[ The time is drawing near. Tonight someone may die and Sora has to make one last attempt to reach Yusuke. He knows the other hasn't eaten anything that he's brought and it's just wasting food. Sora doesn't know if the pantry restocks yet or if these are all the supplies they have. So he brings a pan, with a can of baked beans sitting inside along with a can opener and spoon. Just in case Yusuke needs them. He'd leave a fresh fish too but...
This is the time where Sora moves to sit in front of the door, back pressed against it. His tone is somber, there's a weight behind it that says he's tired and feeling useless. ]
Someone's going to die tonight. Someone's going to die and I don't know how to stop it. I never know how to stop it. I don't like feeling helpless, being unable to do anything to save someone I care about. It's always been the worst part of all of this - of these stupid games and my time at the Facility.
Hearts break. I know mine's come close before. It would have if it hadn't been for Axel. There were... so many people dead and a lot of them were my friends. People I cared about. But all it took was one person reaching out to me to keep me from falling.
[ His head thunks against the door. ]
Don't shut us out, Yusuke. Let yourself reach back for that person who's trying to save you. Maybe we don't know each other very well because our memories are all missing but my heart is screaming at me to help you. It has been since we met on the ship.
So I'm going to see you tomorrow. Even if I have to break in to do it.
[ Sora gets up from the ground and dusts himself off, looking at the still shut door. ]
[Yusuke is aware of it all, every word spoken at his door, every text, all of it. He's curled on the bed in a fetal position, head clutched in both hands and his eyes squeezed shut against the threat of tears. It's not just Sora's words haunting him night and day, leaving him unable to sleep. There's another voice, dark and heavy as grave soil, whispering into his thoughts.
He's the only one who really cares, the only one you can trust... well, maybe. But you can't know for certain. You can't be certain about anything anymore, can you? So much betrayal, so many lies....
Stop it....
And even if he does care, he'll die anyway. Goro's dead... oh, but his body's walking around! That's hell on your heart, isn't it? Soon, Sora will be doing the same and then who will you have? You can't help anyone, can you?
Stop it... go away....
You're useless. Broken. Vanitas will laugh at you. Sky will laugh at you. You can't fight back against them, you're too weak.
Go away....
Wouldn't it be easier to simply... let go?
He curls up tighter, tucking skinny limbs in until his joints crack, his ribs ache, his heart screams.

See you later.
Not... entirely here?

But he still doesn't call out to Sora.]
