[kattobingore]

*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!*

[Gggguuueeeeehhh, that was poorly timed.]

...

Y-yeah.

Um. Can I get you anything?

[kattobingore]

*He leans back on the pillow a little and shakes his head slowly.*

I'm fine for now.

[grimgrimwar]

Okay.

...how's Hope doing?

[kattobingore]

... He hasn't really talked since I woke up. I think we're both just concentrating on recovering right now.

[grimgrimwar]

...m-mmn.

I-if you want to, though. It may be a good idea to talk to him for a bit.

...with Galaxy-Eyes and Icarus, I've. Done it a couple times while I was recovering from stuff. It helps.

[kattobingore]

*Yuma gives her a nod.*

Yeah. I should definitely try talking to him at some point. It might help us both.

[grimgrimwar]

M-mmn.

...do you wanna. Talk about what happened?

[kattobingore]

*He's silent for a moment, before replying.*

... I really messed up.

[grimgrimwar]

Maybe, yeah.

But it turned out okay in the end.

[kattobingore]

... I guess it could of been worse. Much worse. At least we're gonna be okay.

I still feel really bad for what happened though.

[grimgrimwar]

Yeah.

And that's okay. It's natural to feel guilty.

That's what life is. Messing up, needing to be bailed out by your friends, feeling guilty and...hoping you can do better in the future.

But y'know something, Yuma?

[kattobingore]

*He looks curiously at her.*

Hm? Know what?

[grimgrimwar]

I watched most of that duel. And I watched Yuya in it.

He didn't care about the danger to himself. All he cared about was helping you. He fought with every inch he had to get you back. Because he loves you.

...you don't get friends that good unless you've done a few things right, in my experience.

[kattobingore]

*He sits there for a moment, as an emotional look appears on his face, small tears appearing in his eyes. He then smiles a little, before wiping the forming tears away with his hands.*

Yeah.
Yeah. You're right!

[grimgrimwar]

So...

[She raises up a hand and lightly takes one of his hands in hers.]

...it's okay if you mess up sometimes. And it's okay if you can't handle everything yourself.

You don't always have to try and kattobing through everything. It's...okay to fail and to need help sometimes. Y'know?

[kattobingore]

*His grateful smile seems to grow a little bigger at that as he places remaining his free hand over hers so that he is holding it in both hands.*

Never giving up is my motto, but, I know now that even if I do fail... I have some amazing friends that will support me through it and help me come back stronger than before.

And that's what I plan to do. After I've recovered, I'll use this fall as my strength for the future.
