeing everyone in a long time. I really am happy to see everyone again. I didn't even really want to go to bed yet, I wanted to stay up with them.

But I have a problem I need to think about. Multiple actually. But in order to start thinking of a solution, I need to choose something important.

What am I working toward?

I honestly want Cramone and Miku to be together. But I would feel bad for Leon if they did, he really seems to like Miku. Hell, Miku seems to like him. But I know that whatever she feels for Leon is nothing compared to what she feels toward Cramone. But she moved on, because he is dead.

Well, for all she knows he is.

So what do I do? Do I break up Miku and Leon? Do I tell Cramone and hope he doesn't actually come back? Wait, no, that isn't an option. Now that I know he is alive I want my big brother back.

I need him back.

*ding*

I crane my head towards a terminal on my desk. Because we are in a digital world, we have access to internet based services (as long as the world is connected to the internet that is, which we are). I see the blinking email icon on the screen. Oh well.

A distraction is needed right now.

I get up and walk over. Opening up my email brings some new stress. The email is from Cramone. What could he want? Could he have figured it out? No, that is impossible. This was only just made a thing. With that in mind, I open it.

"Who is Leon?

-Cramone"

How

The

Fuck

Does

He

Know

?

All is not lost yet. He might not actually know. Maybe he is researching the new additions to the family since he is coming back?

But then why ask about only Leon?

This is bad. As I am boiling in my own sweat, another ding calls my attention back to the screen. Another email from him. A few pictures this time.

It is of Miku and Leon on their date. Some of them walking around, some of them hanging out, one of them eating, and one last one that really screws everything. It is of them both. Kissing.

How did he get these? Where did these pictures come from? Judging from the background and people around them, they were taken the real world. There are some cosplayers in the background, so maybe they visited this year's comic-con for their date. Our concert isn't till the last day, so it is actually in full swing right now.

That would make sense, and is kind of smart. They are close by in case of emergencies, they can blend in without having to change to a civilian form, and they can do several different date activities all in one place. Honestly, it was a sound idea.

But that date is now causing me even more problems. There are signs to point to that being the real Miku, as Cramone doesn't yet know Leon. Cosplayers can get a lot of the details down, and can have perfect costumes, but they can perfectly copy Miku. A human cannot change their shape to match someone else after all. Knowing that, looking at things like the shape of the face, height, and skin tone (just to name a few) can lead someone to the fact that that is the real Miku. of course, you would have to had seen them a lot and rather intimately in order to memorize and remember these details.

And of course, who has been closer to Miku than Cramone. Of course he would pick up on it.

Do I come clean right now? Do I lie and say that isn't her, even though I doubt he'd believe that? I can also lie and say that it was a show they put on…

But do I really want to lie to him?

I can't decide on the correct course of action. Everything I can come up with leads to someone being hurt.

I don't want that.

I would've been somewhat okay with Leon being heartbroken, but I would've still felt bad. But That option might not be possible now. For that to have happened, Cameron would have to be blind to the fact that Miku moved on.

Something that he now isn't. Knowing him from before the accident and from this last little while I have spent with him I can already tell that he will back off and not come back. So that Miku can be happy. So that she won't be hurt.

I know that is what his plan now is. Even if I deny what he saw. Is it better that way? Yeah, it will suck, but there won't be any extreme drama. The only ones that it would hurt would be me and Cramone.

Maybe I could stay with him instead. That way he can let Miku move on and sacrifice his own happiness, which I know the bastard is going to do anyways, and he can still have someone to cheer him up. But how would I get the others to let me stay?

Stop getting distracted Rin. You need to deal with this. Cramone is most likely already has his next plans set in stone. Lying to him would only make things worse. I need to tell him everything. This will be a tough conversation. It will hurt.

The least I can do is tell him face to face.
