"Hey... Shinrei... talk to me... what is it that you regret the most in your life?" Hayato asked Shinrei out of nowhere. Shinrei didn't really want to answer questions at the moment. When he felt that surge back at the abandoned area he realized something was going on and was concerned for his sister's safety. When he had been lead out to the desert without a sign of her he thought she might have been abducted, but he later found out from one of his men that wasn't the case. "I lived it. Though the past is not important. So I only move forward." Shinrei said coldly yet kept his answer to Hayato as blunt as possible. He didn't want to talk about the darkness that enveloped around the dueling world or the insane experiments that companies performed on children. When he asked him what he regretted most in his life it almost irritated him since it reminded him of the moment his monster attacked his sister. He couldn't do anything and allowed to take away three months of her life. Three months that he had no way of returning to her. He didn't want to say the real answer to what he regretted the most so he came up with the most likely other answer which might satisfy Hayato, "Being related to my father."
He informed him about Ben who was hugging his sister. In the past that might make him burn with anger, but he decided he would trust in his sister's decisions. If he made her happy then that was more than he could ever do and he was happy for his sister. If he could comfort her when she was crying in agony then he wouldn't stand in the way of someone who could watch over her better than he could. Hayato then asked where Shinrei was and that wasn't a question he really wanted to answer. It wasn't like him to throw himself into other people's problems, but Hayate that day was a nostalgic feeling he felt from his mother. He couldn't explain why he felt that way nor did he want to talk about it. "Reviewing a file."
Shinrei didn't really want to listen to anything Hayato said. He was coming off as annoying though to prevent a feud between the two he tried to satisfy him by answering what questions he found as valid. One of the students mentioned that a girl with silver hair was hauled off to the infirmary carried by a brunette haired boy. Shinrei decided to head in the direction of the infirmary to confirm if it was his sister.

Meawhile in the infirmary, Tsukiko lied in bed as she finally was starting to come to again. Her head was completely hazy as she couldn't really remember anything about what happened. She recalled bits and pieces that she summoned a monster that was so powerful that not even she could control it. She thought about that duel for a second then it hit her. She was coming back from the desert when she ran into Vincent who was coming down the flight of stairs to check on her he said, but she wasn't sure if that was entirely accurate or not. He challenged her to a duel where she felt strange during the course of the duel like something was trying to influence it. She wasn't entirely sure what it was, but she also remembered her card started to glow right before the duel started. It was obvious that card was Void Dragon, but she wasn't sure what it was trying to tell her.
She then remembered she could sense how powerful that card was and how dangerous it was if it fell into the wrong hands. That's when she finally realized that Shiyura was trying to warn her about using the card, but now that she used it the card she had been baptized by fire and now her fate was intertwined with it whether she wanted to accept that fact or not. It was then, she realized that boy that showed her that card when they were children was none other than her brother. It was the first card Shinrei had received from his mother before her death. A card that used to be really special to him until that fateful day during the Finals on the World Circuit. Shinrei was affected by the card in the same way she was on that day except he summoned a really powerful monster that she still couldn't remember the name of. If Shiyura had that monster then defeating him was not going to be as easy as she thought.
Tsukiko sat up on her bed as she used her palm to rub her head trying to focus as things were still a bit blurry and shaky. That monster she had used earlier felt like it had taken almost all the energy sucking her almost completely dry. She was still a little lethargic and a bit sleepy from the influence and negative effect it had on her body. Had that been someone else, she might have actually really hurt someone with the power of that card. It was Vincent though who had fully prepared himself against her double Fusion Summon which would have been curtain for most players. She didn't remember the result of the duel, because when she was finally freed from its control she felt sluggish where she collapsed within seconds after her monster disappeared. The monster may have disappeared, but its presence inside her had awakened. "He might not be that bad after all. Funny to think he'd care about girl like me who is always so negative about everything. Guess not all boys are bad." Tsukiko laughed as she lightly smiled trying not to let anyone see her doing it. She still didn't want to give the impression that she was a friendly girl as she still wasn't going to trust people so easily. That part of her didn't change, but she decided that she would allow Vincent an opportunity to get to know her better deciding he could be her friend like Ben.
