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!

Not yet. I can't ask him yet.

[He's so close to breaking every day. Kano has to become an afterthought until he's ready; even if it hurts to leave this unresolved.]

[hippocarnival]

Okay. [He pauses, giving Toki's shoulder a squeeze. He can't do this for Toki, but maybe there's something else he can assure for him.]

Do you... want me to ask Kano if he's been disguising himself and talking to you? So you'll know for sure.

[And if it's just his paranoia, maybe it'll help him talk himself out of it.]

[yokeye]

[Toki shifts around to face Yuya.]

Would he tell you the truth? Do you trust him, Yuya?

[They can tell him he's paranoid and making it all up, but he hasn't been able to believe it yet.]

[hippocarnival]

Yeah. I trust him.

[Maybe more than he should, the way he says it without any hesitation. He trusts his heart to be in the right place, at least. To listen, this time, that it's hurting more than helping if it's true.]

[yokeye]

Then you can ask him.

[He's already dreading the answer, no matter what it is. Either Kano has been staking him, or he has to accept he's as bad off as they say.]

[hippocarnival]

[Yeah... it's kind of a lose-lose situation.

Yuya nods.] You're going through a lot, so... it's okay. But I think the help is helping?

[yokeye]

[He laugh a little at the phrasing.]

It is. It's just... hard. Yuya, I'm... I'm sorry that I hurt you, that you had to deal with everything...

[hippocarnival]

I think it's a lot worse for you. [Living like that... Yuya can't really imagine it. Not completely. He just sees the terrifying results.

Kuroko finally crawls out from under the desk, stretching before she hops into Toki's lap with a meow.]

[yokeye]

I'm used to it.

[That's what Ekkehardt said. He was used to it and didn't understand how much of a different world he lived in.]

Hey, Kuroko.

[He pets her gently, scratching behind her ears. She's warming up to him.]
