       Yor felt like she was sleeping on a cloud... drifting away. Her whole body was limp and relaxed. She moved a bit, and instantly regretted it as pain shot through her body. She flung her eyes open in response. Her whole body ached so bad. 'What happened..?' She wondered, still not recalling the events of the previous night. Suddenly, her brain flooded with memories, and she felt her heart sink. Loid knows... And he might be Twilight... She looked to her side, and saw the outline of a person beside her. Loid was there. He looked exhausted, and she immediately noticed the dark circles underneath his eyes. Her face completely flushed when she realized she was sleeping next to him. She decided not to move though because she didn't want to wake him up, nor did she want to move her body a lot. It ached badly. She closed her eyes, and tried to go back to sleep.

       Loid woke up, feeling refreshed. He was so exhausted last night that he didn't even think about it's horrible events before he went to sleep. He suddenly remembered Yor, and looked to his side to see where she was. She had her back turned to him, so he didn't know if she was awake or asleep. He decided not to wake her up... she went through so much the night prior... He snapped out of his thoughts before they spiraled out of control once he heard a little cough, and grunt. Yor moved a bit. "Yor? Are you awake?" He asked quietly. Yor turned her head slowly. "...Loid..?" She innocently replied. He quickly sat up and helped her sit up as well. She gritted her teeth in pain as he helped her. "My whole torso hurts." She muttered, rubbing her waist. "Did you struggle against the chains?" He asked in concern. "They... knocked me out I think. My head hurts here." She reached her hand up and touched the back of her head. She winced and brought it back down. "I did struggle when I woke up in the cell, I think because I was really scared." She mumbled, lowering her head. Loid frowned. He was so pissed at Frankie and Handler. "Did the guards hit you?" He asked, already knowing the answer. Yor teared up. "Yes, with their fists, then with a metal pole once on my arms. And they put the knife on my neck too... they were really aggressive..." Yor's voice shivered, and a tear slipped down her cheek. Loid gently reached over to her, scooting closer until he could embrace her. Yor relaxed in his arms, and sighed. "I'm sorry... are you mad at me?" She whispered in concern. "No sweetheart I'm not, don't worry about it okay?" He rubbed her back reassuringly. "Loid... I'm just confused about one thing..." She looked up at him, still clinging to his chest. "What is it?" He asked gently. "Are you Twilight? Like the spy Twilight?" She wondered, her eyes fixated at him. "Yes... we have a lot to talk about." He mumbled. Yor nodded in agreement. They sat there in silence for a few minutes until Yor groaned in pain. "My back hurts." She straightened her back, rubbing it. "Lay down sweetheart, you need to rest, your body is really bruised." Loid mumbled as he fixed her pillows. Yor blushed and frowned. "You said it again." She muttered. "Hm?" He asked looking at her. "You called me sweetheart again... for like the third time..." She blushed deeper, genuinely confused. He looked shocked for a second, and felt his heart skip a few beats. Did that make her uncomfortable? He didn't mean it, the word just came out without him thinking. "I- uh- I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable." He stuttered. "N-No! I'm just... confused." She explained frantically. "We'll talk about it today, okay?" He grinned at her. "Yes." She smiled back. "Y-you can keep calling me that if you want! I-it's not like I hate it." She stumbled on her words. Loid giggled slightly, then bent down and kissed her forehead. "Get some rest, okay? I'll go check up on Anya and Roxy." He said, standing up. Yor nodded, her face burning. She watched him walk out of the room and close the door behind him. She sighed deeply... 'today is gonna be a long day...'

Roxy stood in the kitchen, making breakfast for everyone. Her mind was racing with questions, and she couldn't sleep the night prior. She whisked the omelet, still not able to concentrate on anything other than what happened with Loid and Yor. Anya came out of her room, school uniform on, and walked silently to the table. She jumped up onto the chair, and sat there quietly. She looked concerned, and she kept looking at her parent's bedroom door constantly. Loid suddenly came out of the bathroom. "Papa!" She screamed, jumping off her chair. She ran towards him at full speed, and grabbed his leg. "Papa! Where is mama? Is she okay? Is mama hurt? Are you mad at mama?" She asked frantically, catching Roxy's attention. Loid bent down to calm her down. "Anya, your mother is fine, why are you so scared? She just had a little accident is all!" He forced a big smile onto his face. Anya's eyes filled with tears, and she ran straight to his bedroom. Loid tried to catch her before she opened the door, but she dodged him and ran inside. Yor was startled at the sight of her daughter and husband running inside the room so suddenly. Anya jumped onto the bed and straight into Yor's arms. Yor flinched in pain for a second, but she quickly started comforting Anya. "What's wrong Anya?" Yor asked, hugging Anya tightly. "A-Anya was worried that mama got hurt." Anya sobbed. "It's okay my little princess, I'm okay." Yor bent down and kissed Anya's cheeks, wiping her tears away. Anya suddenly beamed, and giggled. "I love you mama..." She said, burying her face into Yor's chest, and hugging her. "I love you more." Loid was watching the whole encounter, feeling this warmth spread through his entire body. Yet, he was still confused about Anya... how did she know Yor might be hurt? And why did she keep asking him if he's mad at Yor? He narrowed his eyes at them for a second. Yor looked up at him and smiled slightly. He walked up to the edge of the bed, sitting down beside them, and bringing them both into his arms. Yor clung to his neck immediately, and Anya hugged both of them. He kissed both of their foreheads and tried to comfort Anya. "Papa... will you leave Anya?" She mumbled clinging to his chest. Loid was caught of guard by the question. Yor quickly looked up at him in confusion. He broke into a cold sweat. This should be an easy question to answer with a lie, but... he couldn't lie... Did he want to leave Anya and Yor..? No! Of course he didn't! "I'll never leave you my little princess." He replied confidently. Anya looked up at him in shock, her cute big green eyes widening. "Never?" She asked, surprised. "Never." He smiled at both her and Yor. They giggled.
