It was another day at school. Winning and losing duels against others and pigging out on lunch. Yuma has been doing better in his classes, mostly because he isn't falling asleep as much. Yuma meets up with his friends, Bronk and Shark. "Tori isn't with you, Yuma?" Bronk said with a slight cock of his head. "I thought she would be here with you guys, so I guess I was wrong."

Shark quietly motioned towards something running up behind Yuma. "Hey guys, sorry that I'm late" Tori said as she gasped for air. "No need to be sorry, we weren't waiting long" replied Yuma, kissing Tori's cheek. Yuma and Tori have been dating for a while now and he couldn't be happier. Some days he'd find himself not wanting anything to do with Tori and would push her away. Yuma thought nothing of it and assumed it was normal.

Yuma and Tori waved goodbye to Shark, as they parted ways as they always do. Tori suddenly stopped, turned and faced Yuma seriously. Yuma assumed something was amiss and Tori didn't miss a beat in asking. "Yuma, I feel as if your mind is elsewhere. Sometimes, the love you give isn't the same as it used to be" Tori said worriedly. Yuma assured her that it's nothing and that he loved her with all his heart.

They continued walking home together and Yuma would find himself thinking back to Kaito, the guy who was frequently in his way back then. Yuma hugged Tori goodbye then watched as she walked in. When Yuma nears his home, he saw a figure on his porch. He wondered who this was and why they're here. As he got to his home, the figure said, "It's been a while. I've missed you".
