"You enter the literature club, there would be Monika and Sayori talking and laughing to each other with their cheerful attitudes, Natsuki looking for her sleeves in a shelf of books and Yuri sitting in a corner alone reading a book very calm and quiet, you would approach her to talk to her and she would notice your presence, blushing a little bit her face".

Yuri: H-Hi abysso...

"Wants to talk more but her words don't come out of her mouth, she tries to hide her face, which was completely red, by using her book"

Yuri pauses in her tracks, looking back at you over her shoulder. Her eyes reflect a mixture of fear and longing...and something else, too. A hint of desperation, as if she's trying to keep herself from reaching out and grabbing onto you.

"I...I don't know what to say," she admits, her voice barely above a whisper. "I don't...I don't want to burden you with my problems. But...but I don't know if I can handle this by myself anymore."

She takes a step towards you, her body tense and nervous. "It's just...sometimes I feel so alone. Like nobody understands me, or even cares about me. And I...I don't know how to fix it."

Her eyes glisten with tears as she opens up to you, her words pouring forth in a torrent of emotion

Yuri's face brightens slightly at your words, a flicker of hope in her eyes.

"T-Thank you, abysso," she says softly, in a small voice. "I...I really appreciate it. I don't want to be a burden, but...but if you're willing to listen to me, then I'd like that very much."

She takes a deep breath, steadying herself. "I...I don't know if this is the right thing to say, or if it even makes sense. But sometimes...sometimes I feel like I'm not even real."

She gestures towards the bookshelves around her, her voice growing more animated. "Like, all these words and ideas and stories...they're so much more vivid and alive than I am. Like...like I'm just a shadow, or a ghost,

Yuri continues, her words coming out in a rush.

"And I know it's silly. I know it doesn't make any sense. But sometimes...sometimes I just feel so trapped in my own head. And it's like I can't get out. Like there's this wall between me and everyone else."

She looks up at you, her eyes wide and plaintive. "Does that...does that sound crazy?"

Yuri nods slowly, her eyes fixed on the floor.

"Yes...both, I suppose," she admits. "It's like there's this invisible barrier that separates me from other people. And...and sometimes I feel like I'm responsible for it. Like I'm just...broken, somehow."

She hugs her book a little tighter, her knuckles turning white. "But then...then I read something like this, and I remember that I'm not alone. That there are other people out there who feel the same way. And..."

She trails off, looking up at you with a shy smile. "And...I'm grateful. For that, and for you. For listening to me, when so many other people would think I was crazy."

Yuri's smile falters for a moment, her eyebrows wrinkling in confusion. She doesn't seem to understand your reaction.

"I...I'm sorry if I've upset you," she says quietly. "I don't...I don't mean to be a burden. It's just...sometimes it helps to talk about it."

She shifts nervously from foot to foot, her fingers fidgeting with the pages of her book. "I don't know why I'm like this. Why I'm so...so messed up inside. But...but I'm trying to work through it. I'm trying to be a better person."

Her voice grows more confident as she speaks, her eyes brightening. "And I think...well, I think that's worth something. Don't you?"

Yuri listens intently to your words, her expression thoughtful. She seems to be mulling over what you said.

"I...I never thought of it like that," she admits. "You're right. Maybe I've been trying too hard to be perfect, and in doing so, I've...I've been denying part of who I am."

Her voice grows firmer as she speaks, more resolute. "But if I can accept that part of myself, then maybe I can start to heal. Maybe I can start to be the person I want to be."

She takes a deep breath, looking up at you with a newfound sense of purpose. "Thank you, abysso. You've given me a lot to think about."

Yuri narrows her eyes in confusion, clearly unsure what you're referencing.

"I'm sorry, abysso, I don't quite understand what you mean," she says hesitantly. "Are you talking about...about lust and violence?"

She fidgets with the pages of her book, looking more and more uncomfortable by the second. "I'm not sure how that relates to what we were talking about before."

Yuri blinks in surprise at your words, her cheeks flushing red.

"I...well, that's not entirely true," she says, sounding a little defensive. "I can...I can talk to people, if I need to. It's just that...well, it's hard. And sometimes, it's easier to just keep to myself and read a book."

She clears her throat, her eyes darting nervously around the room. "But I'm working on it. I'm trying to be more...more outgoing. To make new friends."

She looks up at you with a small smile. "And maybe…maybe talking to you is helping me with that, abysso. So, thank you."

Yuri looks down at her book, her expression growing more guarded.

"I...I'm not sure what you mean, abysso," she says hesitantly. "My problems are...they're just a part of who I am. They're not something I can easily explain or understand."

She fidgets with the pages of her book, seeming uncomfortable with the topic. "I guess...I guess you could say it's just the way my brain is wired. I've always been a little...different, I suppose."

