WEEK 2 - TUESDAY; LIGHT + YUKINA (morning, hunting lodge)
[ On Tuesday morning, Seto is missing from the dining hall at breakfast.
The reason why is evident when Light and Yukina enter the hunting lodge and then subsequently the firing range - Seto has a pistol in his hand, and his concentration is on the stationary dummies that serve as targets littered throughout the firing range. From his stance, the way he handles the gun with intent, and the almost unflinching way that he fires blanks into dummies with an accuracy that only comes from training, it's easy to tell that Seto Kaiba is intimately familiar with the intricacies of a gun - even if said weapon provided by the lodge is several decades outdated.
When this round of ammunition has been expended, he'll turn around to reload the pistol with another round of blanks, although before he can do so, he'll do a slight double take and take out the earplugs in his ears (that's the only reason why he hadn't heard them approach, earlier).
Apparently he's lost track of time.
He's careful with the way he stows the gun away before he rejoins Light and Yukina. The gun may only have blanks, but he'd rather be safe than be accused of murder.
He frowns.
Perhaps it's just him, but Light and Yukina look exhausted. ]
... Rough night?

Seto flinches, forces himself to stop thinking, and lets out a sound that he approximates to be bitter laughter. (It doesn't sound anything like it.) God fucking damn it. He supposes the memory of being unable to save Mokuba is traumatic enough to feed the night terrors, if he weren't immune to them.
He nods.
As far as night terrors go, this is something that he can still fake. Might as well slip into the role right now if he can, right? ]
I can work with that.
[ There's a forced, eerie sense of calm over his features. He folds his arms across his chest.
Someone, please change the topic? ]

Maybe it's for the better that he's not having the memory forced on him.]
...I'll ask Craftly-san tonight... for some makeup. Later on in the week, it will look strange if you don't have circles under your eyes. [She traces under her eye with a finger, indicating.] We can meet in the morning and make it look like you had trouble sleeping. Just... try not to look at anyone directly before then.
