After a while, the spirit incident in the forest became just another bad memory to Helena. While she was happy that Haruko was safe and sound, she still didn’t feel good about the loss she suffered to the other possessed students. If things hadn’t turned out like they did… She didn’t even want to think about it. It did, however, open her eyes to how her deck wasn’t performing well. Against other students anyways. Once she had gotten a few card packs, Helena looked through her deck and patched up anything that might’ve been a weak link. That mostly came down to her Gearfried cards. While she liked them, she knew that they weren’t doing her deck any favors. Before making the adjustments, she thanked Gearfried for at least being there to start the duel off for the past few duels, and put him away with the other cards she took out of her deck.

Once that was done, she gave a heavy sigh. Mr. Monoma had said earlier that today was parent visitation day. Helena was dreading it, for it’ll be the proof she needs on whether or not her parents really do care about her. She made her way to the docks to wait with everyone else. “Try to be optimistic, Helena. I’m sure they’ll come see you.” Chosen spoke up, trying to comfort her. Helena just gave a slight nod and stood by the edge of the docks. She watched as the boats soon came to the docks, but as the parents of the other students got off them, her heart started to sink more and more.
