here's an uncolored wip~ (in which we learn that shorter hair Maki is essentially little Kei lol)

Another comic on these twins...

Yep. Good luck, Papatoshi and Mamatari~ 😅😅

[blueberrytwins]

Tou: Hey. Where do you think Dad is right now?

Maki: Dunno...

Tou: Aren't you curious?

Maki: ... well it's not like we can do anything if he doesn't wanna show up or reply.

Tou: ... what if we can? Hang on lemme whip up something.

*a few moments later*

Tou: tada~

Maki: What exactly am I looking at?

Tou: Art. 😁

--- in about three days, the boys receive a call from their dad.

Tou: Hey, Dad! Thought your phone broke or something~

Satoshi: You two...

Dad sent a photo.

Satoshi: What exactly am I looking at?

Tou: Ooh. So my artwork reached you, huh. (to Maki: you sound just like him lol.) You're just somewhere around the city?

Satoshi: Tou, why did you-- *sigh* Wait--this thing is all around the city?

Tou: Thing?? That's an original Hikari, dad.

Maki: Well technically, not, cuz it's from the internet.

Tou: Right, right. That's my own rendition of a certain.. contemporary art piece, Dad.

Satoshi: Take them all down, you two. I can ground you even when I'm not home.

Maki: Ugh how is that fair?

Tou: Fine fine. But... when are you coming back?

Satoshi: *sigh*... give me a few more days.

Tou: Eh. Even months are made of days, dad. *sigh* Anyway, thanks for letting us know you're alive, old man.

//in which y'all learn a crazy lady is running this page//

Part II of this comic because we can't leave Tou out!

[blueberrytwins]

Which one of your ancestors do you want to see the most? If there's none: which one would you tolerate the most for a chat?

Tou: Well on instinct, I'd say I don't wanna meet any of them, but if you think about it, some of them are pretty... cool, no?

Maki: Or just plain mad.

Tou: Yeah! But still... I mean, don't you wanna ask the one who made Insomnia if he knew there was gonna be a whole frickin world inside his mirror?

Maki: Hmm.. well I'd be fine to chat with the one who made Argentine. Or whichever one of 'em woke up and thought it was a great day to make a giant golden bunny.

Tou: Oh yeah! hahaha! That person's gotta be the only one who's crazier than the OG ancestor! Except they must be a lot of fun!

Maki: But the question says we gotta pick one...

Tou: Oh yeah... if we had to choose just one... then...

The twins pause, not because they're trying to make up their minds, but because it's already been made up and they just couldn't say their one true answer out loud. They glance at each other at the same time as if by some instinctive or automatic connection, as if to find support or lend it, then they let out a resigned sigh.

Both: Grandma Rio...

Scale of 1-10, how cool, handsome, dashing, muscular, and stylish is Dark? (What about Krad?)

Tou: Dark, huh? If we're going by Daiya--

Maki: We can't go by Daiya.

Tou: Well. (Daiya, brother we love you, but you're wayy too biased). If we're being objective about it, Dark is supposedly the ultimate Hikari masterpiece so I guess he still gets a 10 on everything? Also, he supposedly saved our old man when he was a kid, so... double points, I guess?

Maki: Can we dock points from "Stylish"?

Tou: Errmm--nah that's subjective.

Maki: 8.5 on Stylish.

Tou: Hah, fine. Perfect 10, but he needs to tone it down with the leather. Krad on the other hand--

Maki: Well Krad is sh*t. He's a fu--

Tou grabs Maki and covers his mouth: Woop! Chill! We oughta keep this page safe for work hehe. Give us a moment folks~

Aside, in hushed tones:

Maki: I was only telling the truth.

Tou: Well yeah, I hate him too, but language! I'll handle it!

Tou comes back with that polite smile on his face and clears his throat: Right, sorry about that. To summarize our very subjective views on Krad, he's an over-glorified murderous wool rug that's not even worthy of mopping our floor. With gold-leaf trimmings. ☺️ Oh, a score? Right, well no, not a zero--

Maki: Numerically, that's an infinity to the negatives.

Tou: Yup. What he said. ☺️

When a monster reaches out from another world, who gets pulled in? What happens to the brother left behind?

Tou: Pulled in? I'd jump in!

Maki: No, I think it's better if it's me.

Tou: What? But you suck at running!

Maki: I told you to shut up about that already! 💢 Also, escape isn't all about just running.

Tou: Hmm.. Well touché. If we're talking strategy, you might figure it out faster. But doesn't mean I won't!

Maki: Or that I won't from this side.

Tou: That too... So who's going in?

Maki: Me. Mom would need someone, and you're better at house chores.

Tou: Why, thank--HEY! You're just tryna escape the laundry!

[blueberrytwins]

Hi, what do you think about your Hikari ancestors?

Maki's eyes roll on instinct upon hearing that name. He chews on his lower lip and snickers.

Tou pushes his twin's face away from view. With a wide, friendly grin, he says: Like the real answer, or the answer that can be said in public? :D
