[He hands Yugi the packet of plot notes. ]

It's not late, Yugi. It's early.

Did you not sleep?

[ he takes the packet and starts reading. notices that a lot of what happened with him and the angel quest crew is missing. like, all of it. ]

I did sleep, and that's the problem. Or maybe it's not the problem. I don't know anymore. In any case I'm still waking up and I don't know what time it is. [ looks back at the notes. ] I'm guess you omitted the stuff we saw on purpose. The crash site and the ritual and all of that? since you must have heard about that from Hurricane or Nemesis, since their brains weren't scrambled, though I think we're all fine now...

I've never included how to summon demons or the like in any of my notes, and I certainly wasn't going to start now.

I was thinking about including something about the crater in Tokyo-F, but I want to visit it for myself first. And anyone can go see it firsthand and experience it for themselves.

What people do need to know from this mess is that Hell infusions can be purified, who Zappy is, and what exactly happens when Lady Death pays a visit.

...I didn't even know we had a crater here too. I was talking about the one near the prison, but I guess there's no point in including that. It's not like it'd benefit anybody. Do you know if this one is holy-radiated too? Assuming Mehniel is the reason it's there.

Hopefully knowing more about her will dissuade people from killing themselves... [ but probably not. if someone wants to do it, then that's the end of that. and them, apparently. ] Did she do anything to you? I... don't think she did anything more to me. [ he looks down at himself for a moment and then just slouches in his seat and yawns. ]

No. I wasn't missing enough to require a Hell infusion. Just the normal healing.

After she finished with the rest of you, she gave me this---

[Holds up his hand with the bone ring]

And sent me back.

[ ... ]

[ internally screaming about himself. ]

[ and then intensity. ]

[ and then himself again. ]

That's not ominous at all. [ absolutely 100% sarcastic. ]

A future favor. The price of sending everyone home.

Compared to what Hurricane was offering, this is a fucking bargain.

[ well shit. ]

[ he just sighs. there's no point in apologizing, since the fuck up has long since passed. ]

Was he trying to throw himself on the spike?

Yes.

And she was playing with him. Cruelly.

And I'm sure he was emotionally charged and probably not exactly aware, so... [ it must have been a shit show, especially to those watching. poor hurricane. ]

Of the people there that were able to bargain, I was the only one she approached seriously. But regardless, what's done is done. And like I told King, I have no regrets about it.

The only thing to do now is distribute what we've learned and try to see if I can somehow make this work in our favor.

And do you have any ideas on how to do that yet?

...

Not yet.

If anyone can figure it out, Intensity...

[ since he's gone back to staring at the notes again he notices something he had kind of glazed over earlier, the game tower, and since that's relevant to something he's planning on doing... whelp. he manages to keep his expression neutral, but the fact that this stupid thing is a demon is something he'll bring up when he talks to everybody. again. and just fuck. his chest starts to glow faintly as blood seeps through the cracks of the puzzle. stupid tell. stupid feels. ]

[ brings his legs onto the cube to hold against his chest. ] ...earlier, you at least heard about all of that stuff from everybody, right? About what happened during that [ makes a vague hand motion. ] trip. It's not in here for reasons you already explained, but three of us couldn't talk about it and I don't know what you may or may not have heard from the other two. Me and King had done some stuff prior to meeting up with those three, and then we kept splitting up in to groups to do this and that and... you probably got the jist already. [ he's sure there hasn't been anything intensity hasn't heard that he could say. ] Nevermind.

I'm going to go. If what you said was true, and I'm sure it absolutely is, then something else is wrong with me. [ he bristles, wings fluffing up a bit as he tightens his grip on his legs. ] I just... don't know what it is yet... [ which is kind of terrifying. ]

Nemesis filled me in. As did B. So I know about what happened in the parking lot. And what you and Hurricane did at the crash site.

...

[Though that last bit gives him pause]

The blood and the wings were all before the fight, yes? So there has to be some other equivalent exchange involved in order to get back your head.

[ a hum of acknowledgement. ]

[ he starts ticking things off his hand. ] I have the blood tattoo scar [ just shakes his head as one finger goes up. ] thing. Four wings. [ a second finger goes up. ] A third, glowing eye on my forehead. [ and a third finger goes up. ] My right eye is a bit different, though because it's still purple it's not exactly obvious. [ a fourth finger goes up. ] And I noticed when I bleed a lot I smell like some sort of flower. [ the fifth and final finger goes up. ] All of which happened before the fight, so I'm not entirely sure what she could have possibly done to me and I'm not looking forward to finding out. [ sighs, bonking his head on his knees once, twice, three times... yeah, he's not going to stop. fuck this. ]

[Reaches over to place his palm against Yugi's forehead so that he can't do that again]

[ ...stops. ]

Stop thinking about it. Whatever it is, you'll find out eventually.

[ nods his head against his intensity's hand, since it's still there? and then gently moves it away so he can move off the cube and get to his feet. ]

I have a bunch of other things on my mind anyway. [ he glances down at the notes again, his chest tightening. ugh. ] And I think Wednesday might be gone. But thanks, for this. [ turns robotically toward the door, because like hell he wants to cry in front of intensity. ]

...

Permanent transfer?

I don't think so. Her profile is still but... she's one of those people capable of lighting up an entire room, and having her here, especially now, would have just been nice. It sucks.

...

Then distract yourself with what you can do for her when she gets back.

Good idea.

[ straightens up and draws in a slow, even breath. he’s thankful he does have something else to focus on, even if it did involve her and isn’t the most ‘happy’ thing in the world. ] If this is everything I’ll see you around. [ waves with the notes and heads for the door. ]

[Watches him go.

Yugi, are you okay? He doesn't think so. But also he has like 0 spare fucks to give at the moment. So just...

Oh wait]

One more thing.
