1084: A Talk From A Bush
[X] Plan Backstory + Stop Dumping INT
You sigh, "...I honestly wish I could tell you. I mean, there were tons of little differences between our experiences besides just you and I, like Raido's lack of a scar, the circumstances around Mom's death, and..." You trail off, "...I can't understand what you're going through because--?"
"I wouldn't want you to." Yuki interrupts, his voice suddenly much calmer, "You don't deserve that."
"No one does." You agree, "But, that aside, I don't think your emotions are a weakness."
Yuki scoffs, "Tell that to my Raido."
You let that sit in the air for a moment while you figure out how exactly how you want to say what you want to say. Eventually, the words fall right onto your lap.
"You're not the only one who trained ever since you could hold a sword." You smile at the bush, "But it wasn't because of honor or pride or anything like that."
"It certainly wasn't to fight demons." Yuki half jokes.
"No, nothing supernatural." You chuckle a little, "I just... Saw how much losing Mom back then tortured Dad. I felt how much losing her back then hurt." Your face stiffens, "So I decided to fight so I'd never lose anything again. I started with little reasons to fight, like bullies and vandals behind the school, but after a while, I targeted the serious threats, like the Kuma Pack and their dealers. I saved some, taught a few, and crushed everyone else without mercy."
You can tell that Yuki had a snide comment to make, but he refrained from vocalizing it.
"I remember a lot for those days." You stare at the pond, watching the water ripple as the wind blows, "I remember every time I broke a man's bone, every time I managed to draw blood, every time someone screamed for mercy under my vicious assault. I fought, and I fought, and I fought for what felt like a lifetime until Shoji saw what I was through the violence and pulled me back. And that's the life I lived before Witches and Demons."
The air was still for a moment before Yuki responded with a simple "...Oh."
"...Yeah." You nod.
"I guess..." Yuki begins, "...We're both our own kind of fucked up, huh?"
"I guess so." A melancholic smile graces your lips.
"At least you had a reason to get stronger, though." Yuki says with a sigh, "The only reason I had was because it was all I knew. I just needed to get stronger. That way, no one could ever take anything from me ever again." He chuckles, and doesn't even try to stifle it, "The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh?"
"We probably get it from Mom's side." You offer a little levity.
"No doubt about that." Yuki responds, sounding a little more lively than before.
You close your eyes, going over the words in your head before you speak them, "You know, you've got a lot more experience in formal combat than I do, but you kinda stink at reading people. Like, worse than me."
"I can read people's attacks fine." He jabs back.
"Not attacks, not in a fight. I'm talking about..." You sigh, reorganizing your point, "You need to watch your enemies, yeah, but you also need to be cognizant of your allies. You know, what type of person they are, their motivations, their habits... Stuff like that. Once you recognize that, you'll be able to see when there's a shift in their behavior. That's when you gotta figure out what's going on, or what problem is weighing on them. Fix it, and that bond is solidified even more. If not..."
"...You get stabbed in the back." Yuki finishes, "I get the memo."
You nod even though he can't see you. Then, you just sit with him for a little while.

[X] Throw an arm over his shoulder wrap him in hug
-[X] "…Mom liked curry here, if you wanna go get some? I was trying to replicate her recipe for years until Kohaku helped me get it just right recently."

Is this anchored in the games only or also IDW? if IDW, any chance of Surge?
When were these established?
- Pronouns
- He
It was mentioned once when Yumi was making curry, then Kohaku added something and Yumi compared it to her mother's cooking.
I'll need to find the exact quote tho.
Edit: Was threadmark 501. I might need to re-word stuff since we didn't actually replicate it, just the closest we've gotten to it.

Also, we could just establish it now lol.

My original idea for Yuki was to treat him like Alex in Strange Journey Redux, having him be a recurring antagonist to beat you up when you were in one single loop for too long.
...Well, not Yuki specifically, just a character to fill that role in an effort to fix his own broken reality. Obviously, that fell through when you didn't die at the start of the quest. I think that's for the best.

One of my favorite parts of this quest continues to be the fact that Yumi just refused her mandated death, and made that fact everyone else's problem.

To be fair, if we did die there, the tone of the quest would be entirely different, and we likely wouldn't have gotten our Yakuza backstory.
Thus just being a plain civilian goober with demon blood.
1085: Curry Talk.
[X] "Curry?"
"...Hey, are you hungry?" You ask Yuki, who is still behind his bush.
"...Yeah." He replies simply, "I let Yuma eat my share of the pizza Sho-- Shimizu ordered." He hastily corrected Shoji's name like a verbal flinch.
"Cool!" You smile, standing up slowly, "...Mom really liked her curry here if you wanna go get some. I think there's some in the fridge--?"
"I'm fine." Yuki snaps, "...I'm okay. I can't... Curry isn't really my thing."
"Oh. Sorry, I--?"
"It's fine," Yuki mumbles, "I just... The last night I spent with Mom and Dad, that's what we... Just forget about it."
"...Hey, Yuki?" You step closer to the bush, "Curry's not the only thing that's in the house, I'm sure we can find something for you to eat. Maybe...?"
"How do you like your curry?" Yuki suddenly asks.
"Huh?" You blink in surprise, "I thought you didn't wanna talk about that."
"I don't. I'm just asking about the curry." Yuki stresses heavily.
"...Well, I was trying to replicate Mom's recipe for years, but then..." You smile warmly at the bush, "...Kohaku helped me get it just right. You know, I've gotta ask her what kind of spices she put in..."
"Sumac."
"...What?" You glance at the bush.
"It's sumac. What Kohaku put in. The spice." Yuki elaborates, "That's what Mom always put in. Well, just a little bit of it, as not to overpower the rest of the dish."
"You know a lot about curry for someone who doesn't like it...!" You offer a teasing tone.
"I don't like it." Yuki stresses, "I love it. I am just particular in how it is made."
"Well, then." You step closer, putting your hands on your hips, "...Let's get it right. For Dad."
At first, there's simply no response. Your brain immediately goes into damage control because you think you went too far--!!
Yuki finally stands up, his back and the top of his head covered in leaves. His eyes are reddish, and his sleeve has some wet spots on them.
"...For Dad." He says with a sad smile, "Yeah, I could do that."

[X] Cook curry with Yuki. At least he's finally opening up.
-[X] But first..."You do realize you're covered in leaves, don't you?"
-[X] If you get the chance, try to get Dad not to ask about Raido just yet.
