Yang / Red
Yang sighed and attempted once again to listen to Mizuki’s instructions. Sit a certain way, breathe in slowly and exhale. This wasn’t exactly Yang’s first time meditating with Mizuki. So far every meditation session hasn’t been quite successful. However maybe this time it will be different?
~Mental Realm~
Yang and Red looked at each other. “Alright let’s talk” Red said while looking at her finger nails. They needed to talk especially after the prison break out. Something miraculous had happened during that event. They both realized that they had something in common. It was Mizuki. “Okay, I want to know what happened…” Yang spoke softly. Red wasn’t surprised with Yang’s statement. She had complete control of their body that day and usually when this happens Yang sleeps while in the mental realm. But something woke her up that day. It was Red’s desire to kill someone because this person had harmed the person that they cared about.
Ever since that realization that they both cared for Mizuki, they’ve been meaning to talk about it thoroughly. Because obviously they needed to clarify each other’s feelings for Mizuki. “Sit down” Red said knowing this would be a very long explanation. She knew that Yang would overact as soon as she tells her that she lost control of her quirk. But who could exactly blame her considering the extreme amount of stress that she was under?
Yang sighed and sat. Whatever Red wanted to tell her, it couldn’t have been good news because she wanted her to be seated if she were to go into shock. “As you know we had to stop the prisoners from getting to their goal…which was the school” Red began. Yang nodded remembering vaguely the beginning part at least. She remembered freezing and felt shame. When will she stop freezing when things get complicated? Why couldn’t she be stronger? Red looked at Yang. She knew the look on Yang’s face, she blamed herself for not being strong enough. It was true, Yang wasn’t strong enough not mentally anyways. Who knows what it would take for Yang to be strong in that sense?
“I got hurt saving some old man” Red sneered. Yang had a bewildered look on her face. It was probably the first time in a very long time since Red had admitted to messing up. She messed up in the sense of getting badly injured in combat. “Anyways” Red continued “I lost control of my quirk because of that bastard." She had put a specific emphasis on bastard because that how she felt about him. He was the bastard who harmed her and harmed Mizuki. If she ever had the opportunity, she would end his life. But she had vowed to not kill any more people after getting her vengeance.
“After harming me, he harmed Mizuki” Red grimaced. Yang grimaced as well. This was why she must have awoken from her slumber. Who would have known that their connection would be a person? But then of course now Yang wondered since when did Red care about Mizuki in that matter? “I lost control of the quirk and my temper because of what he did to her” Red shuddered as she remembered the murderous intent she had for this man. “Once it was over, we were taken to the infirmary and got treated. I also told Myrkul.”
Yang blinked. She wasn’t expecting Red to tell their father about that incident. Especially considering in Red’s version it was like they failed. Maybe because they did? Some of the criminals did escape and they knew Yang’s face because she still didn’t have a costume. Yang wondered if their father would act on this information. She wasn’t sure. But she did know one thing, this was going to be a long meditation session.

Mizuki smile at Antonio's response. "Thank you. I am glad you could join us. Sometimes finding inner peace is a hard thing to find. That is why I believe in the meditation my mother taught me. Finding the storm, accepting it, and finding the center that keeps your focus and at peace." And thanks to the internship that she did with Jessie-sensei, she was able to strengthen it. She never thought she could take her meditation to that level or discover that Tsuki was her all along. The person she wanted to be, a calming storm that is growing with Yang as her center.
She gave her instructions to her students and watch as the closed their eyes. "Remember," Mizuki said in a calming tone, relaxing her body. "The center can be something that makes you happy- something that keeps you grounded and at peace with yourself." Mizuki blushed a little as she looked at Yang. "The storm is all the problems that have come your way. Accept that storm. Pushing it away or getting rid of it causes more issues. Accept it." She took in a deep breath and let it out, blue steam coming from her nostrils. "When you come to terms with who you are and the storm in your life, you can find the center of it- the thing that keeps you focus and grounded. This could be someone you love or like. Or maybe things that give you joy in life."

