[X] Head to the dining room.
---
Vincent arrives at the dining room without incident. He glances around. There seems to be no one else in the room. Upon the table is a simple breakfast for one person. He makes his way to his seat and examines the food. Looks like it is still warm. He lays down his weapon beside him and takes a seat.
"..."
He takes a pair of chopsticks, but he doesn't start eating. Instead, he starts staring idly at the ceiling for a few minutes.
"I know you're there. Show yourself," he says without turning his head.
"Awww~"
The newcomer's head pops out from the table. He stares at it blankly.
"Don't do that," says Vincent. "It's really creepy, and I can't get to the food."
"Ara? But it isn't it fine if you have me, instead~"
"Please don't phase through my breakfast."
The pink haired girl pouts as she reluctantly steps in view. She takes a seat beside him. He opens his mouth to object, but then he changes his mind and says nothing. Vincent quietly starts eating. The ghost princess just watches him.
"..."
"..."
Vincent finishes eating his meal in relative peace. Not a word is spoken. He glances at Yuyuko. She only smiles a little in return. The silence is unnerving. After a few minutes, Vincent clears his throat.
"I'm sorry," he whispers.
"..."
"I couldn't..."
"..."
"So..have you come to take my soul?"
"Hmm..?"
Yuyuko stands up and steps behind him. Gently, she embraces him from behind. He gasps in surprise. She feels so warm, as if she isn't a ghost at all. He can feel her tighten her grip. For some reason, he feels himself calm down in her arms.
"I can't," she whispers.
"..."
She holds him for a few more moments before letting go.
"I can't take something that already belongs to me~"
"..."
Vincent sighs heavily. Even without looking, he knows that she is laughing softly behind his back.
"You really know how to take it easy, don't you?"
She pauses for a moment and steps beside him.
"Sometimes, that is all we have left."
"..."
Yuyuko pats his shoulder reassuringly.
"So take it easy," she whispers.
"..."
"Just... take it easy... alright?"
[ ] Stay with her.
[ ] Leave the room.
