well, i didn’t
at least not for a while
she didn’t tell me about it until you guys had prom
because she thought I’d react badly
And...I won’t lie, I did react badly
but it wasn’t because they were dating
the fact she kept a secret from me hurt a lot
i understand what you went through isn’t comparable
but the point is...when you keep secrets from friends, it hurts when they inevitability find out
it’ll make them feel like you don’t trust them
so it’s fine if you don’t want to talk about things at length
but if anyone asks, just tell them the truth
no secrets, okay?
you went through a lot, you got hurt, but you’ll be fine
none of this “I won’t make people worry” stuff

it depends on the person
you’re not the type to push, so people don’t feel the need to tell you i guess
and if you know someone is like you, it’s fine if you don’t say anything
but it’s better to err on the side of caution, anya
you ever know with some people
personally...
id prefer to be in the know
okay?
i can’t speak for anyone else

[ Automatically, he hugs her back as well as he can -- with one arm, mostly. At the same time, he takes in the rest of the room with its wooden fabric chairs and health-minded posters and recognizes it as a hospital room. He almost can't believe he survived his injuries...
He won't disturb Anya from the hug, which it feels like she sorely needs, but his mind is elsewhere as he tries to wade through what happened while he was unconscious. ]
How long was I asleep? And your uncle...?
[ Was Chuuya somehow able to survive just as Yato has? ]

[ Was Chuuya somehow able to survive just as Yato has? ]
[ I'm gonna say this is after Baren so Yato is well acquainted with the totalitarianism of the mistletoe bat horde...
Killing the bats is apparently Not a Good Strategy, so when another one starts flapping gently after Yato, he sprints away at top speed. FUCK THIS MONTH HE WON'T BE A PRISONER FREE THE COMMON MAN
Alas, the bat is a persistent little vermin, so it follows him and follows him until he's too tired to run anymore. When Anya comes upon Yato, he'll be lying prone on the sidewalk, sweaty, facedown, and with a mistletoe bat settled peacefully on the back of his head and squeaking Mariah Carey. ]

[It's been a long time since he's had to put this skill to use, since Kashuu had refused to let him make anything out of the stupid roses his Mysterious Admirer left in his room. Still, Yasusada is nothing if not dedicated, and he'd practiced enough with Mikoto that he'd be hard-pressed to forget all those efforts now.
That's why, when he shows up, he's armed with supplies--with floral wire already shaped into circles of various sizes, it's left him plenty of room for all sorts of different winter flowers. No mistletoe bats, thankfully.]
Do you think these will be enough? I can go get some more if you want!

[ There's not many people he can say this kind of thing to, but, Anya's always been an exception to just about everything. ]
Apparently I have you to thank for Sawamura being a little less dense.
So, thanks, Anya.
Your optimism turned out right.
