Beryl:
Satoshi sighed. "Listen, before that...I need to apologize to you. I kind of wish Haruka was here too, but..."

He stared out at the trees on his side. "A lot of what's been going on recently, I've felt very detached from, because you two and Hana...all three of you are special. All three of you got to remember what happened two months ago, or at least somewhat. I didn't get that at all until Seph finally told me." He kicked the tree a little with the back of his foot. "I got really jealous of you two because even though I know you're both hurting...you still got gifted with things that let you work towards the future, while I was stuck behind like an old fogey." He frowned, now staring at the ground. "Sometimes I felt like I was wasting both of you guys' time by being around, especially now that you two are a couple. The fact that you two were working together, even through all the pain you're going through...I dunno, I guess it feels like you don't need me."

Satoshi bit his lip. This was hard to say, and yet even so, it had been on his mind for a while. "So I went and met Neu because I wanted to do something relevant for all of us. Find out what's going on, try to understand how the workings of her mind are. Everyone's got something that bothers them. For her...it's not having fun, apparently." He shook his head. "All she ever wanted to do was fight. That's the only thing that excites her, and she's more enthusiastic when she wins than when she loses, even when she says it doesn't matter. She's completely unbearable."

He kicked the ground. "But I still went through with it because I want you guys to have your friends back. I feel guilty that I'm the only one that still has his ties intact. I want to fix everything if I can help it, because the more I see you and Haruka like this, the more I hate myself." He sighed and sat down.

"And that's why I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I'm being a selfish jerk. I know you must hate me right now because I still have everything and you got everything ripped from you. It makes sense if you want nothing to do with me because of that." He closed his eyes. "So if you want me to just not come back to the Manor for a while...just tell me now."

Cherry:
Yugure almost broke her phone, gripping it as tightly as one would need to strangle a man. This must've been some kind of joke. Hate was far too strong a word, but extreme irritation would best describe what she felt. He gets to keep everything, she lost everything for doing absolutely nothing but try to make things right. All things about Neu's personality - motives, they all pissed her off! She didn't care, that woman took her precious Royals and Shadows - Ahmes and Yunos - for little reason! Grinding teeth, Yukino almost exploded. ... It took a few seconds to calm down though, none of this was Satoshi's fault. He was only trying to keep up and do what he thought was right.

Though it was still infuriating, she didn't yell.

"You don't have anything to apologize for, dork", the woman began. "You haven't been selfish nor a jerk."

Short, yet true were the words of the emotionally challenged queen.

"You can come to the manor whenever you want. Let's go meet with Hana and Miyuki."

Beryl:
Satoshi shrugged. That still wasn't the vibe he was getting from Yukino, but it was her choice to not lash out and still have him around. In the meantime, it did seem like a good idea to meet up with Hana and Miyuki.

"Yeah, let's go, then..." He started walking in the direction of town, assuming she wanted to walk by herself.

Lance Korilum:
There was quite a lot on Cero's mind.  Although his drive and determination had returned, he still knew he lacked the strength to prove that woman wrong.  She believed anyone who didn't play Vanguard for fun was wrong, and mocked those that desired strength...  There was no issue playing for your own entertainment, but what she did was simply infuriating.  Cero needed more strength....  The strength to defeat the woman and show her what his Vanguard truly was...  He walked though the forest, the place where his drive had been re-ignited, in hopes it would help calm his mind...  Another issue he had was that of a new rival.  Rivals were what gave him excitement, what made Vanguard "fun" to him, and lacking any made it empty.  Who could he select as his new rival?  Far too few people had the strength to actually match the King.  Jellal, perhaps?  ....  If he could find him.  They hadn't met at all outside of the semi-finals in nationals.  So if not him, who?

Jello:
After escaping the clutches of the Espoir Household, and getting several pictures taken by the staff, Haruka and Yukino make their way to the restaurant near the forest.

It was a bit more than Haruka expected himself. There were fancy chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling and candlelit tables everywhere and the finest cuisine Haruka had ever seen. They got in to be greeted by a host immediately. Once notifying them of the reservation, they were given a seat farther off towards a large window with a view of the area.

Lovely.

As they were seated, they were given a good bit of time to decide on their orders.

"So, Yukino... What're you thinking of having?"

Yeah, good one Haruka... Man up already!

Haruka was giving all of his attention to Yukino, but at the same time he had to bolster courage to spit out those three little words. This was the ultimate challenge.
