Day 47: Sun Room [4th Shift]

[For Yuna!Fish and chips weren't his favorite thing ever, but he did make sure to eat it all. He just liked to think of the fish as the Filet'o Fish without the bun and it made it easier to eat. The french fries had been pretty well cleaned off and he'd even managed a bit of fruit, although he avoided the oranges and other sour things his nurse

Right to the heart of things then. While the coliseum might be their concern, his latest injury wasn't their doing so there was no reason for them to worry over it. Much as he might like to tell the truth, too many other questions inevitably followed. Unfortunately, confrontations like this were difficult whether he told the truth or lied. Nothing he said now would change what'd happened.

"I don't know what you want me to say," he replied after a moment, smile faded into a thin line as he tried to find his way through the mess things had become.

"I'm sorry for forcing Yue's hand, but I'm not sorry for being the one to end things. I was... too weak to do it myself. He's not at fault and... if there's anything I can do to assure him of that I'd..." he trailed off, shaking his head. As if there were any way to make something like that up. If Yue wanted to hate him, he had every right to.

"As a guardian... he protected the people who mattered. Sakura needs her brother and her friend a lot more than she needs a stranger she's only known a few days.

Four walls surrounded him no matter where he ran in this place.

For a long moment Yukito was silent, his eyes unfocused and face utterly devoid of expression; he finally gave a faint shudder and reached out blindly to rest his hand on Touya's knee, seeking an additional contact of his own. It was like Yue's feelings were impossible to separate from what he himself felt, and that -- he couldn't remember ever feeling anger like this before, especially not mixed with equal parts guilt and, yes, concern as well. What did he think? What did Yue think? What should he, could he say now?

"All of you were...are important. Worth protecting," he began, voice halting, sounding almost distracted. "He...Yue-san told you that before, that he wanted to protect you. Even if you thought there was no reason." He hesitated again, then glanced up at Fai with an expression both sad and worried. "We cannot believe that anyone had to die, down there. As Sakura-chan likes to say, it will definitely be all right. There is always hope."
