Event Post 10 - Aftermath

[pendulum_soul]

*For the last few days, Yuya had slowly and gradually regained conciousness. He wasn't all that coherent during Wednesday and was very in and out of conciousness, but that improved through Thursday and by Friday, he was thankfully mostly coherent, though his thoughts were occasionally still sluggish and it sometimes took him a moment or two to grasp what people were saying to him or to think up a response.
He was exhausted and he was still very weak. All he could really do was lay in his bed and look at the ceiling, or sleep. He could do small gradual movements, like sitting up, or picking something up from the table by his bed (which half the time resulted in him dropping said item), but these movements took a lot of effort and felt like climbing a mountain to him.
He really hated not being able to do much for himself.

Feel free to give him a visit at the infirmary.*

[Yuzu nods and sets aside her

She slowly pulls herself out of bed. It's a slow process, just getting out of bed and walking over a few beds to Yuya and it feels like she's walked a mile just to get there, but when she actually sees Yuya in person again and not just on a screen.

She slips into bed next to him. It's a little cramped, but she doesn't mind.]

....thanks, Yuya.

[pendulum_soul]

It's no problem, Yuzu.

*He adjusts he blankets, making sure that they are covering her, before resting his head next to hers. He's silent for a moment, making sure she's settled, before he speaks. When he does, his voice is small and gentle.*

... I don't know what's going to happen to us. I wish I could tell you, but whatever happens, you don't have to face it on your own. It's like you said, no matter what, we'll face what happens together.
And I'll be right here.

...m-mmn.

[She slowly reaches for his Duel Disk. She hits the button to open the Extra Deck and gingerly takes the top card from it. As she flips the cards over so both of them can see, she briefly remembers what Yuya said when he summoned it.

"The electrifying dragon of unbreakable bonds." The symbol of their bonds.

She quietly takes in a breath and when she releases it, it's calm. Even if they lost...even if they're like this...none of that has changed, right?

They're still here with each other, at least. Yuzu focuses on that as one of her arms softly wraps around Yuya's waist and she lets her head rest next to his. She's still scared. But. Not as much.]

I understand.

[Shortly after that, her eyes slide shut and her breathing becomes more rhythmic as she falls asleep.]

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya places an arm around Yuzu gently as he watches her fall asleep in front of him. For a moment, he watches her sleep calmly, while thinking back to the card, the symbol of the unbreakable bond he and Yuzu shared with one another.
He knew that no matter what they had to go through, that bond was going to carry them and keep them strong.

A small, content smile appears on his face as he feels his eyes becoming heavier. Eventually, his eyes also gradually slide shut as he falls into a relaxed sleep beside Yuzu.*
