[ It's Yuuri, to the other girls' surprise, who shows the most hesitance about following the strangers when they arrive.
Yuki, bless her heart, loves all of them the moment they set foot in Megurigaoka and when it's just that, just the idea of an extra few seats at the table and a few more mouths to feed Yuuri is more willing to consider it. It would be terribly hard, yes, but with an extra car and a weapon then more frequent trips out of the school for scavenging would be much more feasible. But when she realizes they're not staying -- when they're offering to take the girls out of the school with them -- then she's a little less so. They can't stay in Megurigaoka forever, she's always known that. But it's safe for now. All that awaits them if they leave the school is fear and uncertainty and she promised Megumi Sakura that she would keep these girls safe. How can she be sure she'll keep that promise if they leave the sanctuary Megu-nee left behind for them?
It's Yuki, as always, who shows her where they need to go. Yuki with her bright eyes who asks the newcomers endless questions and then as soon as she hears about Lunafreya (which is as ridiculous a name as Yuuri has ever heard) she spins around and says to Yuuri "We're gonna help them find her, right, Rii-san?"
And Yuuri can argue against logic and reason, can shout down Kurumi and Miki but even she cannot hope to stand up to Takeya Yuki's smile.
So they leave Megurigaoka. She's a nervous wreck the first few days, though she does her best to cover it up. But time does its job and the longer they're on the road the more at ease she finds herself growing. Their four new travel companions had kept themselves alive for this long so what's so say they'll have any trouble doing the same now their group's bigger? And as much as the voice of doom and gloom in her head scolds her for her complacency, Yuuri lets herself relax, just a touch. Besides, it's nice to have someone else to do the worrying with her and someone else to have their backs apart from Kurumi and her shovel. She starts to let herself think that maybe this will all have a happy ending. Maybe they really will find Lunafreya and this horrible nightmare will finally come to some sort of end.
So as much as she's horrified when it all goes to hell, Yuuri hates herself that she can't say she's surprised.
It's a screaming mess of confusion and chaos when they break in to fix it. It's worse than the day it all happened, worse than the day they lost Megu-nee. Because there's so much more to lose and they were so, so close to the end that Yuuri can hardly stand the thought of it. This was supposed to be done and finished when they got here but now there's no end in sight. She hates it more than she's ever hated anything and she needs to do something, anything to make it right again.
Maybe that's why she volunteers to be the one who goes and finds Prompto. None of them are exactly sure what she's going to find so she takes Kurumi's shovel, even as she hopes to god she won't need it. But she knows just from looking in the windows of the operating room that she won't. The boy in there, pale, wide-eyed and shaking is still Prompto Argentum and her heart aches at the sight of him in there alone.
She fumbles with the keys when she unlocks the door, nearly drops them she's in such a state and when she finally gets the damn thing open she goes rushing in without a moment of hesitation or any apparent fear for herself. The panic sharp in her eyes and the fear in her voice -- it's all for Prompto. ]
Prompto-kun-- oh, how could they just leave you in here all alone like this?! Those--
[ No word seems adequately bad to convey the sheer venom that surges up from her heart at the sight of him like this. She takes it slow, almost creeping towards him like she's a frightened animal she doesn't want to spook. ]
I'm... it's okay now. I'm here, okay? Are-- are you going to be alright? Can you stand?
