Volunteers

Yuri walked down from the stairs, noticing an odd vibe in the living room. She didn't pay it much mind, heading into the kitchen to make some fresh juice. 

Just as she stepped into the kitchen, Tuss walked in behind her. He grabbed the cup she was holding and muttered, "We're not inviting them over again." 

Yuri replied nonchalantly, "Whatever you say. As long as you're happy."

At her words, Tuss broke into a smile, his previous grumpiness dissipating like smoke. 

News of Tuss's discharge from the hospital spread quickly. Officials from Planet Alpha, those he knew and those he didn't, nearly all sent greetings. There were plenty of visitors too. 

Yuri, growing tired of the constant influx of guests, decided to flee home and hide out in a hotel. 

After spending a day alone at home, Tuss decided to follow suit. He went to find Yuri at the hotel on the second day.
