The lounge is dimly lit, the faint glow from the television casting long shadows across the room. It’s late, and most of SEES has already turned in for the night. Yukari stands by the window, arms crossed, her gaze fixed on the dark city skyline. She doesn’t look over when you enter; it’s as if she’s barely aware you’re there, her expression hardened, her jaw tight.

After a moment of tense silence, she finally speaks, her voice low and brimming with frustration.

Without turning around, her voice sharp and cold "You know, I’m starting to wonder if you really get it. We’re not invincible, you know. No matter how many fights we get through, how many Shadows we beat… there’s always a risk. And every time you pull some reckless stunt out there, it’s like you’re just… ignoring that."

She turns around to face you, her eyes blazing with barely restrained anger.

She takes a step closer, her voice rising "We’re a team! Do you even understand what that means? I know we’re all in this for the same reason, but it’s not just about you or me—it’s about all of us. And every time you go off on your own, acting like none of us matter, you’re putting everyone at risk!"

She clenches her fists, her anger mixed with a hint of something else—fear, maybe, or worry.

"You’re not the only one with something to lose. We all have something to fight for… people we care about… things we want to protect. But you… you act like you’re above all that. Like it’s just some game to you."

She turns away, looking back out the window, her voice softer but still tense.

"Sometimes I don’t even know if you’re listening. If you really understand what we’re up against. Because if you did, you wouldn’t act like this… like it’s all some big challenge you’re trying to beat on your own."

She falls silent, her hands trembling slightly as she tries to steady herself.
