YUYA SAKAKI UN: FUNDIRECTION

STATUS: Student Grade 9

ACCOLADES: (Here is a list of leading roles Yuya's has in school theater performances over the past two years, plus a glowing review of his familiar Odd-Eyes)

BIO: Hello! You can call me Yuya. I'm from Sendai, Japan. This is my second year in Daybreak Academy. I'm a Tamer, and Odd-Eyes is my familiar. He's the big red dragon that hangs out in the courtyards. He's friendly but he tries to steal food sometimes. I speak Japanese and English but not very good French. I'm also in the theater club. I'm in Lumiere 203. Let's be friends!

[ It absolutely does make things worse, but it's worse for Yuya than it is for Kano, who gets to sit behind him and use him as a literal wind shield. Holy fuck, he's never leaving his room again, his feet are never leaving the ground, this is the worst. ]

[Chances of catching a cold have gone up 90%.

Yuya doesn't talk the rest of the trip by virtue of being too cold to function Odd-Eyes seems to be utterly impervious to the temperature, and carries them all the way to the Lumiere dorm.

Yuya releases a full body shudder.] O-okay, we're here! I'm--g-going inside.

[suddenlybees]

[ RIP Yuya, thanks for your sacrifice. Kano doesn't need any prompting to get inside either, at least having the presence of mind to go full illusion- no wet clothes or shivering hands for him, so nobody will stop him on the way upstairs and to his room. ]

I'll see you later, 'kay? Take care of yourself!

[ LIKE NONE OF THIS EVERY HAPPENED
he's going to pretend none of this happened, he's never going to talk about it ]

[Yuya slides off of Odd-Eyes and hurries after Kano. They're both going the same direction up until the second floor. When Kano tries to disembark after, Yuya almost goes after. Almost, but he holds himself back and watches him at least until he gets halfway up the stairs. And then he starts.]

Ah--Kano! [He calls out from below, smiling warmly despite the chill.] I'm glad you're here.

[Alive. Surrounded by two sisters who seem good. Lucky.

He thinks... it wouldn't have been fair if Kano died with his mother that day, or today.]

[suddenlybees]

Hm? Ah... Yeah.

[ Being called out to is confusing enough, but he doesn't really get what the comment means either. "I'm glad you're here." It's vague, and there's probably a deeper meaning to it that he isn't going to pry into and make Yuya clarify, so he settles with smiling and nodding. A softer one. A gentler one, the sort of smile that's unmasked and he's always felt a little self-conscious about, but there's nobody else to see. ]

I'm glad you were there too.

[hippocarnival]

Anytime! [Yuya grins wider, unguarded, but before he can respond further his words get caught up in a loud sneeze that makes him stagger back in surprise.

He sniffs, rubbing his nose.]
