Outside of the door, Amity stood waiting with the weapons in a pile next to her as Luz walked out and faced her.

"Did everything-" Amity was cut off as Luz hugged her, surprising her.

"Thank you." Luz said to her.

"I should be thanking you." Amity said.

"You stopped me from making a big mistake." Luz said.

"And you helped me save my siblings. And you're still saving me too." Amity said as they pulled apart. "Come on, let's go back downstairs."

Luz nodded as she picked up all of her weapons and walked down with Amity to see the worried faces of Eda, King, and Hooty in the den.

"Are you okay, Kid?" Eda asked, worried for Luz.

"Yeah. I think I am. And.....I'm sorry about that. Just a nightmare gone wrong." Luz said with a sad smile.

"Kid, never apologize for that." Eda said, hugging Luz. "You didn't mean to do it."

"But I still attacked you. My mind is going nuts. I need something to help with these flashbacks or else I'm gonna kill someone before I snap out of it." Luz said, holding her head down.

"Maybe Eda can make you something." Hooty suggests. "After all, she's also mentally unstable."

That comment resulted in a loud whack and Hooty went back to the door with a black eye.

"Fuck you, Hooty." Eda said with a glare.

"Hehehehe." King chuckled a bit.

"What are you laughing at, tiny?" Eda asked, breaking the hug with Luz.

"He's kind of right." King said, pointing to Eda. "You are kind of unstable."

"Everyone is unstable, it's nothing special." Eda argued.

"Is it usually like this here?" Amity asked.

"Kind of." Luz said, smiling at Eda and King.

Amity stared back to Eda and King, seeing them argue but found it....nice. Very nice compared to her own home.

'I kind of wish my family was like this.' Amity thought.

"Need someone to walk you home?" Luz asked.

"Oh! Right, no no. I'm fine." Amity said, coming from her thoughts.

"You sure?" Luz asked her.

"Completely, I can walk home on my own." Amity said before she held out her hand. "But do you have a piece of paper? I want to give you my Pennstagram information so we can stay in touch."

"Oh, okay." Luz said with a nod.

Luz looked around before grabbing a piece of paper from the coffee table and handed it to Amity. The witch used some abomination magic to write on it, giving Luz her contact information.

"I guess I'll talk to you later." Luz said.

"Yeah it'll be nice to talk to you." Amity said, rubbing the light scar on her forehead. "Thanks again for everything."

Amity left and Eda handed Luz something.

"Well, that paper won't do much good without one of these." Eda said.

Looking at the object, Luz watched it unfurl to show it was a scroll. A witch and demon version of a phone on earth.

"You're giving me this? What about you?" Luz asked.

"That's not mine, I stole that from a shop a year ago." Eda said with a shrug, pulling out her own scroll.

"She just keeps it as a spare. Still, you're lucky to have it! I've been asking for it for a year!" King shouted.
