[Open]

Who: Yuya and you
When: First week or so of October
Where: Around Campus
What: Yuya deals with the consequences of trying to kill people in a fae-induced haze.
Warnings: Trauma talk about violence, attempted murder, etc. Bullying??

[Face the Music]

[The year doesn't start like the others. The horror of what Yuya's done during the night of the Hunt sets in quickly--all the people he terrorized and hurt before he was pulled from it. Targetting his friends, dragging Odd-Eyes into a frenzy through his connection--so he doesn't make it to classes his first week back, so sick with himself.

But he can't hide forever. On the first of October he trudges through the halls to class, strangling his book bag in his arms with his head held down.

The whispers start in the hallway, but it isn't until he sits down at his desk and he looks up that he realizes how... wary some people are. Quick, nervous glances pointed his way and switching seats to put distance between them until he's isolated by empty desks.

Yuya stares ahead, hands trembling, completely lost to his classwork as he counts down the seconds until he can run out of there.]


[Penalty]

[He tries to avoid everyone everywhere else. That's easier for his friends, whose habits he knows better to dodge the hallways they go down, their rooms or lunch periods. But he doesn't know everyone he pursued, even rememeber all of them clearly, and sometimes when avoiding the crowd he's blindsided.

It's the girl, standing next to a boy a little taller than her. The one with the shield, and she's one he does recall immediately when he sees her--her arm wrapped in bandages and a tense recognition locking her whole body up when they make eye contact. Oh, he'd certainly tried to kill her.

Yuya takes a step back, croaking a weak sound from his throat as he tries to speak. To apologize, even if no words are going to be enough. Maybe he moves too quickly, or the wrong way, because the boy lunges into action immediately. He grabs Yuya's arm and shoves him against the wall, and Yuya curls in on himself.]
You--

I'm sorry! [Like sorry is really enough, and doesn't he have every right to be mad at him? Doesn't she?]

[Extra Curricular]

[He sneaks by the sign up sheets for clubs towards the end of the day, where he thinks he can miss most of the people. His name is already on there, of course, as one of the first in preparation for running the club for the new year. Right next to Nana's.

Yuya grabs the pen connected to the clipboard, setting it firmly to the paper. He hesistates, biting his lip... then slowly drags it over his name, back and forth to cross it out.]

[Gongenzaka shakes his head.] I brought you here, because what we needed most was advice; as you said, something needed to be done.

However, that does not mean going forward with what options are there simply because of what it seems another wants, or says- I, the man Gongenzaka, brought you here, yes...but it is still your choice to go through with the actions offered.

[Val firmly nods when Gongenzaka makes that statement, a certain relief hitting the back of his mind knowing Yuya had someone watching out for him like this.]

He's right. Never surrender your personal agency in making decisions like this. You are still you. To surrender that is just like surrendering to Zarc himself.

[Sort of like what happened during the Hunt.]

Zarc is your burden. We are here to help, but the agency to make this decision all must be yours, and yours alone.
betheman: (-whispers- U DIDNT DO IT)

Y...Yuuya...

[He doesn't think he has a right answer here. Yet the trouble is just that- neither of them know there is a right answer. Neither of them know at all.

Gongenzaka swallows, and gently reaches toward the other- even without the confidence, he feels like perhaps re-insisting that Yuuya take the step entirely is...

...Not going to help. Not right now, at least.
] ...Yuuya.

Do you wish to find the solution to this? [he instead asks softly, lowering his voice for Yuuya to focus on.] If you wish to do so...

Then do so.

[Get the scan.]

Life is about decisions, Yuya. And no one gets them all correct. Take that from someone who has been alive for twenty-five hundred years. I have made many mistakes. I still make wrong decisions.

[As he already had, in assuring Yuya's fears would not come into play. And there were plenty more than that.]

Part of what defines you as a person is what you do about those wrong decisions whenever they inevitably rear their heads. If you make the wrong decision, you learn from it and have it inform your future choices, and you become stronger for it. So if you make a wrong decision? Own it. And use it to move on to make a better you.

So cut your own path, Yuya. This is a chance to take back control. But only you can do that.
betheman: (FUCK THAT)

[Gongenzaka nods. And Nods firmly, reaching to gently take the other's shoulder.

He'd take one of his hands, but he feels like that would be a bit too patronizing right now, given what Yuuya's doing.
] Right.

[Right. Good. They're going to do this- and if Yuuya's still stuck from there, he'll give as proper a push as he can.

...He just hopes that's the right thing to do.
