Can't Sleep.

Instead of a normal text messaged post, you find a video recording for a message.

Char: *sighs while looking up at phone screen*

Eve: *Opens one eye, looking at Char* Something wrong?

Char: *Nearly drops his phone on his face as he fumbles with it* Woah, Eve. I didn't know you were still awake...

Eve: Well, I was...plus that phone light's kinda distracting.

Char: Sorry...I couldn't sleep so I wanted to see if I could get a post written out, and thought that might help.

Eve: *Snickers* Okay, who are you, and what did you do with my brother? First off, my brother doesn't think.

Char: Gee, thanks -_-

Eve: Second, he never has problems with sleeping.

Char: Says the person who wakes me every morning with an ice blast.

Eve: And third, he's never depressed about anything.

Char: How did you-

Eve: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I just know...plus, every sassy comment, that kinda gave it away.

Char: *Facepalms* Okay, y'got me... So, what now?

Eve: Now you spill. What's been bothering my brother that he thinks I can't help with?

Char: Fine... For starters, I want Dad back... and I don't mean what we have laying on the mattress over there.

Eve: I don't follow.

Char: Well, y'know how things were? Back before all...this?

Eve: *sits up and nods*

Char: It was you, me, Mom, and Dad. We knew who they were, we loved them with every ounce of our hearts. And they loved us... I know you cried at the time, even if you weren't there, and I did too while I sat there, at a do-it-yourself funeral, alone... I was convinced they were gone... Yet, the difference being with you, I knew you were out there somewhere. I just had to look, even if I missed five of your birthdays. That connection we had with him, I just.... *warm tears roll down Char's cheeks, but he wipes them away* This was supposed to be a way to try and reconnect, but it doesn't seem to be working. He's not the Dad we used to know... Now, he's just Coal Tsumi...

Eve: *has gotten up from her bed and hugs Char, who gladly accepts* One thing's certain, our family's terrible at naming the boys.

Char: *starts to quietly laugh* Yeah, we ar-wait....0-0 *looks over to his phone* Arceus! Have I been streaming this whole thing?!

Eve: Why'd you do that, stupid!?

Char: I didn't even know there was a stream bu-

The video ends there, but not before catching a picture of Eve and uploading it.
