Who: raidraptors, ridethathippo and faestra
When: Backdated to the evening of 11/23, after the 'rescue mission'
Where: Yuya and Yuzu's place
What: Yuya wants to talk Plot with Shun. Shun wants to grill Yuya over whatever the hell happened to Yuto. Yuzu may or may not have to attempt refereeing. Clearly, this will not end in disaster.
Rating/Warning: Spoilers up to Arc-V episode 37, otherwise this will probably stay civil? Mostly?
[Shun has no doubt that most participants of that disaster of a 'rescue mission' probably consider the day wasted – even after splitting from his group, he had kept an eye on his cerevice, and since there hadn't been any messages about rescued people from any of the districts...
In any case, Shun himself considers it somewhat fruitful – he has a better handle on the layout of the tech district and first insights on how secure CERES keeps their key buildings. If he needs to strike at them, he know has a starting point to angle his attack from. Still, even while observing the Research Building, his mind had constantly wandered back to his conversation with Sakaki, to things implied, to the mystery of Yuuto's fate.
Rationally he knows that having confirmation about whatever happened to Yuuto won't change anything – he can't do anything to help him from here, not while they are stuck, but. Two days of unexplainable radio silence in Standard and nearly a month stuck doing nothing in Cerealia are weighting heavy on Shun's patience, especially now knowing that Sakaki did see something that night.
Sakaki had told that they would talk once he was better, but Shun is done waiting. Which is exactly why he's showing up on the other's doorstep sometimes in the evening, announcing himself with three hard knocks to the door.]

... Alone with Shun again.
damn it!!She should probably say something this time. But what? Uh.]Take your time. He'll probably be busy with that for a bit.
[and she will just hover vaguely nearby to be there if he needs her, though the odds of that seem slim. As an afterthought, she gestures to a chair.]
Have a seat if you want. [She'll take the couch, regardless]

mad ygo!card snatch skills activate, then turns it to face him. He is only barely concerned of the look Yuya shoots him, tuning out both him and Hiiragi for the most part as he studies the card.There is absolutely no doubt that it's the real thing; Shun has seen it often enough, has heard it roar, has witnessed it tear into their enemies at Yuto's command. (Has seen Yuto changed, angry and hellbent at destroying anyone in their path with this very Dragon at his back.)
He would be within rights to challenge Sakaki to duel for it. Hell, he would be within rights to just take it – Yuto was his friend, was his comrade, was one of Resistance and so is Dark Rebellion. By right, this card belongs with them, even if Yuto isn't anymore.
Still... 'Duel with smiles' is what Yuto said according to Sakaki, and Shun has known Yuto long enough to know that likely true. He remembers Ruri and Yuto talking, remembers listening to dreams for the future, their hope for a Heartland that will no longer know conflict.
A Heartland that will have peace and laughter and smiles, like the ones of their childhoods.
A lifetime ago, they were careless, unafraid and innocent. The war changed them all, stripped them of carelessness and innocence and taught them that some fears keep you alive, so they adapted to them the moment they realized that survival is what matters most. Shun doesn't think that any of that can ever be forgotten, that they'll ever return to who they used to be. It doesn't matter now, because Yuto and Ruri are both far, far, gone and Shun can only cling to hoping that he'll find a way to return them both.
Come what may, even gone beyond his reach, even taken by his enemy, he will never abandon his comrades. This is what Shun believes in.
Still, maybe he has to let this one go... even before Standard, Yuto had been tired of the fighting, had wanted to just stop hurting people – not that he'd ever truly wanted to hurt anyone in first place, but-
He remembers Yuto's quiet voice, remembers clenching hands and the look of dismay on his face as he had declared "I don't want to hurt anyone anymore." the first time, knowing that there is a difference between the things they want and the things that need doing, knowing that for all what he may say, chances are his next duel will bring harm to someone, because there's no alternative, not for them.
There is an alternative now, for Dark Rebellion at very least. Someone who may be able to use this card and wear the smile that Yuto lost three years ago.
It takes until what almost might seem an eternity for Shun to come to a decision and finally start moving again, taking the step towards the couch table to place Dark Rebellion down before he turns towards the door.
His business here is done.]
