i already have some direct family lined up for alice, so i can't really offer anything in that department, but i'd be interested in doing something with rui all the same! and seeing you wanting to give her healing powers gave me an idea - alice's own powers are a little reckless (read: hulk-style), so maybe in the au they could have a friendship where they met years ago and at this point rui kind of helps patch her up after she's hulked out? and ofc alice can hang out at the cafe rui works at too! at least that way rui does have a close friend c:

it's going to take alice a while to snap out of the event too, most likely, since she's so bad with illusions, so she won't interrupt your plans of having rui be stuck in the illusions. maybe they can snap out of it together like.. much later on if you'd be interested in that, haha