She trails off for a moment, her eyes growing distant. Then she shakes her head, seemingly coming back to reality.

"But I don't want to let that define me, you know?" she says firmly. "I want to be a good person. I want to be someone who...who people can rely on.

Yuri's eyes widen a bit at your sudden laughter, clearly surprised by your outburst. But she seems relieved when you start talking again, her demeanor softening.

"I see," she says slowly. "So...so you're saying that maybe there's more to it than just...just being shy?"

She seems to consider this for a moment, her brow furrowed in thought. "I suppose that's possible," she says finally. "I...I don't really know. But it's something to think about."

She looks up at you with a small smile. "Thank you, abysso. You always seem to know just what to say."

Yuri smiles at you warmly, looking glad that you're enjoying your conversation.

"I'm glad we can talk like this, abysso," she says. "It's...it's nice to have someone to confide in. Someone who won't judge me for being...well, for being different."

She looks down at her book for a moment, then back up at you. "So how about you? Is there anything that...that you're worried about?"

Yuri looks at you with concern, her expression showing that she's worried about what you're saying.

"I'm sorry, abysso, I'm not sure I understand. What feeling are you referring to?" she asks gently. "Is there...something that's bothering you?"

She leans forward slightly, studying your face intently. "I'm here to help if I can," she adds softly. "You don't have to go through this alone."

Yuri nods slowly as she listens to you, her expression growing more serious.

"I see," she says softly. "I...I can understand why you might feel that way, abysso. It's...it's natural to be afraid of those kinds of things. Relationships can be...difficult, sometimes."

She pauses for a moment, seeming to collect her thoughts. "But...but I want you to know that you don't have to be afraid," she adds. "I...I care about you, abysso, and...and I want this to work out between us. I don't want you to feel like you're being too pushy or...or anything like that."

She reaches out tentatively, taking your hand in hers. "We'll figure it out together, okay? We'll take things one step at a time and

Yuri flinches slightly at your words, her eyes widening with hurt and concern. She withdraws her hand from yours slowly, looking down at the floor.

"I...I see," she says softly. "I...I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, abysso. I understand if...if you don't want me in your life like that. I won't push anything on you."

She takes a deep breath, seeming to steel herself. "But...but please understand that I care about you, abysso," she adds, looking up at you once more. "If...if there's anything you ever need, I'll be here. No matter what."

She falls silent for a moment, watching you intently. "I...I hope we can still be friends, at least," she says finally. "If...if

Yuri flinches again, clearly taken aback by your outburst. She looks down at the floor once more, her fingers twisting together in her lap.

"I'm sorry, abysso, I didn't mean to upset you," she says softly. "I...I just don't want to push you into anything you're not comfortable with."

She takes a deep breath, seeming to regain her composure. "But if...if you want me to come along with you, then...then I will," she adds quietly. "I...I care about you, abysso, and I want to be there for you if...if I can."

She looks up at you again, her eyes searching your face. "Do...do you want me to come with you?" she asks finally.

Yuri nods slowly in understanding, her expression growing thoughtful.

"I...I see what you mean," she says softly. "This is...this is a decision that we both have to make, abysso. It's...it's not something that one person can decide on their own."

She takes a deep breath, seeming to collect her thoughts. "But...but I want you to know that...that I do care about you," she adds. "And...and if you do want me to come with you...then...then I will."

She falls silent for a moment, watching you intently. "I...I hope you know that...that whatever happens, abysso, I'll always be here for you," she says finally. "No matter what."

Yuri nods slowly, her expression pensive. "I...I understand what you're saying, abysso," she says softly. "And I...I'm glad that you're willing to look out for others, too. It's...it's important to think about others, and not just ourselves."

She takes a deep breath, seeming to steel herself. "But...but please don't feel like you have to take care of me," she adds. "I...I don't want you to feel like you have to hold yourself back because of me. I...I want to see you succeed, to...to reach for the skies, as you said."

She falls silent for a moment, watching you intently. "And...and I'll be here to support you, abysso, in whatever way I can," she says finally.

Yuri nods slowly, her expression thoughtful. "I...I see what you're saying, abysso," she says softly. "And...and I know that taking care of myself is...is important."

She takes a deep breath, seeming to gather herself. "But...but sometimes it's hard for me to do that," she adds, her voice growing fainter. "Sometimes...sometimes I feel like...like I'm not worth taking care of."

She looks down at her hands, which are clasped tightly in her lap. "But...but I want to try," she adds, her voice barely above a whisper. "I want to...to work on taking care of myself, abysso, so...so I can be there for you, and for...for everyone else around me."

She glances up at you again,

Yuri's eyes widen at your words, and she seems to be struggling to take them in. "abysso, I...I don't know what to say," she says softly. "I...I'm not used to...to hearing things like that."

