Rewriting The Threads Of Fate

Overflowing Problems

"Yuma, what is all of this?"

Yup, that was it he was exposed. Or... He could lie again? Why is his life so unfortunate?

"Hello, uhh dad and Raymond! I was just drawing here..."

That was partly a lie, he did draw a bit but the rest were writings.

"Yuma, for the past few days you were acting weird. You look sad, you lie to me, and now you're hiding things. I'm worried, son." Yugo said bending down to pick up Yuma's papers

Yuma widened his eyes at the sudden movement, he reached for the paper his father took.

But Yugo looked at the paper

"Is it really possible I got sent here by Horati-" before he could finish Yuma took the paper, Looking at his father with a fearful face.

"Yuma, you can talk to us whenever you need help," Raymond assured him

'Yuma is being unusually private...' both Raymond and Yugo thought

"That's the thing, I don't need any help, I can deal with this problem myself."

Raymond and Yugo were shocked by Yuma's words, they glanced at each other, neither of them know what to say.

Yuma felt bad for being so private to his dad. His plan was after making sure his father would not die, he could open up to him, tell him everything he wanted to tell him. He just had to be patient and wait, stay focused on the plan.

"Raymond, Dad, please..." Yuma pleaded with both of them to leave him alone for the moment.

Finally, Yugo and Raymond gave in to Yuma's pleading and left his room.

Yuma sighed in relief and laid down on the floor, papers still scattered on the floor.

"Yuma, what are these?"

Yuma jolted up in fear, Replica was activated, meaning he could tell Yugo what he has been writing.

Replica hovered over his writings, reading them.

Yuma sighed in defeat, "Replica please don't tell dad..." The boy asked

"I cannot promise that Yuma" The trion soldier replied

"Please, just this one promise!" Yuma begged

"Fine, but if I really have to tell him, I'm telling Yugo.

Yuma hugged Replica and thanked him very much, Yuma knew he wasn't lying. His side effect Yugo gave him was still there. Oh and, the ring as well, still stuck on Yuma's hand though he hid it well with gloves.

Jin was just plain confused and frustrated, how could he not foresee this situation? He was mad himself.

While Jin was there mentally cursing himself, Osamu was interrogating Kitazoe, the gunner from Kageura squad in case there were any leads.

"I just took off after I dropped him off, not looking back but I did happen to almost be blinded by a light shining behind me, I thought it was just a car so I brushed it off," Kitazoe explained, "I have no idea where he went."

Osamu was focused on the light that Kitazoe mentioned. Although it's not a strong lead, there might be a catch to it.

A lot of people do not know where Yuma is, that's gonna such a big problem.

It was nighttime, Chika was on her way back to Tamakoma Branch. As she was taking a walk through the city, she heard whispers, like it was some sort of stupid rumor spreading like wildfire again.
