Chapter 51: Recollection
"My purpose," Yuki said with shaky eyes, her heart slamming loudly in her chest, what was it, she knew she had one but she couldn’t rember, her looks darkened as her hand clenched her head tightly.
"I can’t rember my purpose".
’Purpose?’ Mirai thought puzzled.
"Mirai-chan, is Yuki-chan okay?" Yumi asked from behind, worried.
Suddenly Yuki gasps as if getting herself, she takes a deep slow breath, she feels on edge, an unusual feeling, she swiftly wipes the blood off her nose facing Mirai, who just stared at her.
"What?" she demands with a frown.
Well, that was new, Yuki’s face was always emotionless, hard to decipher, Mirai rembered Asano complaining about it, this was a first.
But then Mirai’s body tensed at her question, wasn’t she the one in pain just a mont ago?
"You don’t seem okay, I was worried"
Her lips pressed in a thin line.
"There’s no need to worry about ," Yuki said firmly, leaving no room for questions, but Mirai didn’t back down, she was curious and her curiosity got the better of her, sotis.
"Earlier you said sothing about purpose, what do you an by that?" Mirai asked.
Yuki faced the sword in silence, Mirai caught this.
"A katana..." she said as her eyes grew wistful of mories of the past.
"This could co in handy but the Kaiju can only be killed with guns," Mirai said, noticing her tight grip against the sword.
"It’s still a weapon that can be used," Yuki said, taking it as she rose to her feet.
"Are you sure you’re okay?" Mirai asked once more, still worried, as she rose to her feet also.
Her unreadable eyes landed on Mirai, it was back again, the robotic expression.
"I’m fine" her answer was short and simple as she walked away, leaving Yumi and Mirai behind like nothing happened. It was odd, she was odd.
"She’s strange" Yumi admits without a doubt
"Yes... very" Mirai said with a puzzled look.

Dim chatter went around the bio-genetics, either of their experience or about the strange creatures that attacked them or their fate, as well as Shino’s words about completing the mission
Daiki walks to Kana seated at a corner, on the ground, his back against the wall, he was lost in thought.
"Kana," he said.
Kana turned to him, he watched as Daiki took a seat beside him, in the sa position, knees raised, arms on top.
"Daiki heard about Yuma," he began with sad eyes.
Kana’s body trembles as he recalled, the mont the boulder crushed Yuma into nothing, the blood, the remains, ha... yes it was just a leg that was left of him.
Kana held his mouth as the bile of vomit threatened to co out.
Daiki turns to him, seeing his state.
"Daiki is sorry... It’s okay if you don’t wanna talk about it" he said, sweating profusely.
Kana swallowed hard.
"It’s okay," he said, removing his hand from his mouth.
"How is Ren holding up?" Daiki asked.
"Not good I guess," Kana said with sad eyes.
"About what Shino said..." Daiki began.
Kana turns to him.
"About finishing the mission" he adds gulping.
"I say he’s fearless unlike the rest of us," Kana said.
"I’m more of a ladies’ man than a soldier" he added with amusent in his tone, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
"I never grew up surrounded by fights or threats, deaths... it was all so peaceful
