[Victor PoV]

We had a long talk and I explained everything that had happened to Jonathan since the day I arrived and about how I died and came back to life, he didn't believe me at first but then he kind of accepted, Yuuka was analyzing me while I spoke and when I finished she just said okay and stared at me while Jonathan explained how he got here.

[Victor] "A blonde woman wearing a purple dress..." I repeat to myself as I think about the things he said

'Yukari....why would you do that ?'

[Victor] "Yuuka what do you.....think ?...Yuuka ?"

I look at Yuuka and see her with her elbow leaning on the table while holding her head and staring at me with a serious face.

'Eh ? What happened ? Why is she looking at me that way ?...she doesn't even blink....that's kinda creepy...'

I look at Jonathan with a confused face and he shrugs not understanding what's going on too so i look at Yuuka again and see she still didn't move.

[Victor] "...Yuuka ?" I call her name and snap my fingers in front of her face then she blinks and lifts her head as she takes her arm off the table.

[Yuuka] "Sorry i was distracted" she says in a normal voice and leans against the back of her chair while crossing her arms.

[Victor] "..Okay, then what do you think abou-" I stop talking when I see her staring at me the same way as before

[Jon] "Why do i have a feeling that she's going to kill both of us while we sleep ?"

[Yuuka] "The only one I'm going to kill will be you if you don't shut up" she says turning to face Jonathan with menacing eyes

[Jon] "Why are you so violent anyway ?"

[Yuuka] "Because insects like y-"

[Victor] "Okay ! Okay ! Everyone had a bad day so how about we rest now and continue this tomorrow ?" I say as I raise my hands to stop the carnage that's about to happen

[Yuuka] "....Whatever..." she gets up and leaves the kitchen

'Why is she acting like that ?'

[Jon] "How can you live with this...flower ?" He asks indignantly and I can see in his face that he wasn't going to say flower, but he probably took his life into consideration.

[Victor] "Normally she's not like that....I'll talk to her later"

[Jon] "Good luck with that"

[Victor] "Yeah..I will probably need it...Anyway let's try to sleep now, I'll accompany you to the village in the morning"

[Jon] "As if I could sleep with this pain" he says and gets up

I get a blanket and give it to him so he sits against the wall in the hallway and covers himself, the couch has been crushed so I sit in the hallway too but a little bit away from Jonathan and cross my arms while lowering my head

[Jon] "Don't you feel cold ?"

[Victor] "No, I'm used to it"

[Jon] "Seriously ?"
