(GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District

[Cherry]

"Hana", Yugure finally decided on what to say after hearing so little from her sister. "If there's something you want to talk about, just tell me", a stern tone. That sigh, the almost non-existent smile, a big sister was rather fed up with not hearing what was really on mind. While happy about the bonding with Angel Feather, that was just masking what the girl actually wanted to say. That's what was believed.

[NeoBuster]

Running as if he was on the track team, Neo ran as fast as he could to the district because thats where he knew Hana and her friends were. After running for a while he finally reached the district and was looking for the diner that everyone was at. After finally finding it, Neo ran through the entrance and then tripped and fell.

"Ouch" Neo said getting back up.

"Now where are they sitting at" Neo said

[Hope]

"There's no need to worry about me, nee-san." She looked at her sister in the eye, like a clash of swords. Whether what she wanted was right or wrong at this point didn't matter, she'll adjust it according to the situation, and at this point, its ways better than what her sister's been doing. The chance to talk about things had passed, only Miyuki was able to show Hana a Vanguard that she loved yesterday. For Mi-hime's sake as well, she has to get Bermuda Triangle back, and sitting around isn't going to do anything. If she isn't as strong as Cero then there's no way that she'll be able to fight for anything to return. Her dependence has now turned into independence, but with a lack of guidance, her sister basically gone when needed, and her true clan which acted as a part of conscience missing, Hana had been shooting arrows in the dark, emotions kept inside have now overflowed.

"If you want to talk about things, we can just have a cardfight later..." She continued to eat her ice cream, "are you going to have any?"

[NeoBuster]

Neo finally found the table Hana was sitting at and was literally out of breathe

"Hana.... Miyuki.... I got.... something to tell you...." Neo said trying to breathe

[Cherry]

Yukino's heart broke.

The eye contact they shared wasn't one of warmth, it was like stabs for her. The woman's swords didn't strike back, they simply took the hits. Motioning Satoshi to move aside for her to get out, she spoke: "No, I won't have any. Sorry." Audibly choking back on tears, the queen stood while offering an apology, slipping out of the diner alone. Whatever Hana was thinking of her sister was probably right. Yukino Espoir was basically a dead woman walking - lost, hungry, tired, and just on a downward spiral. It was decided that it'd just be best to stay out of the way.

Not noticing Neo's presence, she walked out the door.

[NeoBuster]

Yukino wait!" Neo said

I know... Where the clans are..." Neo said

[Crystalia]

Miyuki had just sat there quietly during the sibling conversation, knowing not to intervene. She noticed however, how shattered Yukino looked at the end of it. She sighed inwardly, wishing that it had ended differently. She resolved herself to check with Haruka if she saw him later, to make sure to tell him to cheer Yukino up. She continued to eat the dessert, giving Hana another hug after Yukino walked off, letting her know that she was there for her.

Neo running over was quite a shock though. 'Hmm, Neo? What's wrong?' He was definetly out of breath, like he had been running to get here. 'In fact, how did you even find us here?' It probably didn't matter that much, but she was curious.

Neo's next words changed things slightly. 'You know where the clans are?' she echoed.

[NeoBuster]

"Yes I do" Neo said sitting down trying to catch his breathe

"But first answer me this, do you know a person named Neu?" Neo asked everyone

[Hope]

Hana watched her leave. She felt bad from what she saw, her sister was crying, but how is that going save anyone. "She's the Chosen Sword for crying out loud," Hana thought to herself, continuing to eat. She wants to look up to her, and above all wants someone who she can joke around with and call her nee-san. Instead she gets someone who does nothing but cries and makes no progress day after day. The problem isn't going to fix itself, so Hana put it on herself to try to fix it in whatever way necessary. "How the heck is someone who can't even look me in the eye going to fight the War of Liberation?...." Hana frowned, grabbing her spoon more tightly "they could be suffering in there..." her eyes starting to become stars, the world beyond the skies. All of the sudden Mi-hime hugged her, snapping her out the state.

"I'll... talk to her later. Also regarding Neu, I know." She answered Neo, she already knew who the target was.

[NeoBuster]

Neo started talking to everyone "Well i just got finished cardfighting with her, and I asked her about what the rift was, And she said in front of my face that she is the one who sealed the clans" Neo said

Neo wasnt sure if he should tell everyone why she did it but he did anyway

"Her reasoning behind it was to end the war, she claims that she wants everyone happy and smiling, but doesnt realize that sealing clans away is making people sad" Neo said

"I dont know what else shes planning, but thats what I just found out, Neu and the rift are the reasoning behing the vanishing of the clans" Neo said drinking some water.

[Hope]

"I said, I already know..."

Hana stood up and paid for the meal, giving a nice tip along with it. She turned back to Mi-hime who she felt sorry for, having to see all that. "Sorry, Mi-hime... let's go." Hana walked out of the store, her next destination being home.

[NeoBuster]

Neo watched everyone leave

"Did she know this whole time?..." Neo thought to himself.

Neo left a small tip for the dirnk of water and ran out passing everyone. This time he was heading to the one place where he knew he could train and get stronger.

[Crystalia]

Well, that had been slightly awkward. But there was nothing much she could do, but make sure Hana was ok. She seemed to be slightly on edge, understandably so. She followed Hana outside, passing by Neo on the way out. She shivered slightly, it seemed to have gotten even colder than before outside. 'Maybe I was also to tired to notice exactly how cold it was earlier' she thought.

[Hope]

Neu stood in front of a tiny coffee house, "StarGATEbucks Coffee..." at least that what she thought the sign was saying. She couldn't actually read it, but her phone maps says that she's at the destination. She turned to check on lover boy to make sure he didn't pass out on his way here. Neu was in the mood for a simple frappe, something sweet. Caramel sounded good...  The line was quite long, so there was enough time to get some casual conversation in, cool.

"Well so what's with the exhaustion? Girlfriend keeping you up or something?"

[Jello]

"Hardly." Haruka responded rather concisely. He looked over at her. She was smug, yet keeping herself completely casual despite the taunt and thrashing she gave him. This wasn't coincidental at all.

She knew what was going to happen from the moment she spotted me.

With that, he looked up at the sign. Indeed, it was a coffee house. This made Haruka feel a bit more at home, however it probably was nothing compared to the butler's royal brew. With that, Haruka's bones had chilled over and frozen. Saying he felt any of it though would be an understatement.

I'm not even angry. I can't be angry. Happy? That's a long shot, even for me. Numb. That's a good way of putting it.

"I've been my own undoing, in a sense." Haruka scratched his cheek, stepping forward as the line had moved.
