[And just like that, Asuka finds herself standing alone in the darkness, not even a gust of wind breaking the deafening silence of that empty place. Suddenly she is all too aware that she is standing in a strange building, in a strange land, and that the one person she could truly call a friend has just been taken from her, without her knowing how or why or able to do anything to get him back.
More than ever as she stares after Juudai's departing body, she feels a hollowness growing inside her, not as all consuming as the one forced upon her in that dark world, but in some ways even more terrifying. Right at that moment, she would have given anything to have Fubuki, or Sho, or Manjoume, or even Hayato or Misawa there with her.
But they're not, and she cannot rely on her friends to fight her battles for her. Not if she is going to stand on her own two feet as an adult, and not if she is ever going to expect others to trust her with their own futures. No, it is not time for self pity, much as Yubel's mercurial temper, Johan's frighteningly familiar rage, or Ryou's inner demons make her want to curl up and hide.
The others will not come to her, will not ask for her help, so she will just have to do what she can on her own. So, taking a deep breath, she turns and walks back to her room, to get changed and begin the hunt for her lost friend]
