(GS3) Field: Forest
Crystalia:
Miyuki wasn't sure how long she'd been sitting there exactly. Her sense of time had been skewed, and it felt like her brain had stopped working. All she could do was sit there, and remind herself that Hana was gone. That it was something that she might have been able to prevent, but didn't. She tried to collect herself several times, to calm herself down, but it didn't work. The most she was able to do was prevent herself from completely breaking down and crying, but it was close.
In her head, part of her was still trying to encourage her. 'Giving up won't solve anything. Nothing will change if you act like this'. But she couldn't bring herself to listen to those words. The feeling of failure kept hammering into her, she could picture Hana just vanishing in her mind, tears streaking down her eyes. She just lay there, against a tree, trying not to cry. Voices in her head cried out in protest, but she was too far gone to listen to them.
Lance Korilum:
After realizing there was no point in being at the beach, Cero decided to walk through the woods yet again... There was no real reason for him to stay in Japan until his building was completed at this point. He'd never be able to get stronger if things kept going on like this, which just made him infuriated... Deciding that now was the time to return to Europe, he set out for the airport. However, as soon as he came to this decision, he noticed someone leaning against a tree... Miyuki, broken. Just like he had been. Cero sighed, realizing he couldn't return to Europe just yet. First, he'd repay this debt... Next, he'd bring back his old rival.
Cero walked up to Miyuki, and said two simple words: "Stand up."
Crystalia:
Miyuki wasn't sure exactly how long she'd been there. It had gotten dark, and colder, but she couldn't tell the exact length of time. She could see someone standing far away. Or perhaps they were close by, she couldn't quite tell. She glanced at them blankly, and vaguely recognised it to be Cero. 'Oh yeah he broke down here a few days ago'. The thought ran through her head, and then vanished again, like all her thoughts right now.
'Stand up.' She heard those words from him. 'Um what' ran through her head. Was this some kind of pity thing? Or maybe he was trying to repay her for the other day. Not that she had even done much the other day. Still, why would she stand up? It was more comfortable to lean against the tree, not that it mattered. Her vision was starting to blur anyway. It seemed like just staying in the forest for hours, without any warm clothing wasn't the best thing for one's health.
In the end, all she got out was one word. 'Why?' That was all she said, as she continued to lean against the tree.
Lance Korilum:
"To just sit there is to accept failure. I don't know what caused this, nor does it matter. What matters is that you Stand Up, here and now, in the face of adversity. No matter what the obstacle, no matter what the loss, no matter what the problem, Stand Up against it," Cero shouted, offering Miyuki his hand to help her up. "If you can't Stand Up, you have no right to call yourself a Vanguard fighter! Stand Up because that's what a Vanguard Fighter does! Even when all Hope has abandoned you, don't abandon yourself. Call out with your Soul, and don't give up! Even if the Damage seems irreversible, a miracle can be Triggered! If you've lost something, you can't find it by Resting, you have to Seek it for yourself! To let yourself slow down... Well, that would just be an insult to your feelings up to now, wouldn't it? Now tell me, are you just going to continue sitting there?"
Crystalia:
'I don't even' was all she thought. Whilst it was nice of him to try and help her, her problem was not vanguard related. Well not directly at least. Although it would probably still cause her pain or guilt to play it anyway. In the end, she knew she couldn't accept it. As possibly inspirational as the speech was meant to be, it didn't help with her problem.
'Although, I'll admit that staying here too much longer would be a problem' she thought. Her vision had been blurring a minute ago, and she felt slightly dizzy. In the end, she took the offered hand, but not in the way he probably intended it. 'I'm sorry, but vanguard is not the problem. Thank you for trying to help anyway.' She said that as best she could, trying to hide how she felt. With that she turned away, to walk back to the city. Perhaps she was being weak, but it was all she could do right now.
