[Happy New Year Event]

[duelacademynpcs]

*Today's the first of the new year. It's pretty chilly outside, but the cold is no excuse to not partake in normal traditions like going to a shrine and praying for a good year.

So, there's a shrine in Domino. Maybe not as extensive as some outside of the city, but it's fairly nice, and it's pretty much bustling given the day. There's some stalls set up serving some Seasonally Appropriate Foods as well. You can go up and give an offering at the shrine itself, or go and pull a fortune from the omikuji.

Also girls and those otherwise who may want to do so might want to wear a kimono, if they have one. It's traditional.*

Yeah, you're right. They'd be the ones he'd most likely turn to right now, but if they haven't remembered, and he feels too confused to turn to us...
... I guess I'll just have to figure out a way to get through to him somehow.

Hnmmm... *... she bops her fist into her hand.* I got it, then. I'll try to talk to Ruri and Kurosaki. Worst case, they might not remember anything... But best case scenario, maybe there's some miscommunication going on, and someone needs to get them to understand. Kurosaki especially is really... *... she doesn't want to say something really rude about him.* Prickly, but I can handle him. I think either way, they'll be the best way to get through to him so he can work past this. Even if they don't remember, they're his friends, right? Friends should be there for each other. Until then though... you should try to figure out ways to be with him. Make up excuses so he can't just hide away somewhere. He can't avoid being in the same place as you forever, right?

[pendulum_soul]

Yeah. Yeah, you're right! It's worth a try! Hopefully at least one of them remembers something and can help him!

And I'll try my best to do what I can to be with him. It's been a little difficult as he's mostly been hiding in his room, but you're right that he can't avoid me forever!

*At least Yuya seems a little more positive about the situation now!*

[melodiousmaestra]

See! There you go. It's not all doom and gloom, now is it? *she laughs a little, but it gradually goes a little... nervous.* Say, uh... Yuya? You didn't happen to remember anything else recently, right?

[pendulum_soul]

Anything else?

*He looks at her curiously.*

What kind of 'anything else'? Is it something you've remembered?

[melodiousmaestra]

O-oh, no, of course not! Just was wondering if anything else was on your mind, that's all. *definitely a nice save, yep, there's no way he can tell. She gets up.* Still, there's all of the shrine to still check out, right?

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya stands up too and smiles at her, before leaning in and giving her a small hug.*

Thanks for the talk, Yuzu. I really needed it.

*Suddenly, a flash of a memory enters Yuya's mind, of himself and Yuzu parting ways at the Wonder Quartet.
And a goodbye kiss that he'd forgotten.

As he remembered it, his body goes slightly tense, just for a small second, he then slowly breaks the hug, looking at Yuzu as if he's just realised something.



He then quickly attempts to compose himself when he realises he's staring.*

Ah, right! Yes! Shrine! We should go and check that out!

[melodiousmaestra]

*she was enjoying that hug, but then she got so worried for a moment. when he changes the subject, she just decides to roll with it before she feels like her head is gonna pop* Y-yeah! Shrine! Then we can look at the stalls that're around, too! T-that is, if you want? You feeling up for it?

[pendulum_soul]

Ah! Sure! I think that's a great idea! Maybe they have some good food too!
