Everyone couldn't help but be in awe when they saw the creature. However, as Shiki looked away, a look of sadness was plastered on his face. When Rebecca looked at Shiki, she began to see why the boy was so upset.

"You're worried about Yuuki, aren't you?"

"He said his friend was the reason that he made it to the ship. Just a few moments ago, he witnessed the Chronophage devour Guilst's time while his friend was still possibly on it. Plus that look on his face....it kind of reminded me of myself when I left Granbell but worse."

~Flashback~
"Yuuki!!! Thank goodness, you're okay!"

"........."

While Shiki and Rebecca were happy to see Yuuki made it back to the ship, the boy simply turned around. He didn't want to face anyone on the ship. At least, not for now. While he was walking towards his room, he spoke up.

"I'm sorry, but can I be left alone for a while....."

"Hey now. I've been quiet about this for some time, but what are you hiding?"

Before Yuuki could leave the room, Weisz put a hand on his shoulder to prevent him from leaving. While Yuuki still had his back turned, he listened to what Weisz had to say.

"You've been quiet for a long time, even before Guilst. Plus it's obvious you're stronger than the rest of us Ether Gear users. I don't feel to keen on having someone mysterious and strong roaming around and could betray us at the blink of an eye."

"I..........."

"What is it you're after?"

Just as Weisz said this, he felt someone holding his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw Shiki shaking his head. As Shiki pulled Weisz away from Yuuki, he spoke to the red-haired boy.

"Tell us when you feel comfortable. After all, that's what friends do."

".....thanks, Shiki. See you."

~Flashback ends~
"I hope he'll be okay."

"I would as well. He seems like a good opponent for sparring. Oh no, I spoke my thoughts."

While Shiki and Homura voiced their opinion, Rebecca began to think. It was thanks to Yuuki that the B-Cubers escaped and found clothes, plus he gave them directions to find her. Not to mention all the stuff he did on Guilst. While he's quiet and a bit weird, she just couldn't see him as a bad guy. As Rebecca was thinking, she saw Happy looking at her.

"Is Yuuki gonna be okay?"

"I hope so Happy."

~With Yuuki~
As Yuuki was lying in his bed, he kept thinking about Yukihina. He clenched his fists tightly as he hated himself even more. It felt like history was repeating itself to him. As Yuuki closed his eyes, he thought to himself before going to sleep.
