Day 390 | Closed to the Kuran Apartment and Neighbors
[Closed to Haruka]

[To be honest, Yuuki slept soundly the entire night through. Probably for the first time in a long time. The day before had something to do with it. Her emotions had been so raw, and by the evening they had worn her out, probably long before her father had felt sleep tug at him. For him, sleeping through the night had probably been strange. But hopefully, after a day of staying awake, the sands of sleep weighed down his eyelids too as he drifted off.

But it's no surprise that as the sun peaks through her drawn blinds, Yuuki's eyes pop open, and once awake, she can't go back to sleep. So instead, she studies the face of her father as he sleeps peacefully. The smooth, beautiful features, eternally young, like a flower forever in bloom even three thousand years later. His appearance is so strikingly similar to that person. To Kaname. The urge to reach out and touch him is strong, but she doesn't. It isn't her brother. It's her father, who loves and even died for her, and she will forever love him as only a daughter can.

Her patience though can barely wait for him to stir. His anklet should have fallen off during sleep, though she doesn't disturb the blankets to check. Instead, she slides off the side of the bed and onto her knees, and props her chin atop her hands upon the mattress and waits. And waits. It's only now, with the monitor off, that she knows he'll get the full confirmation that he needs and wants. That she is truly his daughter.

And so she can wait expectantly.

But if it should take too long, it's really no surprise if she just... happens to reach out and tickle his nose, before her hands disappear quickly, back beneath her chin.

Good morning...]

[Cooking Breakfast]

[The house has expanded, but it's nothing she can't handle! Apron in place, she has one hand on her hip and a mixing spoon in hand as she faces off with the stove top. Now that her father and daughter are here, plus Zero, it's a full house. And she figures that while he usually does most the cooking in the morning, she can do her part too. Especially because, whether desired or not, the two children next door are over for breakfast too. Both should definitely feel as though they're just an extension to the family.]

All right...! It'll be pancakes, eggs, and cut fruit for everyone!

[But maybe someone should help her as she burns through her second batch of pancakes.]

[Breakfast]

[Everyone is gathered to the table, and okay this is fun...!]

Everyone dig in! [Half the food has been cooked by her. And the other half is whatever someone managed to rescue from her. But she's sure everyone will enjoy the pancake shapes and faces she made. Like Ai's pancake. Everyone is free to stare uncertainly at their food (rude), make awkward small talk, or maybe suggest a game to get to know one another.]

[Wildcard

[Maybe everyone leaves to go shopping? Want to interact one-on-one with someone, or something different? Do whatever you like, it's an apartment mingle.]

[Not today, that's for sure. Mika is too cautious of everyone and too protective of Yuu and he's taking it out on Zero - he knows that.

There isn't really anything left to say about this "Spike" person but he's reluctant to leave the kitchen to go find Yuu. So his eyes slide to the side to focus in on... a cabinet. He chews on his bottom lip, not entirely careful with his fangs until he's already poked a hole in himself but Mika doesn't seem to care about that either.

There is one question but he's not sure he should ask it. So he stays quiet for a long time. Long enough Zero might have turned back to his task of making drinks by the time Mika decides it's okay to ask to the back of the hunter's head.] Do you think the wardens could make me human without the whole ankle thing?

[A pause where he inhales deeply.] Do you think they would?

[Zero really does (initially) go back to the drinks, if only because he wasn't going to try and persist with Mika. And yet when the boy does speak again, it's a question that perhaps he could have seen coming. One that he truly wishes he had a better answer for.]

There's the possibility that it's within their capabilities, but no. They wouldn't. Just as they won't give someone their memories so they could 'catch up' to a time point someone else from their home may be at.

[His hand tightens around the cup he's holding. He doesn't seem to realize just how tight until a crack can be heard. Any further and it would have completely shattered. At the least it was empty.]

I'm sorry that I can't give you the answers you're wanting to hear.

[He listens to the answer, not liking it at all because they can do it they just wouldn't. If he was holding something he could break, it'd be broken. Instead Mika settles for a heavy sigh.]

Figured as much. Not like I have any they'd want in return anyway.

[Nothing they don't already have. Mika would give up anything... anything but Yuu.

Blue eyes look up at the cracking of glass but he doesn't say anything in response to that bit.]

It's fine. It isn't your fault.

I know.

[He carefully makes his way to the trash bin to dispose of the glass. It really wouldn't have done any good if he were to cut himself.]

But I feel bad, anyway. You've been through enough, and deserve something nice for once. Although I'm glad you have Yuu.

[He doesn't need to state the obvious of how Mika should hold onto that with all he's got, and for Yuu to do so in turn. They already do.]

[It's good that there isn't an injury, then there's no blood and Mika doesn't have to worry about what he'd do. He isn't thirsty so maybe it would be okay this time.]

I don't want Yuu-chan to be here. [Mika admits quietly.] He'd escaped to the outside world and now he's trapped again.

Yuu-chan is... [A pause as he considers his next words carefully.] Yuu-chan is better off living under the sun. He shines brighter and burns hotter and so he shouldn't be buried underground or underwater. Even when it was so dark, we could all look to Yuu-chan and feel better.

But he's already here, now, right? You should embrace that all the same.

[As Zero could say similarly about Yuuki. She doesn't belong here, but since she is, he isn't going to let that go. Not even a second will he take her for granted.

It does take a bit of effort at the starts for Zero to not reply to those words with how, yes, he thinks the very same of Yuuki.]

This place still shouldn't exist at all.

I know that.

[He's never going to fully push Yuu away again. They've done that once and even if Mika tries, his friend will be extremely stubborn about it this time. But as long as they're here together, Mika is going to do everything to protect the last of his family. Even if it means protecting the other boy from him.

Mika lets his head drop to rest on his arms, speaking into his own curled form.]

People who do bad things deserve to go to prison. [He fully believes he deserves to be here.]

[Mika's actions do say far more than his words. To a degree Zero wonders if he's fully aware of that.]

If you say that, then a majority - if not all - of us do not deserve to be here.

[He sounds more harsh than he means to.]

Not you, not Yuu, not me, Yuuki, Ai. . . Even those who are dead back home, or close to it, have been brought to this place. Such as my brother.

[He adds the latter without much thought.]

They don't look at the details of our crimes, Mika; they hardly care about context. None of it. I was listed for murder on [many] multiple accounts because of what I do for a job. Another was for being late to school, and not returning a book to the library on time. Even the smallest of white lies is something they would count.
