[Yuya takes bites of his own omelette as she's speaking, though his eyes drift downward as she continues. At first, he wonders if this is partly his fault, but to bring up the gods... even though it was months ago, he still remembers the face Yusei made upon hearing the news. He'd never seen him look so angry, so betrayed. Plus, he and Yusei were of the same mind when it came to Yuzu joining the gods.]
Umm... [He hesitates, fork in mouth. His shoulders slump as he finally puts it back on the plate.] Well, that's no surprise. He was really hurt when I told him.
[Blunt. He's not always the best at tact when he's feeling awkward.]
It looks like he has his own reasons for that, but... that was months ago. And this is the first time you've talked since then....
[This seems like it could have been avoided if they had faced each other earlier!!! But okay. He can figure this out, hopefully without completely taking Yusei's side. Even though this reads to his gut as ugh, exactly what Yuzu pulled with me... He's supposed to be Yuzu's best friend, after all. (He denied the kiss so he could be the friend she needs, he'd damn well better do a good job at it or he'll just have no credibility when he finally gives her his letter!) ....He totally finished his omelette while he was mulling it over. At least it was a small one, and this allows him to put the plate aside and scoot in a little closer.]
I think ... it was wrong of him to start things off on that foot. But I don't know if all of that means he's giving up on your friendship because of what you did. He's been through way worse, right?
[Actually, Yuya's certain of this. From the few things he's told them, but even more from what Yuya knows that he keeps inside. His brow furrows, decisive now.]