The center can be something that makes you happy- something that keeps you grounded and at peace with yourself. He wondered what could that be. Narcissa? But, ever since she said no... she didnt make him happy but sad. He did eventually sort things out with her. But sadly, he cant find happiness. Sure he cares for her. But, lately things werent the best. So if he did not have her. What did he have? What makes him happy? Money?... Lust? Thats all he has. What an empty life that is surrounded by misery, sorrow and death.
Accept it
Accept it? Accept the pain, the misery, the sorrow and the deathS? Yes, plural. Deaths. Time does not move equally. Not to him. He saw death and if he continues to live this cursed life, he will see many more deaths. Even these kids, they will also go before him. Such a sad life it is for him. Should he accept that? Should he embrace it? Embrace death and become the Grim Reaper?
He took a deep breath. Breathe in and breathe out.
When you come to terms with who you are and the storm in your life, you can find the center of it He is a killer. A hitman. A man who works for the highest bidder. Money earns his alliegance. Money is the key to his happinest that enables his addiction. Lust. The only thing to fill him with some joy, be it so temporary.
This could be someone you love or like. Or maybe things that give you joy in life.
Money and lust. Money and lust. He kills for money. And uses said money for his lustful urges that bring him temporary joy in life. Yes joy. Thats what he needed. Basically, he needs to do what he kept doing. And he needed to supress any other feelings. Accept them and strangle them. He needs to kill people that he is hired to kill.

Post by Kiersa on Oct 16, 2020 11:16:36 GMT -4
Was she worth all this effort and trouble her mother was going through to keep Kiersa enrolled at UA? Was she worth the attention the school and her peers gave her? She doubted she would even be here, or in the situation that she was if she didn't luck out with her Quirk and get something useful like healing others...
Something that keeps her grounded and at peace with herself... What kept her grounded though? When was she most at peace with herself? Someone she loved or liked... or something that gave her joy in life... What did she enjoy? The young blonde had never had much in the way of time growing up to allow herself to indulge in something like a hobby before. Any clubs or after school activities had always been at Ikasa or Rin's behest, usually the latter more than the former.
The more Kiersa tried to think about it, the more she seemed to find herself mentally drowning in the maelstrom swirling inside of herself. But meditation wasn't about overthinking, it was about letting your mind clear. So, what did she enjoy? What kept her grounded when everything is chaos around her? What gave her a sense of worth?
And it finally clicked, with but a stray thought of memory.
When she'd done a good job, when she got a smile in return for her work. Even a form of silent praise such as that was enough for her at the end of it all. Kiersa thought back to the times she'd had to rescue the dorms kitchens after Colt or recently Momo had ransacked the place with their attempts at cooking, and the sighs of relief from the other dorm students when everything was back in order.
The smiles on other peoples faces as she helped them cross the road, or fixed a scraped knee with her Quirk... Little things like that, knowing that in those moments she was appreciated and valued. That she mattered in that moment...
She may not have worth in of herself, or in the grand scheme of things of the larger picture, but it was the little moments that held her worth. That was her center, just helping others and letting them smile. For whatever reason, however she did it, just helping them smile was enough for the young blonde.
Kiersa took in a slow breath and let it out once more, and found herself... relaxing? Was this what being relaxed felt like? It felt kind of warm and tingly, with her body feeling quite loose and fluid.
Wait. Warm and tingly? Why was her body tingling? The blonde cracked one eye open just a smidge, and gave a small eep as she realised that she'd triggered her Quirk unconsciously somehow, but for some reason it wasn't just localised around her hands like it usually was. Nope, her whole body was giving off a soft glow of light. She quickly turned it off and hoped that nobody had noticed.
How on earth had that happened? Was it because she was relaxed like that? This... needed some consideration and practice in her room later. After the lesson though.

