Leos's Room (Misaki)
-...? Elma's voice...-
-...-
"...No, don't apologize."
-It's obviously important...-
-Misaki actually seems a bit rough. Not in great shape...-
-She looks over at Leos before moving away from the door so she can walk in.-
—
Aichi's Room (Aichi)
-...Well...-
"...I know it's not my place to tell anyone, but I... I'm worried about Misaki..."
-...Just tell her, Aichi...-
"...I don't know the whole story, but... this isn't the first time Misaki's lost someone..."
-Unlike himself, Misaki has lost someone before...-
-...And Aichi's not entirely sure she ever got to really cope with it... The way she broke down during that cardfight with him...-
-Even if she seemed to recover from it, it wouldn't have erased all of that pain she had been holding back for all of those years...-

-The woman steps in, looking around-
"A businesswoman with a laptop told me this was your room."
-Sounds like that Misha lady-
"My mimeosome was damaged during the fight, so it's at the clinic. Alexa's fine, L got a few scrapes...and..."
-She pauses for a few seconds-
"...Cross's won't come back online."
Leos's Room (Misaki)
-...-
-...It's... just as she feared then...-
-Cross wasn't able to get lucky a second time...-
-Her head is lowered, and now it's her turn to have her eyes blocked by her bangs for once.-
"..."
—
Aichi's Room (Aichi)
-...-
"...Her parents... they were in an accident when she was a little kid..."
-...She lost her parents...-
"...Shin told me and Kamui about it after Misaki... got really upset one time..."
-He wasn't really sure how to describe how she was then. She was crying, she told them she was giving up Vanguard, and then she wouldn't see them or anyone else...-
-Shin took the time to explain it to the both of them after she had left, as they had naturally been extremely concerned.-
-Neither of them had any idea of that...-
-Aichi's not a psychological expert, but he's worried that Misaki never really got to heal from it all.-
-...And for Cross to die...-
"...It... must have opened wounds... and her memory..."
-...Sthesia, you remember when Aichi told you that she has a 'perfect memory', right?-
"...Her eidetic memory..."
-She remembers her parents' death and how it made her feel clearly to this day.-
-She's going to remember all of this as well.-
-All of it's going to remain, burned into her mind until the day she dies.-

Leos's Room (Misaki)
-...-
"...Leos..."
-It's not... Leos didn't intend for...-
-...?-
-...Is she crying...?-
-...However, before anyone can get a better look, she turns around.-
-...It's clear. She doesn't want anyone to see her crying, and it's not like she can just leave the room (Elma's too close to the door, and it'd just make things more awkward for everyone involved).-
—
Aichi's Room (Aichi)
-So...-
"...I... I know I shouldn't be making assumptions about her..."
-...Especially not talking about her behind her back...-
"...But I'm worried..."
-He wants to support her... to help her, but...-
-...What can he do...? He's never comforted someone about something like this, and the last time she got like this she ended up completely cutting herself off from everyone.-
-She even avoided Shin, and he's family...-
"...What can I— no, what can we do...?"
-She needs support, but she'll push them away...-
-Sthesia, you can tell that Aichi's extremely worried about her... He's struggling with feelings of grief of his own, but he's wanting to put Misaki before himself and his feelings.-
"..."
-Elma looks away from Misaki out of respect for her obviously trying to hide her tears-
"Cross...was a BLADE. He knew the risks of the job. It isn't your fault...I wanted to ask about something."
-The now-obvious-alien pulls something out of her pocket...a singed deck of Vanguard cards?-
"We found these on Cross's mimeosome. It's not a game from our world so we were hoping somebody could explain why he had them?"
Leos's Room (Misaki)
-Misaki freezes when she hears that.-
-She doesn't even have to see what kind of deck it is to know...-
"...Aichi..."
-...Aichi had told her that Cross talked about having Aichi teach him how to play...-
-...Leos, you remember that conversation, right...?-
—
Aichi's Room (Aichi)
-...Just be there for her...-
-...Maybe that's all they can do...-
"...Yeah... I guess you're right..."
-He still seems uncertain, but he understands that it's all they can do.-

Leos's Room (Leos)
(Leos looks confusedly at Misaki, but is somewhat curious about whoever's at the door.)
...Colonel Elma?
Aichi's Room (Sthesia)
... I won't, Aichi.
