SAME DAY, SUNDAY, WITH ISSEI.

Issei: Agh - complaining as he woke up from a long sleep - ugh...this sucks - trying to get up without success.

Issei was in complete darkness again, there was no noise except his breathing or attempts to do something.

Issei gave up and decided to wait for his body to wake up completely to try to do something, while time passed, Issei just reflected lying on the ground.

Issei: 'Hehe going from the hero of the factions, one of the strongest existences to a person who can't even stand up, man, I'm pathetic...I'm even worse than I started...wait, I feel sad, my feelings are coming back, yes!'

After waiting about 20 minutes, Issei began to struggle to get up, making a lot of effort to sit up.

Issei: Come on, I can't stay down all day - putting more strength and standing up completely.

Then he took his first step and fell to the ground again and when he did, he ended up bruising his jaw and busting his nose.

Issei: AAAAAAAAAGGHHH! - groaning as he turned over on his back on the ground while squeezing his bleeding nose.

Issei writhed until the pain subsided but the bleeding didn't stop.

Issei: How pathetic - sitting up from the ground - agh! - removing one of his hands from his nose and feeling how it had a lot of blood on it - dying from a nosebleed, how poetic and ironic - sarcasm was laced into his voice.

Issei sighed seeing the darkness while his nose did not stop bleeding, then Issei heard a noise from his right and when he turned he found someone.

Issei: Eh... have I gone crazy? What are you doing here, Sera-chan - seeing that his betrothed was there with him.

A.Serafall: What are you doing on the ground? - tilting her head in confusion.

Note: A.Serafall means Astral Serafall

Issei: I can't get up, can't you see?

A.Serafall: Hmm, that's why you don't do anything? Do you want to go back to what you were? - as she bent down to his level, remaining on her heels, wearing the outfit that Issei last saw her in.

Issei: You do know that I can see your panties, right? - looking up her legs and considering the slit on her skirt allowed him to see what was underneath from where he was laying.

A.Serafall: You've already seen me naked and we've had over 50 rounds of sex, but if showing them to you will make you stand up or do something, I'll show them to you - shrugging off his comment, not having much care for her modesty.

Issei: Hehe, I didn't mean it like that...agh - sitting up with difficulty and standing up from the ground - it's just that others could see them - giving her a small smile.

A.Serafall: Hmph, well, now you can't see them - referring to his standing position - so what are you doing? - getting up and looking into Issei's eyes.

Issei: I don't know but I'll figure it out.

A.Serafall: Well, good luck - as she began to disappear.

Issei: Bye - his eyes showed a flash of sadness.

A. Serafall: Hmm? Why are you sad? You know I'm your imagination, so what's wrong? - catching that flash of sadness in his eyes as she was still fading.

Issei: Well - putting his hand on Serafall's cheek - because I won't be able to see you for a long time, real or imaginary, I won't be able to do it - putting on a sad smile.