Yang / Red
~Mental Realm~
Red was still very angry about what happened. She couldn’t understand why these feelings but it most likely had to do with Mizuki. Yang couldn’t believe that Red had emotions for other people. Ever since they lost their sister, Red didn’t care for anyone. Even their own father. If she even considered Myrkul a father. It was hard to tell with Red. This was probably the first meditation session in where Yang wasn’t immediately kicked out of the mental realm. Instead they were able to talk. It was really interesting.
~Reality~
Mizuki was teaching the class. She mentioned something about the center of the storm. The other participants reacted in their own way when she mentioned this. It was hard to tell since each of them were attempting to meditate.
~Mental Realm~
What Mizuki had said resonated loud enough to where Yang and Red heard it in the mental realm. The center of their storm? Did they even had a center? For so long they were at each other’s’ throats because they couldn’t agree about who was the original personality or who deserved to have control. But right now they were able to talk about an event without yelling at each other. This event had harmed someone that Yang cared deeply for but she never could imagine that Red had feelings for this same person as well.
Does this mean Mizuki was the center of their storm? Yang blushed. This was an interesting discovery. Red had sneered. If this was true, there is so much that could go wrong if Mizuki didn’t know the truth. Red had asked Mizuki to come home with her during upcoming summer break so Mizuki could have answers to the questions that Yang refused to answer and denied Red the opportunity to explain them herself. But Mizuki hasn’t given them the answer yet. What if Mizuki said no and never learns the truth? Could this relationship that was blossoming between Yang and Mizuki even continue?
It was hard to tell at this point. Red would rather not have feelings for someone who wouldn’t be able to return them back. It would absolutely kill the other persona. Yang had a hard time talking to people as is because of some stupid mental block. Red couldn’t imagine what Yang would like if her heart was broken again. Their heart had broken once before thanks to their sister’s death. It was hard to tell if Yang could handle another traumatic thing like that.
They both sighed. This was exhausting but obviously it needed to happen. However they would be more than eager to stop meditating and just hang out with Mizuki. For once they agreed with each other. It was super weird.
~Reality~
Yang broke from her meditation. She was the only one that wasn’t meditating at this point. She sighed and waited patiently for this session to end so she could spend precious time with Mizuki. While she waited, she looked at the sunrise. It looked serene.

Mizuki looked again at her students. It seemed that they were finding the answers they seeked. But what about her? Did she find the answers? She had been fighting herself for so long, denying the person she truly wanted to be. But now things were different. She had finally found purpose in what she wanted to do. To help her brother become number one. To bring some resolution to a city that has lost hope. To be with Yang and go home with her. Speaking of which, did she want to go home with her? Of course, she wanted to. But Yang still was unsure how to talk to her about her past. Mizuki knew this was not going to be an easy road.
The timer went off on her phone. She had no idea that time flew by that quickly. It was the end of the session. She clapped her hands, getting the attention of her three students. "This concludes our lesson for today," she said. It seemed that Kiersa was a little bit more relaxed than when she started the session, which was good. She wasn't sure how Antonio felt. Maybe there was a conflict that she had no understanding that he was dealing with. But all the same, she was happy that he came. And Yang... she could only imagine that part of her inner struggles dealt with her. "Do you guys have any questions before we leave for today?"

As the little meditation session ended, he opened his eyes. They were all informed the meditation session ended and were asked if they had any questions. Antonio smiled a bit and shook his head "No. Not me. But I will say it was an interesting experience. Who knows, maybe one day I do find my inner peace." he told Mizuki, after which he looked at Kiersa and was strangely glad to see she was doing ok.
He then looked at Yang and he still couldnt peg what was up with her. But still, even if he was the bad guy. He didnt want to intrude.
Antonio turned to the ladies "Well, I feel I disturbed you all enough. So I will go. Goodbye and have a nice day" he said to them all as he waved and started to walk away. He needs to learn how to deal with his longevity. He needs to learn to let go and untether himself from life and from bonds. If he cares for people, he will only suffer as he would watch his loved ones grow old and die. He couldnt bare to watch death again and again. Ironic considering his job deals with death. But his job dealt with different kind of death. It was something he had control
