---

[To be honest, Anna wasn’t even sure what she was doing. As she made her way toward the entertainment district, there was only a somber look on her face. All she wanted to do was to make Yuto happy and even she knew that she was only playing a distraction. His friend was gone and there was nothing they could do about it.

At least, not right now anyway. Anna didn’t want to give up thinking about her sister just yet.

But with a heavy sigh and a proud smile on her face, she marched right up to the district to find a certain purple haired boy. Of course, once she does though?]

Hey, Yuto, is that you? I can see you a mile away with that hair style!

Comments

[darkduelist]

_{[Again with his hairstyle? A soft sigh escapes his lips, before Yuto turns around and walks up to Anna. He doesn't look amused, but he is going to just pretend he never heard her comment.]}

Yes, it's me.

_{[Well, at least he looks a little less depressed than he was before.]}

[sjokolade]

[Although, now that she got closer to him, a smile appeared on her face]

Then it's finally nice to meet you in person! You certainly look a lot different from when I saw you on the screen.

[...] Or maybe because you don't look quite as sad now.

[darkduelist]

<sub>[Yuto gives her a slightly confused look. Does he really look that different? He doubts that.

But still...]</sub>

Before our meeting I spoke to a few people...

_{[Talking to them apparently helped.]}

[sjokolade]

Oh really? Mind if I ask what did they tell you?

[She didn't mean to pry but she was curious. And besides, maybe they helped him a lot better than she could]

Maybe I’ll have to treat them to ice cream too for helping you out!

[darkduelist]

_{[He looks at her for a moment, then averts his gaze.]}

It... wasn't anything special. I guess it helped because they were people I know.

_{[They reminded him that he isn't alone.]}

[sjokolade]

[For a moment, Anna didn't really respond back to him. Instead, she just smiled at him before a chuckle was heard]

Then I'm glad that they could. To be honest, I got a little worried about you back there. I mean, I didn't really know how else I could help you when my own sister isn't even here anymore.

[darkduelist]

_{[And now it's his turn to stay silent for a moment.]}

...Do you always worry about people you only met?

[sjokolade]

[Blink blink]

You make it sound like it's a bad thing. I mean, I don't think so, it's always a good thing to help people out even if I know them or not.

[darkduelist]

I don't think it's a bad thing... just...

_{[People don't usually act like this?]}

I'm just... surprised, I guess.

[sjokolade]

Is it really?

[She kept on staring at Yuto before a sigh escaped her mouth]

I mean, isn't it a good thing to always try and help people though?

[darkduelist]

You're never wary of strangers?

_{[He is almost all the time.]}

[sjokolade]

Yeah, of course I am but I don't think I need to be worried about you though!

[And from there, Yuto could see Anna shifting her weight just a tad bit]

I mean, if I were, I don't think you would have mentioned that to me!

[darkduelist]

_[...]

But then again, you know nothing about me.

[sjokolade]

[You're really making this difficult, aren't you, Yuto? As she gave a sigh, she started to ponder a little]

Well, that is true. Is there anything you feel like telling me about yourself? And in return, I'll do the same! What do you think?

[You know you want to!]

[darkduelist]

_{[He shrugs.]}

I don't really have anything to say.

_{[He doubts you would want to listen how his hometown was destroyed and he had to do many things he isn't proud of, all in order to survive.]}

[sjokolade]

Oh c'mon, there's got to be something! Like what's your world like or what is your hometown or what did you do so far? Just anything!

[And here, Anna was trying his best to make him more outgoing!]

I promise I'm not going to laugh, really!

[darkduelist]

_{[Yuto's expression turns grim at her words. Things he has done, the tragedy of his hometown - none of this is something to laugh about.]}

I have nothing to tell you.

[sjokolade]

[While Anna's expression soured, a small frown shortly appeared afterwards. She didn't need to be told twice that whatever happened him, it probably wasn't good]

T-Then how about I talk more about what my world is like? Because it's an amazing place and it's really pretty during the winter! And especially with so many animals around too!

[Ahahahhaaaaaa....]

[darkduelist]

<sub>[He could probably tell her that his past is oh so very tragic and that's why he doesn't want to talk about it... On second thought, maybe not. It's best if he doesn't say anything.

He just listens to her now, doing only as much as giving her a nod. If she wants to talk about her world, then he doesn't mind.]</sub>

[sjokolade]

[And then with a clear voice, she placed her hands on her hips and gave him a smug smile]

Well then, have you heard of a place called Arendelle before? Because let me tell you, if you ever get a chance to visit there? It's definitely one of those places you won't ever forget!

