Yui assisted Mizuki in transferring to the couch and clambered up beside her. "I think we're all afraid for the future, but that's why we fight our hardest in the present." To protect their destiny, to walk the paths that they wanted to pave for themselves and not the one anyone else had carved. It seems the others had been busy rounding up snacks and when they at last arrived, Yui was eager to watch the movie. She moved onto Aria's lap so that there was room for all of them on the couch together. Mina was notably absent, although it should have come as no surprise considering all that had happened earlier in the evening. "It isn't as musical as the others," Yui noted, seeing as to how there was no opening song or fantastically animated choreography. Still, Yui managed to enjoy it up until the point where she fell asleep.
"I'll take her to bed," Xavier volunteered, lifting Yui up so that her mumbling didn't interrupt the others. He tucked Yui into bed and returned to finish the movie. Damian was fully engrossed, his arms wrapped around the bowl of popcorn as he waited to see what fate beheld those for the characters in the movie. Ally cried at almost every turn, having lost her Mother at a young age, she related to the movie in a deeply personal way. Xavier simply thought it to be a most entertaining topic and was engaged in the events of the Mother that had turned into a bear and the child who had almost as good a shot with a bow as Jenny had with a gun. Meanwhile, as Yui slept, her dreams took a strange turn and with no Ally to guide them, there was no one to stop it from turning bad.
"You're such a special little girl, you don't even know it yet." Yui looked up at the woman speaking to her. She had warm eyes and a smile that lit up the room. Kimiko Hemond was as vibrant as her daughter, who was watching her Mother with a certain enthrallment. In Kimiko's arms was a book with a blue cover and a little girl on the front, reaching up to the stars. "Read," the baby Hemond demanded, reaching up for the book. "No, you've already had your story for tonight. It's time to sleep now," Kimiko drew up the covers to Yui's shoulders and kissed her forehead. "Don't go," Yui begged, holding onto her hand. "Please don't leave me," Kimiko quirked a brow, when she laughed it was as light as a bird. "My special girl, I'll be back in the morning," Kimiko promised; but Yui knew that as soon as she stepped out that door she would never come back.
Time ticked on, when the door opened once more it was Ira Shoku who stepped inside. Yui was no longer in a child's bedroom but in a laboratory, wearing nothing but a thin white paper gown. "Ronan, you've been a bad boy." Shoku's hand stroked Yui's spine and the child shivered, attempting to disappear. "And you know what that means," the Ronan before her had black hair and blue eyes that twinkled with fury. His light bearing mark was still white, a stark contrast to the boy he was now. "Don't hurt her," Ronan threatened. "Or I'll hurt you," Shoku laughed. "Brave words coming from a coward, I'm afraid your punishment for your disobedience will be dealt by your own hand." He beckoned Ronan forward and handed him the whip.
"Don't do this," Yui whimpered, hearing the crackle of the electricity. "I'm not going to hurt my own sister!" Ronan yelled, tossing the whip as far away from himself as possible. "If you continue to disobey me, I'll make sure that the punishment is even worse."
"I-I'm sorry Loretta," Ronan raised his hand, the whip shaking in his grip. "I'll make it quick-"
Yui bolted upright in bed, breathing hard. She slipped off of the mattress and silently padded across the floor, making her way to the kitchen in order to wait for Mizuki.
