*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!*

*Both Kotori and Akari remained silent for a moment afterwards, before Kotori slowly got up from the chair she was sat in, in order to sit closer to Yuma on the bed, placing a hand on the side of his face*

Yuma. We would of never of expected you to of been able to do anything to bring anybody back.

I miss my family. I miss them so much every day.
But... it's also been over a month and I... I know they aren't coming back.
I know it's hard to accept... and that we may never have proper closure on it, but we will need to mourn over the loss of our home and everyone there the best we can, so we can eventually accept it...
But even if I lost my family, it doesn't mean I don't have one...

*Slowly, she pressed her forehead against his.*

You are my family now, Yuma. You, Akari-san and Haru-san are my family. You said so yourself, right?
It's important to be strong for each other, but it's also important to be truthful to our feelings and to help each other mourn too.

*Not saying anything else, Yuma pulled her into a firm hug, burying his head into her shoulder and allowing himself to cry a little. In response, Kotori wrapped her arms around him too.*

*As Akari watched the two of them, she couldn't help but feel some guilt herself. She should of known Yuma would of done this, put their feelings and needs before his own, she should of known he would of been holding back some of his own feelings. When their parents first disappeared, a similar situation happened. Yuma pretended to be alright, when in reality, their disappearance had hit him incredibly hard.

In the end, she knew that blaming herself for not noticing this time would come to nothing. The whole month had been chaotic and there had been a lot of other things on her mind and a lot of things to sort out.
Kotori was right about how they really needed to support each other.*

*With a sigh, she sits down on the edge of the bed.*

Yuma. You knuckle-head, honestly.
We wouldn't of wanted you to put your own health at risk just for us.

Just... tell us the next time you feel like that.

And I may not completely understand all this talk on your powers or this other supernatural stuff that seems to keep happening to you but... I'll listen.

*Breaking the hug with Kotori, Yuma wiped the tears away from his face and gave his sister a nod.
Noticing that he was looking extremely tired, Kotori leaned back a little bit against the bed, placing an arm around him and allowing him to rest his head against her shoulder. While he was still suffering from exhaustion, even the smallest emotional outburst had been taking a toll on him.

As Kotori and Akari continued talking around him, his eyes began getting heavier and the words they were speaking began to make less and less sense to him. His eyes flickered as he struggled to keep them open, but eventually they closed and remained closed as he fell asleep*
