*Yuma nodded, taking a deep breath before beginning.*

One of the demons came to the dorm tonight. He was threatening to throw a huge fireball at the dorms because I was there.
Some of the teachers stepped in to try and stop him, but that resulted in Desdemona-sensei having to duel the demon in a dark game.

She lost... and she almost died. That demon was so violent and she was injured so badly...

*Yuma had to stop there for a moment as a sob got caught in his throat. He simply leaned on the table and held his head, waiting for the sudden feeling of despair to subside a little.*

*Watching how difficult and how painful this was for Yuma to explain made tears well up in Kotori's eyes too.*

But... you said 'almost died', so she's alive right? She'll be okay right, Yuma?

*Once he felt ready to, he removed his hands from his head and looked at Kotori on the screen.*

She's... she is alive, but in a really bad way.
After the final attack hit, another of the demons showed up. They offered to heal Desdemona-sensei in exchange for information about Dark Mist. I had to tell them what they wanted, otherwise there was no way she would of survived.

But, to heal her, the second demon took something from the first demon and put it into Desdemona-sensei. I don't know what it was but... I don't feel comfortable that a part of that demon is now in her.

*Kotori really didn't like the sound of that either.*

And... what about you?
You said these demons are after you, right? Why specifically you?

*Yuma paused. This next part was going to be the hardest, most difficult part to tell her.*

Because of ZEXAL. Because I took down the other two demons while using that.
They feel threatened by it, because according to them, that power is one of the few things that kills them.

So all three of them are looking to kill me and they're preparing something to do so.

*He paused for a moment, as he brought his arms around himself in a half self hug.*

I don't like the idea of 'killing' anything. That happened with the last two because it was in self-defence and because they were threatening to use our world as a feeding ground. Now these want to do the same, but they want to get rid of me first.

I don't want revenge against them. I'm angry, sure, but I'd never seek revenge, but they will come after me eventually and when they do, I will have to fight them.
I need to make sure they don't hurt anybody else. I need to make sure they only target me and when they do... I need to find a way to win and take them down... or find a way to take them down with me if I lose, because if I don't...
.... they'll harm billions of innocent people.

*He closed his eyes, allowing tears to fall from them.*

I think this is what the door meant when it said that this power came with great risks and hardships.

*Yuma shouldn't have to go through this, he shouldn't have to have the fate of their world completely on his shoulders alone. She wanted to disagree with him, she wanted to tell him he was wrong and be his voice of reason like she always was...
... but the worst part of this was that Yuma's words made sense.

She knew Yuma wasn't going into this lightly. She knew he wasn't making the decision to be some big hero or anything. He was choosing to do this because he felt it was the right thing to do, no matter how upset and scared he was over it.

She'd promised him that no matter what, she'd always be there for him, but right now she felt the most furthest away she'd ever been. She wanted to be there, she wanted to hold him and comfort him, to hold his hand and be by his side...
... but she couldn't, physically, she couldn't.

As tears fell from her eyes, strained frustrated sobs began sounding from her.*

*As he heard Kotori crying, Yuma cringed, placing a hand to his chest where his Emperor's Key was and taking hold of it tightly. It broke his heart knowing that he was making her cry.*

I know all I've really done this year is apologize to you and give you bad news, but I promise, that no matter what, I'll face this like I always do! That I'll give it my all and I won't give up at all against them! That I'll do my best to make sure that everyone remains safe!

Just promise me that you won't face this entirely by yourself. Even if you want to keep the others safe, let them know what you're doing and talk to them... don't keep it to yourself. They'll help you, even if it's just to support you.
...please.

I promise, I won't keep them or you in the dark about anything.
I know I have the support of you and the others and it will be my driving force that'll keep me going and keep my hopes up that I'll make it through this alive.

*He paused for a moment, before continuing.*

Look. I know the last time I said this you picked up on the fact that I wasn't ready to say it and you were right. I said it because I felt it would make you feel better if something happened to me, but I know now that wouldn't of been the case.
But I don't want to say it this time for that reason. I want to say this to you because I know I can say it myself and mean it now.

I love you, Kotori.
And when I make it through this and the winter holidays come around, we'll spend that entire two weeks together doing whatever we want, okay?

*Although still sobbing, Kotori attempted to wipe the tears from her eyes and gave him a nod. Although they really hadn't had much of a chance to be together as a couple, she could tell this time he was being sincere with those words.*

I love you too.

*Yuma gave her a nod and a small half-smile, but he was honestly completely emotionally drained from everything that had happened and he could tell that she was too. He wished there was more he could say, that he could somehow cheer her up, but right now he couldn't. They both just needed rest.*

I... should probably go and check on Yuya. He's with Yuzu and Izumi right now but, the whole thing really freaked him out a lot.

I'll see if I can find out how Desdemona-sensei is tomorrow and call you with an update.

Okay. *She wiped her eyes again so she could look up and see him on the screen.*

...Goodnight, Yuma. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Goodnight, Kotori.

*With that, Yuma reached out to the touch screen and after a pause, he pressed the button to end the call, causing the holographic screen to disappear.

Once it had, Yuma rested his head on the table. His stomach was churning and anxiety was making his chest feel tight, but he knew that this was the only time he could allow himself to be emotionally run-down over this. If he was in for any chance to win against the demons, he needed to make sure he was strong enough to take them on, so he didn't fall into the same trap Desdemona did.

For a while, he just laid there in the quiet darkness of the Osiris Red dining area, allowing tears to fall if they wanted to.
Once the feeling of nausea and anxiety had lifted a little from him, he slowly stood up, picking up his duel disk as he did, and left.*
