Characters: Kotori Mizuki
Synopsis: Kotori mulls over thoughts about the attack on Heartland, fearing the same will happen to Domino City.
Limbo.
That was the only way she could describe how she was feeling. It was like being in limbo. An endless circle of thoughts and worries that never really seemed to resolve themselves.
She'd been feeling like this a while, but it had been stronger ever since she met that 'Serena', the girl who shared the same face as Yuzu, but just by talking to her, Kotori could tell they weren't the same person.
Just who was she?
She claimed to be from some dueling military school. She grew up there learning that dueling was a tool for fighting, which Kotori disagreed with at first, but when asked to prove her resolve, Kotori couldn't do anything but flee, leaving her head full of doubts.
Should dueling be used as a way to fight? Or should it only be for fun? And was she any better than her? Her original drive to learn dueling was because she wanted to be able to protect herself and to protect Yuma, but it was Yuma who wanted her to not see dueling as a tool to fight with, he wanted her to see it as something fun.
But could any of them keep seeing it that way?
People who used dueling as a weapon destroyed their home and took everyone they knew and loved away from them. They took away their lives as they knew it.
But no-one knew who did it. No-one knew where they were.
Serena had mentioned she was after dueling 'terrorists'. Could it be she was after those who attacked Heartland? Was she sent to Domino City because they'd been seen here?
Kotori wrung her hands as anxiety clutched at her chest. She was terrified of the thought of the same thing happening to Domino City. She didn't want to risk losing her home, friends or family again, she just wouldn't be able to bare it, but it was this worry that had eaten at her for longer than she really cared to admit. This fear that everything could be taken away from her again at any moment.
And she wouldn't be strong enough to stop it.
She could duel now, but she felt she was no where near the level that Yuma or his friends were and even though she'd discovered her powers since then, she barely knew anything about them. Sure, she'd been able to control them better, but all she could do was push, pull and levitate small items and as for the butterflies, what could she even do with those other than run away like a coward?
She felt that, until either those who attacked Heartland were found and brought to justice, or until she was strong enough to protect those she loved, she could never relax.
Never settle.
Never fully move forward.
Not while the risk of losing everything again still hung over her like a thick fog that wouldn't clear.
