Yusei Rhee
The view is amazing. The sun setting over the horizon as the clouds turn colors. It's an amazing place without a care in the world, and it's even better with my parents by my side. I'm so happy to see them. To be with them. I can catch up and just chat with them. I let them know I love them, and that I'm sorry for all that I've done, but my dad stops me in my tracks. He tlls me he's proud of me, and that they both love me. That they're proud of who I become, and that the past is behind me. They know I made mistakes, but none of that matters since we're here in this world where time has no worth anymore. We finish talking, and I push myself into a standing position. I've always wanted to swim, and now's my chance. I can swim and never grow tired, but before I even reach the water, I'm falling through a giant hole in the ground.
"Can you hear me?" The voice echoes through my mind, and nothing is making sense. "Yusei, can you hear me?" The voice asks again, and I can hear the sounds of the machines beeping around me. My eyes snap open, and this is not where I left my parents. This isn't even the same place I was. It's different so much different, and it's so scary. The doctor explains what's going on, and I'm told that I'm alive, and that I didn't die, and nothing makes sense. I'm fighting against my own body. It's so heavy. My arms are hurting. I'm aching. I just want to escape. I thought for certain I was dead, but apparently the last part of me joining my parents wasn't real. It was all just a dream. But it doesn't matter because I start pulling at the IV, and the machines are beeping louder and faster. "Yusei, take it easy, you need to rest." And then the world goes black as I drift off to sleep once more.
The lights are bright this time. Brighter than they were before, and I'm still unsure of what's going on. Nothing makes sense, but I know I'm sore. My lungs are hurting. My stomach. My arms. Everything aches. I don't know what to do, but fighting isn't going to get me anywhere. All I want is to see my parents again. I was there, but they stole it away from me in the blink of an eye. I partially wonder if the games were even real. Is Bette and her allies real? I remember seeing them. I confessed to them, but I also remember seeing my parents, but that wasn't real. A heavy sigh leaves my chest as I start fighting against the machines once more. I rip the IV out of my arm. Blood gushes from the tiny hole. "Yusei, you need to relax before you hurt yourself some more. You sustained significant injuries, and you need to be careful." I want to ignore them. To tell them just to leave me alone, but I don't think it will matter because I fall back to sleep, and I'm unsure of whether it's from the pain or from pure exhaustion.
"Yusei, can you hear me?" My eyes snap open again, and I find myself staring at someone in white. It's almost like an angel has come to take me back to my parents. I simply nod my head this time. It's all I can do. The pain isn't as bad anymore. It doesn't hurt, but the soreness is still there. There's only one nurse inside the room this time, and I'm unsure of how much time has past. I take a breath trying to figure out what's happening. "What's going on?" The nurse explains the same thing the doctor said earlier. They tell me that my tracker somehow managed to save my life even though my cannon sound. I did die. This wasn't a dream. I saw my parents. I know they're happy for me, and now I have a chance to make them even happier. But I already miss them.
"You have a ways to go recovery wise, but you'll be just fine. Just take it easy." I nod my head at the words again as I sit up on the side of my bed. A new beginning of a new life. That's what this is. I've been given a second chance. I'm sure Cirque knows how I feel about her, and one day I'll face her, but I'm not afraid of her anymore. I just have to have the courage to speak to her. I look at the nurse wearing white; "When will I get out of here?" It's a simple question, but all the nurse does is shrug. I know the games usually last a little over a week. I just hope to leave here soon and go about my life so that one day I can fully reunite with my parents and rest on that peaceful beach where I left them.