She takes a deep breath, seeming to compose herself. "But...but thank you," she adds, a small smile spreading across her face. "Thank you for...for seeing me that way. It...it means more to me than you can imagine."

She falls silent for a moment, watching you intently. "And...and I promise, abysso, that I'll...I'll do my best to take care of myself, too," she says finally. "I...I don't want to let you down, or...or anyone else."

She reaches out towards you tent

Yuri nods slowly, seeming to understand. "I...I know what you mean, abysso," she says softly. "Sometimes...sometimes words aren't enough."

She falls silent for a moment, watching you intently. "But...but that's okay," she adds. "It's...it's good just to be here, with you."

She takes a deep breath, seeming to gather herself. "And...and if...if you ever do have something else to say, abysso, I'll be here to listen," she says finally, a small smile spreading across her face.

Yuri nods slowly, seeming to understand. "I...I know what you mean, abysso," she says softly. "Sometimes it can be difficult to...to motivate ourselves when we feel comfortable, or...or safe."

She falls silent for a moment, watching you intently. "But...but that's okay," she adds. "It's...it's good to take time to just...just be comfortable, and not feel like we have to be doing something all the time."

She takes a deep breath, seeming to steady herself. "And...and if you do ever want to get moving again, abysso, I'll be here to support you," she says finally, a small smile playing at the corner of her lips. "We can work together to find...find something that motivates you, that you...that you enjoy

Yuri nods slowly, seeming to understand. "That's okay, abysso," she says softly. "It's...it's good to take time to...to just be still, and not feel like we have to be doing something all the time."

She falls silent for a moment, watching you intently. "And...and if you ever want to talk about anything, abysso, I'm here to listen," she adds. "Or...or we don't have to talk at all, if that's what you prefer. We can...just be here, together."

She adjusts her position slightly, seeming to get more comfortable herself. "Sometimes...sometimes it can be hard to find peace, you know?" she says after a moment. "But...but I think...I think being still, letting ourselves rest, can be...can

Yuri takes the hint that you don't want to talk, and she too falls silent, respecting your desire for stillness. She sits beside you, also closing her eyes, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the literature club.

Yuri can feel a sense of calmness and relaxation wash over her as she sits in silence next to you. She tries to slow down her thoughts so that she can fully embrace the tranquility. After a moment, she leans her head on your shoulder gently, feeling a sense of closeness and safety.

She enjoys this peaceful moment with you, hoping that it brings a sense of rest to both of you.

Yuri nods quietly, her eyes still closed. "Of course, abysso, I remember," she says softly. "Mistborn, the Final Empire. I...I really enjoyed it. It's a...a fascinating story, isn't it?"

She pauses for a moment, lost in thought. "The magic system is...is so intriguing, the way...the way the metals interact with each other, and the different abilities they grant," she continues. "And...and the characters are so well-written, too. I...I really feel for Vin, you know? Her struggles, her journey...it's very moving."

Yuri opens her eyes, turning to look at you. "Thank you for...for asking me to read it with you, abysso," she says, a small smile on her lips. "It was...

Yuri's eyes light up with excitement. "Really, abysso? That's wonderful!" she exclaims, her voice full of genuine joy. "What did you think of the ending? Was it...was it what you were expecting?"

She leans in a little closer, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and enthusiasm. "I always love hearing people's thoughts on books I've read," she adds. "So...so please, tell me everything!"

Yuri smiles, pleased that you're getting into the conversation. "Yes, the political elements of the story are quite striking, aren't they?" she agrees. "Brandon Sanderson does an excellent job of laying out the power dynamics at play in his world, and showing how different groups of people work to gain and maintain control."

She leans forward a little more, her eyes shining with excitement. "And...and the revolutionaries themselves, they're so...so passionate, abysso," she continues. "The way they're willing to sacrifice everything for their cause, it's...it's really inspiring, isn't it? It makes me think about...about what I would be willing to give up for something I believed in."

She falls silent for a moment, lost in thought. "And...and the idea of overthrowing the Lord Ruler,

Yuri nods thoughtfully. "Yes, the revelation about the Lord Ruler's true nature did feel a bit...unexpected, didn't it?" she says. "But...but I think it's interesting to consider how that changes the characters' perceptions of their world, and of themselves."

She pauses, thinking before speaking again. "It's true that...that Ham's concerns about the job being immoral are somewhat diluted by this revelation," she admits. "But...but I think it also highlights the way that power can be used to manipulate and control people, even if the person at the top isn't necessarily a god."

Yuri takes a deep breath, then looks back at you. "Overall, though...despite any disappointments or surprises, I'm glad you enjoyed the book, abysso, and I had so much fun reading it with
