A Ballad of Unbending Chivalry - Chapter 5: Something to Strive For - Episode 3
Yuisis visits her parents' graves. A tete-a-tete with Elea there helps Yuisis break out of her slump. Realizing she simply has to follow her heart, Yuisis is ready to move forward.
Yuisis sneaks out of her hospital bed in the middle of the night to visit her parents' graves.
Yuisis: ...
Yuisis: Dad, Mom... I have something to tell you.
Yuisis: El is goin' to rebuild the Ditoria Knights as its new boss.
Yuisis: Only problem is, she's a very different El from the one we knew back in the day...
Yuisis: That's why it's likely gonna be very different from the Ditoria Knights of old...
Yuisis: ...
Yuisis: Dad, Mom... How do you think I should handle the situation?
Yuisis: I wanted to revive the family that you fought so hard to put together.
Yuisis: It's what's kept me goin' all these years. But look where that got me...
Yuisis: Not to mention El said I wouldn't be fit for leader...
Elsine: As it stands, I can't even acknowledge you as the rightful boss of the Ditoria Knights.
Elsine: As long as you keep up that naive way of thinking...
Elsine: If you were to restore the family, I would come to cut you down myself.
Yuisis: What do you think? Is El right about me not being fit to be leader?
Yuisis pours her heart out to her parents.
???: You talking to the bosses?
Surprised to hear another voice, Yuisis turns around to find Elea there.
Yuisis: Elea? What are you doing here...
Elea: I happened to spot you leaving the premises.
Elea: I was worried and thought I'd tag along.
Yuisis: ...
Elea: Tell me, Yuisis. What's on your mind right now?
Elea: I think talking it out with someone should lighten the burden.
Yuisis: ...
Elea: Despite my actions, you never gave up on me as family.
Elea: And so as your family, give me a chance to help.
Elea: Though if any part of you still sees me as a traitor, I'd completely understand...
Yuisis: Well, when you put it that way, I've got no choice but to tell ya...
With a smile, Yuisis reveals her inner struggles to Elea.
Yuisis: Any thoughts on how I should go about this, Elea?
Yuisis: El believes I'm bein' far too optimistic about it all, but...
Elea: Be yourself, Yuisis. Do what you want.
Yuisis: Huh...
Elea: If you ask me...
Elea: Only those with strong, unwavering conviction for their beliefs are worthy of being boss.
Elea: In that sense, Yuisis, you pass with flying colors.
Yuisis: But El said I...
Elea: People go about things differently. That goes for gangs too.
Elea: You and El hold different beliefs. And that extends to your notions of the ideal boss.
Yuisis: ...
Elea: My advice is to push forward with your own beliefs and become the boss that you envision.
Yuisis: But if the family falls apart and everyone suffers because of me, what then?
Elea: No point worrying about what-ifs.
Elea: Everything happens in its own time. Nothing lasts forever.
Elea: Focusing on the negative won't get you anywhere, especially not as the family boss.
Yuisis: ...
Elea: Focus instead on what it is you want to do, and how you want to go about it.
Elea: In other words, follow your heart. And most importantly, never lie to yourself.
Yuisis: Heheh...
Elea: What's so funny?
Yuisis: (Captain)'s crew once told me something really similar.
Yuisis: That it all comes down to me in the end...
Yuisis: One thing they said really struck a chord.
Yuisis: Which was that I need to do things my way.
Yuisis: That it all comes down to me in the end...
Yuisis: One thing they said really struck a chord.
Yuisis: Which was that I need to do things my way.
Yuisis: Your words reminded me of that.
Yuisis: Sure makes me realize how little I've grown. That's what the chuckle was for.
Elea: Ah... Sage advice from the boss of such a large crew.
Elea: That captain obviously understands what matters most.
Yuisis: Mm-hm. It's why I was so quick to accept (Captain) as family.
A genuine smile graces her lips, as if a curse has been lifted.
Yuisis: How could I forget... I need to stand up for my own beliefs.
Yuisis: Bein' tossed aside by the family I placed my trust in for so long made me lose my way.
Yuisis's expression is filled with a renewed vigor, suggesting that she's ready to take the next step.
