.... Desdemona-sensei....
What happened to her was just... it... it was awful...
...and they attacked because it was me they were after...! But she protected us!
... even after everything she's done for us, I couldn't help her!!

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.

[kattobingore]

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.*
