Viral stared at Yumi, his mood dropping quickly when she gave him a look that spelled her defeat. He didn’t want her to get upset, it’s why he wanted her to leave him before she ended up losing heart. His eyes looking elsewhere for a moment before back to her, he stared at her without looking ready to make a rebuttal incase he upset her more with his way of thinking; he knew she was sensitive about things, but he didn’t think she was that passionate about the subject. Scratching his cheek slowly with a single claw, he kept his eyes off her as if looking at her would only end up bothering her more. He didn’t see himself as better, she really shouldn’t had said something like that as if it was an attempt to raise his ego.

He was just feeling awkward now, his mind not quite finding its place anymore as he was suddenly conflicted. Looking to her as she began to make her way back, he opened his mouth to speak but couldn’t find the right words to say as she walked off, leaving him alone just like he wanted all along. Watching her walk on back into the house, he turned away and just stared into the forest, feeling oddly lost despite knowing where everyone was. Staring at his claws, he bore a neutral expression as thoughts just rushed through his mind, clenching them with a shaky hand before he threw his claws at the tree, tearing the bark apart in a sudden and quick fit of rage.

Shu smiled hopefully, feeling that he could trust Takeshi’s word. It was all strange and definitely a curious thing to where the future would take him, but it was also a scary and rather disturbing place. Hoping that the best was yet to come, he let out a sigh and nodded, smiling a little, “Okay. I hope he’s okay too. I mean…he was really weak before. I don’t know how fast these aliens recover”, he sighed, scratching his head for a moment before Yumi suddenly came into the house. Looking in the same direction Takeshi looked to, he smiled a little upon seeing Yumi but felt confused to why she was acting strange.

Watching her play with her food, Shu slowly moved closer to her as if silently observing her behaviour. He didn’t know what was wrong with her, maybe she was a little tired or just not very hungry. He smiled either way, he didn’t want her to feel bad because he wasn’t smiling. Watching her curiously for a moment, he looked to Takeshi as he called out to him, giving a little nod before he reached into his pocket, pulling out a sweet and placing it on the table next to Yumi, “We won’t be long”, he smiled before wandering off and away after Takeshi.

Kai and Choi watched pretty silently as everything happened before them, Choi looking a little confused at first but a quick look from Kai made him somewhat understand what was going on. They were probably best staying out of it all, it was their business and definitely something they probably wouldn’t understand. Letting out a sigh as Takeshi and Shu made their leave, Kai picked up the empty plates left and brought them over to be washed, seeing as how he didn’t have a hand at making the food, “…So, things not going quite as planned?” Kai spoke up, keeping his tone low, “Could be worse; he could be actively missing being tortured and enslaved”.
