Audacity? Yugi was quite the audacious individual, and he wouldn't try to conceal that fact. "What? I didn't say I hated it. Could be better, could definitely be worse. Vibes, man, vibes!" he chattered. Upon checking Maki's response on a little display, there was a succinct 'no' as an answer. She didn't fancy the idea of twerking on Kenta's corpse either, but that was to be expected. That one... was part of another setup. "No dice, huh? How about my lap as a substitute?" he asked with a bit of cheek. Whatever the case, Sato Kenta had fallen. The moment his ribcage shattered, his heart and lungs exploded within. By the time his body slammed into a tree and bounced to the ground, the Players could see/hear twice more: [LEVEL UP!]

Aki thought there was no way Kenta survived that beatdown. All things considered, he could say it felt pretty good to be part of it. His shoulders gained some slack as he reached for another cigarette to light ─ all while Hayashi proved to be the more vocal male in the moment. "Did we do it? I survived?" he asked. "Probably never ask that question, but yeah... he's dead. Let's fuckin' go!" Yugi announced. He'd first be meeting Miko's hand with a slap from his own. Something that would surprise another version of Yugi at the time was his follow-up attempt to offer Maki, then Aki, then Hayashi the same celebratory gesture ─ one the males would be accepting. "Good game, good game! Now let's..." Yugi had to pause there. Why? The System had something for its Players...

The System's notifications were becoming more and more ominous, but Yugi was more excited by the Skill acquisition than anything. After the previous pop-up, he wasn't actually expecting a reward from that quest. [LEVEL UP!] even appeared a third time for the quest completion. Meanwhile, Gojo Satoru was descending upon the group. "Not too bad. Especially you, Zen'in~" he said with a cheeky grin, those glowing eyes on full display. Satoru extended a hand with the intention of recovering his blindfold from Yugi. While waiting for it, phone still in hand, he shared Makima's most recent order. "Debriefing time! Everyone ready?"
