Your morning was... rushed to say the least. From the moment you woke up, ENA was zipping around the place, her mind seemingly travelling 100 miles a minute as she babbled on about getting Moony's present ready. Your still sleep addled brain decided that you did not feel like trying to understand and simply zoned everything out as you drunk this world's version of a coffee. It tickled your mouth, making it feel all fuzzy and numb, but other than that, it was pretty much the same as the coffee on Earth.

"(Y/N) my dearest chum! Would you feel inclined to join me on my journey to present my gift to Moony?" ENA asked cheerfully and, you didn't mean to sound rude, but it was just too cheerful for you at the moment.

"Mmm, yeah, sure. Sounds fun" You mumbled, rubbing your tired eyes. You instantly knew something was up when the room's atmosphere dulled considerably. You turned around to see ENA trying her hardest to push back the blue. However sluggish you were, you still managed to find the energy to comfort her.

"Sshh, it's ok, ENA, I'm just a little tired at the moment, I would love to join you" Was it bad you were already getting good at comforting ENA so well, so quickly? Whatever, you didn't really dwell on that thought for too long.

After a few moments of silence, you felt ENA gently tapping you on your arm, prompting you to loosen the hug so she could wipe away the few tears that still remained. The polygon gave you a bashful smile, sniffling a few times.

"I'm okay now" She said quietly, standing up. You joined her, giving her a warm smile before walking back to the table to grab your jumper. It suddenly struck you, that ENA was taller than you, like, much taller than you. Why you hadn't noticed this earlier, you didn't know, but she was at least a good half a head taller than you.

"We should probably make haste if we are to reach Moony in time" ENA said, grabbing something that you couldn't quite see before tucking it carefully somewhere in her pockets.

You felt your stomach twist at the thought of having to go through the tunnel of madness again, and you were certain that it showed on your face as ENA gave you a concerned glance.

"If you need to, you can hold my hand" Was that a hint of nervousness in her voice? You could've sworn it was, but you brushed it off. You were certain you would take her up on that offer if it was anything like yesterday.

And it certainly was. At least with ENA there, it was a little more manageable, but the feeling of rising like you were in an elevator made you stomach lurch. You were vaguely aware of ENA squeezing your hand sympathetically. How did she every get used to this?

But like before, you readjusted yourself fairly quickly and easily, all while ENA still gave you a helping hand when you needed. It felt nice, a change of pace for you. It made you realise that you probably weren't as happy as you thought you were back at your old life. What was it about ENA that made you feel... normal? Was that the right word. Well, you couldn't really put a finger on what you felt, so you brushed that thought away for later.

"Ah! We have arrived!" ENA exclaimed out of nowhere, and to no one, you realised. The only things around you were the familiar gray expanse that you had started getting used to, a few gray rocks, a weird console looking thing, a rather large and plush looking, blue recliner chair and the head of an old statue.

"Salutations, sir! May we please enter?" ENA asked to thin air, waving her arms around in expression, something you found that suited her quite well. "We have some urgent information to communicate to our pal, Moony".
