"Yumi?" Kat, after a while, asked, "Yumi, is that you?"
Yumi was stunned.
"Yumi, help me, I can't see," Kat cried, "Yumi!"
Yumi's eyes were damp, "I'm here Kat," she reached out for Kat's hand.
"Yumi, can you turn on a light? I can't see," Kat was struggling to find Yumi's hand.
"Kat," Yumi sat on Kat's bed, "I'm right here," she patted the bed so Kat knew where Yumi was.
"Yumi, please, turn on a light."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"Cause they're not," Yumi gulped down sadness.
"Working?" Kat was next to her, looking around blindly, "They're not working Yumi? Can you turn on a flashlight?"
"No."
"You don't have one?"
"How can you tell someone they're blind?"
"Yumi, don't leave me."
"I'm right here."
"Help me, I can't see in the dark."
"I'm here, Kat, right here."
Kat moved closer, her foot slipped off the bed, "Yumi!" Kat clung to Yumi.
Yumi pulled her back onto the bed.
"Where am I?"
"Infirmary."
"Did the lights go out?"
"No."
"Did Xana attack?"
"No."
"What happened?"
"You got sick."
"With what?"
"You got sick with, with, Scarlet Fever."
"I'm not, I'm not blind? Am I Yumi?" Tear's were running down Kat's face, Yumi joined in crying not soon after, Yumi held Kat in a hug.
She cried, Yumi cried, for Kat and her friends, she cried for Jeremie, stuck with a bunch of idiots, she cried for Odd, too dumb for his own good, she cried for Ulrich, stuck between two girls, she cried for Aelita, stuck on Lyoko, she cried she cried again for Jeremie, his true, and probably only, love kept away from him, she cried for Kat's cat stuck in Kat's dorm, alone, she cried for Kat losing most of her friends, her sight, her boyfriend, she cried for Sissy, too ignorant to realize Ulrich didn't like her.
Kat was gently pulled away from Yumi the same time a pair of arms caressed her and a voice whispered soothing words, Yumi cried on, moving closer to the person holding her, a hand brushed hair away from her tear stained face. Her crying slowed and then finally stopped.
She looked up, her eyes questing for a kind face, she found it, Ulrich looked down at her, upset. Yumi was roughly pulled back into reality, she had a job to do and something to solve, Ulrich pulled away revealing Odd.
"Yumi?" Odd asked holding back something, tears or laughter, it was impossible, "Dorthy told us not to disturb you because according to her, Sissy came in and insulted you, you turned right around and punched her."
Yumi blushed.
"Yumi?" A voice asked, "Why were you crying?"
Yumi looked up to see Aelita's face, "Aelita!" She jumped up and hugged Aelita, launching into tears anew.
"Yumi... did I upset you?"
"What"
"Your crying are you not upset when you cry?"
"Aelita," Yumi was holding her by the shoulders and holding back laughter, "People cry when they're happy too."
"Oh, so you're happy?" Aelita smiled.
