The heavy double doors of the gym creaked as Yullisix trudged back inside. His pace was slow, his posture braced. Rule, Ejeh, and Louis immediately straightened up upon seeing him.
"Finally—" Ejeh started, but the words died in his throat.
"Where’s Chleiren?" Louid asked, stepping forward, his eyes narrowing as he realized Yullisix’s state. "You’re not okay, kuya!"

Yullisix was pale, his knuckles white where his hand was still firmly clutching his chest. His breathing was shallow and hitched, a rhythmic struggle that filled the sudden silence of the gym.
"She’s... gone to class," Yullisix managed, his voice strained. He leaned heavily against a pillar, his knees buckling slightly.
"Forget the girl for a second," Rule said, his voice dropping into his authoritative 'Team Leader' tone as he reached out to steady Yullisix’s shoulder. "We’re taking you to the clinic. Now. Don't even try to argue."
Yullisix didn't have the strength to fight back. He allowed the three of them to flank him, practically carrying him down the quiet hallway toward the infirmary. Once inside, the school nurse ushered him onto an empty bed, checking his vitals while the boys hovered nearby.
After a few minutes, the nurse stepped away.
"I’m taking her to see Yuvi after class today," Yullisix said suddenly, his voice hollow as he stared at the ceiling.
The boys exchanged a look of utter confusion.
"Yuvenix?" Louis asked, trying to lighten the mood with a weak grin. "Wait, so you’re finally introducing her to your twin? You guys reunited? Is this the official 'meet the family' stage already?"
"I want Yuvi to personally meet the girl he liked." Yullisix interrupted, his voice sharp enough to cut through Louis’s jest. "The girl he was supposed to meet at the archery stadium."
The room went cold. Rule froze, and Ejeh’s jaw dropped. They all knew about the "mystery girl" Yuvenix had talked about before he got into the accident.
"What are you talking about, Yulli?" Ejeh whispered. "You’re saying... Chleiren is that girl?"
