Yu's POV:
As we venture closer to the bunker, we can just about hear a muffled voice. Yelling; banging on the door.
"What if it's a trap?" Teddie asks, standing behind me.
"Why would it be?" Naoto shrugs, wrapping her fingers around the handle.
"I'm with Teddie," I grunt. "It doesn't seem safe."
"I guess we'll find out then," Kanji mutters.
With a great heave, Naoto pulls open the trapdoor, taking a step back.
"No..." She whispers.
"Shin?"
"Hana!"
Shin rushes over to her; pulling her out of the bunker. She noticeably shivers at his touch. "What happened?" He asks.
She begins to cry. Actually cry.
"Don't cry," he coos, cradling her in his arms. "It's alright now."
"I'm sorry..." She murmurs. "I'm sorry, Shin... For everything..."
"It's okay," he sighs. "Don't even worry about that right now. You're freezing. Let's go warm up."
"What about Yosuke?" I scoff, pointing backwards.
Shin picks her up, turning back to me. "She needs me."
"I need you," I frown. "He needs you, for fuck's sake."
"You can go," she coughs.
"No," he shakes his head. "I'm staying with you." He looks me up and down in disgust. "I can't believe you right now."
"You can't believe me?" I repeat.
"She's clearly not well. Who knows how long she's been down there for!"
"She's the least of our priorities," I snap. "It's her damn fault in the first place."
"I'm so sorry," she whispers.
"You're making this worse for her," Yukiko scolds me.
"All you're doing is overwhelming her," Rise sighs. "It's not helping anyone."
"She doesn't give a damn about you, Shin," I scoff.
"And you do?"
My breath goes shallow. He stares right back at me, as if waiting for an honest response.
I turn away, too ashamed to maintain the eye contact. I turn, ready to find Yosuke.
"I'm gonna find somewhere for her to rest up," Shin announces to the others.
"We'll come, too," Kanji says.
"What about Sensei?" Teddie frowns.
"Yu... Come back here," Chie calls.
"You guys just... stay with her, alright?" I grunt.
"Please, don't like this," Naoto sighs. "I understand your anger, but that's no excuse."
"I just want to find Yosuke."
"You think you're the only one?" Rise scoffs.
I rub my eye, wiping away a tear or two.
"Yu," Shin mutters. "Come with me. I promise you that he'll be okay."
"Yeah, he's right," Kanji shrugs. "Yosuke can hold out."
"I won't leave him."
"You're acting like a child," Naoto frowns.
"You don't know shit about how I feel, so back off," I snap.
