Her battle was over and her life had been spent finishing the Great Seal, but her time in the hotel had given her new breath and warmth. It had been trying, to say the least, but after seeing and doing everything she had, she learned to appreciate the time she had left, almost sure that when she left the hotel, she'd be silently locked away as the

I took long enough to get to this. OTL;

It wouldn't take long for a message to get sent to the dorm building, one regarding an ally they had 'lost' on October 4th. One Shinjiro Aragaki, who had slipped into a coma and remained in such for months, had finally awakened and was expected to be released from hospitalization that day.

He found that some of the events leading to him being there were starting to get blurry, but the punk didn't care. Instead, just continued to rest in the bed at the hospital, stuck in a hospital gown even though they had taken the IV drip out. He'd be able to get dressed and leave later, but even if he finally regained consciousness he was still exhausted. It had been months since his body had even had to move, after all.

How did everyone else do? No one gave him any word, but he still wasn't sure if the Dark Hour was still there or not... He'd have to stay up until midnight to find out. Of course, there was always word of mouth but... They probably wouldn't have time to visit him.

Of course she'd gotten the message. At first, she'd found it a little odd that no one was at the dorm but why should it be? After all, they all had their own lives and no one had known she would be back even if it was just for a visit. Still, she would've liked to have seen all of them.

That didn't mean that she hadn't gone racing out the door as soon as she'd gotten the message that someone she'd missed so much had finally awakened.

A quick trip on the train and a short walk had her almost ready to burst through the door, unable to contain her excitement, but like a polite young woman, she paused and knocked before poking her head in.

There was no mistaking the warm, happy smile on her face.

"About time you rolled outta bed!"

Hee. <3

He turned to face her, giving her a once over before looking away with a slight 'tch' noise.

"It's March now, right? Looks like you handled things just fine without me."

The smile never faltered even if it dimmed the tiniest bit. As soon as she was in the room, she quietly closed the door behind her before she moved to settle herself on the edge of his bed.

"We still would've wanted you there. Don't you dare think otherwise."
