[ When Yuuri wakes up and finds Ruu gone, her first thought is a fleeting, hysterical and half-formed conviction that she had never been there in the first place. Ridiculous as it might have been, it was a fear that swam under the surface of her thoughts often – that perhaps she'd just gone the way of Yuki, convincing herself that her little sister was fine and along for the journey and the others hadn't yet worked up the nerve to tell her the truth.
She scans their faces desperately when she tells them the news, dreading the signs of hesitation or skepticism she was certain she was about to see, but their concern was immediate and it soothed her heart – to a degree. Because even with that fear dismissed, it didn't do anything to ease her panic at the fact that Ruu was gone.
By the time she finds the girl, Yuuri's already convinced herself of every possible worst case scenario. She'd been in such a panic to get out of the van and look that she isn't even dressed properly, just her cardigan haphazardly thrown on over her pajamas and her shoes tossed on like an afterthought. But then she sees Ruu running over to her and – she doesn't even have the time to feel relieved. She runs over and instead of pulling her into a hug, Yuuri grabs her by the shoulders. ]
Ruu-chan! [ Fuelled by panic, her voice is harsher than she wants it to be. ] I've told you– I've told you not to go out on your own! What were you thinking, just disappearing like that?!
