It takes almost another minute for the two of them to notice that anybody else is even present. Shizuka and Zahra part, Zahra stumbling from foot to foot before collapsing into Shizuka's arms (if they were depicted in an animated medium, their eyes would be doing that spinny spiral thing). Shizuka, however, seems steady as ever.

"Shizuka..."

"Zahra..."

The two of them look ready to go at it again, before Shizuka cocks her head to the side curiously. "Zahra, I swear if you've been cheating on me with an alternate universe clone, I'm going to do very bad things to you~" She only says it half-jokingly.

"Oh. Right." Zahra struggles to their feet. "So... hoboy. This is a lot. I guess I should- right, right." Their brain may be just a little bit scattered, still. "This is. Your brother. From a different universe. He's-"

"You're like me." Shizuka's voice is low, almost whispery. Relief, awe, gladness, and all sorts of other emotions swirl together in her voice. Then: "Oh my god, you're like me." Concern drowns out all the other emotions and she rushes towards Jounouchi while her actual brother looks on bemusedly. "Are you okay- I can't imagine- what happened, stars I can feel that scar from here-"

In the background, it turns out that Zahra is still love-dizzy and falls flat on their face. At least the sand is soft.
