*Four days after Yuya had woken up, you hear that Yuma is also now awake.
When you arrive at the infirmary, you see Yuma sat up slightly in his bed, leaning against the pillow. He is definitely a far cry from the way he usually is. He's very quiet and looking very subdued. There's not the usual sparkle of energy in his eyes, instead he seems to just be staring blankly at nothing. The dark marks under his eyes tells you that he is still suffering heavily with exhaustion.
Feel free to visit him. A familiar face may cheer him up!

Yuya is also still in the infirmary, so threads can also involve him if you want him included in the threads!*

::Sets up a Spell Economics notebook and pen. The book flips to the first available of what seems to be many pages, as the pen hovers and starts writing.::

Where would you like to start?

[kattobingore]

I'm not really sure...
There's a lot to go through.
And my head feels like one big mess right now.

[theheadmonarch]

I understand you were ranting about Heartland a lot. Let's start there.

[kattobingore]

I was really angry. About what happened to Heartland.
Angry and frustrated. I honestly just wanted to yell or punch something.
But my family, they needed help. They needed me to be there for them and I wanted to make sure they were okay.
Especially Kotori.
She lost everything.
Her friends. Her home. Her entire family.
She was really broken up over it.
So I just... buried what I was feeling. Put it as far back in my mind as I could and just concentrated on her, as well as sis and granny.
But then I continued it here too, so my friends wouldn't worry too much about me.
I thought the feeling of anger would just eventually go away.
But it didn't.

[theheadmonarch]

... Yeah, those sort of feelings don't. Die down unless you find a way to at least talk about them. At least in my experience. Talking about tragedy on this sort of scale, Tsukumo-kun.

Why'd you just bury them?

[kattobingore]

Maybe part of me felt I had to. Or that I felt their own feelings were more important than my own.

They saw it happen. They had to go through it. They were in that terrifying situation.

I didn't want to show my anger in front of them, or my friends.
And I didn't want to let my anger and frustration paralyze me, so I could help my family move forward, so I could be a source of strength for them.
I buried my own feelings about what happened so I could be strong for them.

*He pauses for a moment, obviously fighting back a bit of emotion.*

...dumb move, huh.

[theheadmonarch]

Dumb, but understandable. What you did is honestly pretty normal, from my experience. People don't like to admit being weak, scared that others will be left without a lighthouse in a stormy ocean of sorts.

But bottling up tends to lead to explosions of one kind of another.

[kattobingore]

...and I guess that explosion happened, huh.

Maybe if I hadn't of bottled it all up, I would of been able to fight against the chaotic energy better. Maybe Yuya wouldn't of had to duel me.

[theheadmonarch]

Maybe you'd of turned into a demon. Admittedly this is a bit of a shudda wudda cudda. The question is, what do you plan to do in the future about it.

[kattobingore]

Well... I can't use that Rank-Up-Magic again.
I can't risk that same thing happening!

[theheadmonarch]

Well. yes. That's a good basic decision. Anything else?

[kattobingore]

... and talk to my family. About how I've really been feeling over Heartland.

[theheadmonarch]

I suppose that'll do for the moment. Have you considered some sort of basic fitness training, when dealing with the supernatural. To lessen broken bones?

[kattobingore]

Fitness training? *He looks curiously at her.*

[theheadmonarch]

Yes. So you can dodge, say, a fist breaking your bones.

[kattobingore]

Hmn... I guess it would make sense. Especially since these things keep happening.

[theheadmonarch]

Then I'll make sure Professor Samasu help you with that. I also know a guy who might be able to help you. But I think the fact he existed scared Sakaki-kun.

[kattobingore]

O-oh? Scared Yuya...?

*Whyyy does he have a bad feeling about this now.*
