[UAU: the first day under]
[Kaiser wakes up far later than usual. He prefers to rise early, normally -- sleep is for the weak and the dead -- but the events of last night were so draining that he slept straight through his alarm.
He doesn't remember them, when he's first waking up. They don't hit him until he glances around his room, still drowsy and blinking sleep out of his eyes, and sees the briefcase -- still missing one cuff -- lying open on the floor.
He sits up and takes inventory.
- Juudai is in the underground as of last night.
- He's a face.
- He passes out at 800 AP.
- Kaiser is responsible for training this out of him.
- He's staying in Kaiser's apartment.
...wait. Right. This means he has...some kind of host duties, doesn't it...?
He slides out of bed, and rubs his eyes as he walks out of the room in last night's clothing to see just what state Juudai's in.]

Kaiser shakes his head no, no there's no help. Juudai can see it in his eyes, the way he looks at Saruyama first and then back, the way he doesn't look angry or defiant, the way he knows all these things now like they're second nature - the way... The way he looks like he belongs here. With these people. Kaiser, who once stood above every student at Duel Academy. Kaiser, who once asked Juudai to duel him over every other student in every other class. Kaiser who stood closest to the sun.
Not anymore. He's not standing anymore. He's crawling, down here in the underground. Juudai had put all that stuff Kaiser was doing and saying during the duel before out of his mind, thinking it's just because he needs to survive when the collars are on, thinking he can't mean that. But what if he did? What if these are his people now?
And Juudai is trapped here. Because he'd tried to save him.
Juudai turns away before Kaiser can see what's in his expression: hurt, disillusionment, disappointment, disgust. He looks out the window of the car instead. ]
