Note One: How can I fight…?

It was a normal day…. Nothing unexpected happened… Nothing to worry about… Just some duels and stuff, nothing more… Nothing dangerous…At least, that's what it seemed….

"Man, I'm tired! G'night Astral!" Yuma jumped to his hammock preparing to sleep.

"Good night Yuma…" Astral saw how Yuma yawned and fall asleep.

Astral was bored; tonight there weren't going to put ESper Robin in the magic box. He didn't want to be in the key, he looked for something to entertain him. He saw the stars through the window…

"Yuma says that the tiny shining dots are named 'stars'… I like them…" Astral stayed watching the stars. He really loved watching them, it was something special. Astral wondered if in the Astral World there were stars. "It sure would be fantastic…"

He would have stayed watching them but he prefers to watch them outside, inside the stars can't be seen clearly. Sadly, the window was closed, so he can't be outside. He searched for something else to entertain himself, but he found nothing.

Astral, then, stayed in the middle of the room floating, with nothing to do. He watches Yuma in his sleep, but soon finds it boring. "It's interesting how Yuma seems so calm when he is in his sleep, he seems different. But this doesn't entertain me right now…"

He looks for something else to do, but can't find anything. Frustrated he watches the books and notebooks Yuma left in the floor. He starts to read some things. "What's the square root of fifteen… Mmm… What would be a square root?"

Astral was curious about human learning. He casually began reading Yuma's math homework; he found amusing how many numbers and letters could be in a simple math problem. He continued watching problems until he couldn't because the page ended.

"Sometimes I wish I could touch things…" With a sigh Astral continued reading the others things written in the books and notebooks. He found many things, like: the history of Japan, the effects of Duel Monsters, math problems, the human body (which he stayed reading for a long time), many words he didn't understand, and something about stars. He found the last one very interesting.

"According to this, the science that studies the stars is the Astronomy… There's also a type of science named Astrology, both study the stars… Interesting… I wonder if my and the Astral World's name comes from this…" Astral really loved to learn new things; it was something amazing for him. Learning about the stars was especially amazing, since he liked so much the stars.

He would learn every tiny detail if he could, but he can't. He memorized everything that had to do with the stars and after he memorized that he started searching if he could find more. But something stopped him. He saw a tiny piece of paper below one of the notebooks.

He could see what was written on it. He read it loudly.

"How can I continue fighting when I can't do anything and I'm completely defeated by my best friend?"

Astral opened his eyes widely. He was really surprised. He recognized Yuma's handwriting. "What does that means? Why would Yuma write that?" He didn't understand. Yuma seemed to be fine; he didn't seem down or anything like that. He seemed so happy and energetic…

"Why would Yuma write something so… Depressive?" Astral knew something was wrong, he would ask Yuma later. He knew Yuma wouldn't write that if everything was fine. "There must be a reason for this…" He says to himself.

Astral stayed watching Yuma in his sleep, waiting patiently for a new day to come. He needed to know what happened to Yuma that make him write that.

And he was going to get his answers, no matter what…
