I was out in Maiami City running a few errands for mom when I came across a newspaper with this headline.

*[Attached is a photo of a newspaper: The headline reads 'Yushou Sakaki: A Washed Up Duelist']*

It's some kind of smear article on dad, claiming crazy things like how he knew he was 'washed up', how his dueling hadn't been up to par in his recent duels before the accident and claiming his leg injury wasn't as bad as it was, even claiming the accident was on 'purpose' to go out with some kind of 'blaze of glory' because he 'knew' he was going to lose to his opponent!
They even go on to claim it's the end of 'Entertainment Dueling'! Not even mentioning me, or Yuzu or You Show Duel School who can keep it going!

It's ridiculous! Who even writes this stuff?!
And why do people always assume the worst of dad when something happens?

This comes only a day after dad had a check up on his leg. It's healing, but not as fast as they'd hoped, so he still has to rest it for at least another month before they consider it safe for him to start physiotherapy on it and even then it's still up in the air if he'll be able to go back to doing Action Dueling or not.

I dunno, I guess I just had to vent about this somewhere. I really thought the media had left us alone like we asked and then someone just writes... this!

They even write things about Reira?

Geez. That's really harsh.

Especially about Reira.

You don't know how many Anti-Vax and Child Abuse claims get peddled around tabloids and online. It's dumb.

That's so awful! You guys care so much about Reira.

This is what annoys me so much about this stuff, because it has the potential to be really damaging to people if it happened to blow up somehow.

Yeah. It really blows.

Best you can do is ignore it and do your best to be a good person, at the end of the day.

Yeah. I guess not much more can be done other than that.

The upside is you and your family are really nice people so your actions should speak for themselves.

Yeah. You're right.

Thanks Serena.

And if anything ever escalates with any of those dumb rumours people throw at you guys, well, I'm sure you have a legal team or something for it, but, we all have your backs too.

Yeah, we have a legal team that might possibly eat souls.

But the moral support is appreciated!
