Nobody POV 

The fridge was emptied in a matter of seconds, regard to the traps that were put up. Zarc, the culprit of the empty fridge, had fallen asleep on the sofa. Ruri and Shun were currently fawning over Yuya while Yuto stood behind him proudly. Yuri watched from afar before going  to the hospital room. Yugo was getting up from the bed when he entered. 

"Ah! Good afternoon Yuri!" Yugo smiled.

 Yuri couldn't help but smile back. "It's a good afternoon indeed Yugo. Why are you getting up?" 

"Well, I wanted to meet your friends!" Yugo chirped as he stumbled a bit towards Yuri. "I got an email from one of them saying that they both were arriving!" 

"Friends...?" Yuri asked. 

"They called themselves your friends, but told me that you were more co-workers," Yugo chuckled. "They work at our orphanage~ I think the one who sent me the email was... Dennys...?"

"That's a restaurant."

"Denzil..? Desnis..? Denni...? Den-something!" Yugo frowned. Yuri chuckled, before it hit him. His face immediately flushed a pale white. 

"Dennis...?" Yuri whispered. Even though it was soft, Yugo heard it. 

"YES! DENNIS! Ugh why did I keep mispronouncing a name that easy?!" Yugo felt agitated. Yuri was... not happy himself. 

Attempting to calm himself down, Yuri cleared his throat. "May I get a bit of... fresh air?" 

"Oh, of course! Whatever you need!" Yugo smiled. Yuri quickly left and went outside before clutching onto the railing of the balcony. Dennis, co-worker, them so he wasn't alone, orphanage, mission was with him and Sora, Sora. Dennis and Sora. Yuri prayed it would only be the two of them.

Yuri was snapped out of his train of thought when he heard some familiar voices chatting below him. After a bit of debating, his curiously got the best of him, and he looked down. There stood the gardener, Serena, talking to the two people Yuri was anxious to meet, and not in a good way. Dennis and Sora. While he was glad it was just those two, Yuri was not prepared to meet them yet. But fortune was not on his side this time, as Serena pointed right up at him and both of his co-workers stared right at him. 

"Yuri!" Dennis chirped while Sora waved. Putting on a smile, Yuri waved back at them. They were friends, that much was true, just... the mission. Yuri was uncertain if he should go through with it, but he couldn't exactly tell these two or he would be sold out in a matter of seconds.

"Yuri, come down here and meet our newest member!" Sora yelled, gesturing at Serena. Yuri felt his face flush again. Newest member...? 

"We met earlier today!" Serena sweatdropped as she nervously chuckled. She then glanced up at Yuri. "I'm apart of your guys' mission! Last minute changes and whatever, hehe! Nice to meet you again Yuri!" Yuri felt like he was going to faint, but he didn't. He was too mentally strong for that. He nodded at Serena before heading back inside, no longer wanting to be outside. Wanting to get away, Yuri decided to head back to what his room was. The door was fixed, so he locked it behind him. As soon as he made sure all was secure, Yuri collapsed onto himself, all sorts of negative emotions exploding out from him. Maybe agreeing to this mission against his own soulmate was a bad idea, but he had no choice. Yuri started thinking about all the "What if" as he sat there, unsure as to what to do.