But I'm being bias of course, I mean, I grew up there! You ever feel that way about your hometown?

[darkduelist]

I've never heard of a place called that.

<sub>[He doubts it exists anywhere in his world anyway.

His expression saddens visibly the moment she asks about his hometown. And for a moment he just wants to ignore her question, but then...]</sub>

I felt like that... long time ago.

_{[His city was once beautiful and full of life... then three years ago everything changed and all what was left from his beloved hometown was nothing, but ruins.]}

[sjokolade]

[And somehow, Anna had a feeling he didn't. She didn't show it but the silence made it clear that she was disappointed. Another person that wasn't from her homeworld...and yet, here she was.

Feeling lonely once more.

Either way, the sad smile was on her face. Although, it seemed a little forced.]

I'm guessing it's not there anymore, is it?

[darkduelist]

Why would you say that? Well, right now all our worlds are... not there, but everything will return to normal eventually. [Sadness flickers in his eyes for a second. If everything returns to normal he won't be around anymore.

Despite that thought, he continues.] ...Just because I haven't heard of your hometown it doesn't mean anything.

_{[Now it's his time to reassure her.]}

[sjokolade]

Well, not really that! It's just that I've told so many people about my hometown before and no one heard about it! It probably doesn't mean anything but it's just...kind of lonely.

[As she continued to mumble to herself, she knew feeling this way was a bad idea. And yet, she just couldn't]

S-Sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad too.

[darkduelist]

_{[He shakes his head after a moment.]}

You don't have to apologize... [He hesitates a moment.] In my case it's different. Some people know my hometown - Heartland... but it's not the same city that I know.

_{[It's not his Heartland, even if it's the same. It's how the city used to be in the past. So in a way that also feels lonely.]}

[sjokolade]

[How was Anna suppose to respond to that? As she grew silent, she mumbled to herself just a bit]

That kind of sucks. I don't know different it is from the city you once knew but I don't think I can imagine Arendelle being any different from how it is now.

I guess something bad must have happened huh?

[darkduelist]

_{[Again, it's not something that Yuto wants to talk about, but if she really has to know...]}

Worse than bad.

[This is all she's going to hear from him on that matter. He starts walking.]

...Weren't we supposed to go somewhere?

[sjokolade]

H-Huh? Oh right, I forgot, the ice cream! We better get there before it closes!

[And with that, she quickly marched straight toward the place. Although, with the way she was walking, it seemed as if she was trying to avoid the topic.

Or rather, maybe she was just embarrassed about forgetting it really.]

Any flavor you want to get though?

[darkduelist]

[Avoiding the topic works for Yuto. He just follows her without a word. He speaks again only after she asks the question.]

Anything is fine.

[He still isn't sure about those ice-cream, but it's better than talking about his hometown.]

[sjokolade]

Then I'll give you some rocky road! You like chocolate right?

[She said before narrowing her eyes on him and giving him a good look]

You seem like the type of person who might like it. Or maybe I should get something a bit more crazier for you to match your hair!

[darkduelist]

[For a few moment Anna gets only a blank stare from him.]

I still don't see how my hair is crazy.

[Anna, you must meet other ygos, then you'll understand his hair is normal.]

... But to answer your question - chocolate is fine.

[sjokolade]

Like I said, it's spiky and it's purple and it's natural! Now is it not? But at the same time, it's kind of pretty amazing too!

I don't think I'll ever see someone with hair like yours in the future!

[And just watch, she’ll totally jynx herself]

Then great! We’ll just order two chocolates for the both of us! And as if you know chocolate is totally the best flavor ever!

[...Why yes, she was still trying to cheer him up, what are you talking about?]

[darkduelist]

It's purple and black actually. [He doesn't even know why he's correcting her.] My cousin's hair is green and red so I don't know what's so amazing about mine.

[There's so much you haven't seen yet, Anna.]

If you say so.

[He doesn't know. In the warzone they didn't have ice-cream at all.]

[sjokolade]

[Hey, his hair is very interesting, weird Yu-Gi-Oh hair or not!]

...Okay, I can understand red but green? And it's completely natural? [A beat] I think your family just has weird hair color.

[either way, once she ordered said ice cream, she handed a cone to him] And there! Does that make you feel a little bit better?

[darkduelist]

[What would she say if she knew that Yuya wasn't actually Yuto's family?]

It is natural. And it's not only my family.

[Everybody has weird hair color where he's from.

He takes the ice-cream a bit hesitantly and looks at it, then back at her. He frowns a little more. It'll take more than ice-cream to make him feel better, but--]]

...Thank you.

[--It's the thought that counts, right?]
