[Story] Overcoming Trauma )

--------------------------------------

[Post]

So a few days ago, dad came to me with an idea for tackling my trauma regarding Ancient Gears, in the hopes that it will help me start associating them with more positive things.

Long story short, we've adopted a Ancient Gear Beast that was found wandering the streets of Domino City by SAI a few months ago.

The transition of having it in the house... hasn't been easy so far.
Just knowing it's presence is here has aggravated the nightmares I have, so I haven't been sleeping too well the past few nights, even though the beast has done nothing to cause it. In fact, it's incredibly docile and acts just like any other dog. Just... mechanical. It's also fairly timid and is easily scared.
I'm hoping the increase in nightmares is just a 'things get worse before they get better' kind of deal.

The cats we have in the house haven't taken a liking to Bolt either and tend to hiss and swipe at him. He's made of metal, so they don't hurt or damage him, but he still whimpers and cowers in a corner when they do this.

For now, I'm just slowly trying to integrate it's care into my daily routine, a bit at a time, so that both Bolt (which is what I named him) and I can slowly gain trust in each other.

I'll be honest, I'm feeling a little tired and overwhelmed with this change, especially since my mind and body keep making me feel like I'm unsafe in my own home with Bolt's presence, but I just have to keep trying to fight that feeling.

We're going to see how things are between myself and Bolt in a months time.

So an update on our dad:

We managed to arrange for him to be flown from New York back to Japan the other night. He was transferred instantly to the hospital here in Maiami City who have been assessing his injuries.

Looks like the only serious injury was to his left leg, but it's badly broken. Today they will be taking him in for an operation to set the bones right so they can heal correctly. We're hoping we'll have him home in the next few days, but he has months of healing to do, if not longer. The hospital aren't sure yet how the leg will heal and if he'll ever be able to go back to Action Dueling. Sadly only time will tell for that.
Other than this, any other injuries he has are minor, which is honestly a miracle considering the height he fell from and he's in fairly good spirits despite everything.

It's certainly been a stressful last few days for us all as a family. I think it's catching up a little with me, but I honestly feel I can't rest until dad is safely home with us.

*Yuto is sat at a table hidden away in the corner of a very busy café in Domino City. So busy in fact that most of the seats are taken and the only free one seems to be on his table.

He seems a little tired and absent as he stares into the barely touched cappuccino he has in front of him.
He looks like he probably could use the company for a bit.*
