She was so familiar to him, as though she was a dream he had soon forgot and to her he was nothing at all but the person who made her glow and she wonders if she'll finally be able to say it- Unaware that it was fate tying them both together now; De...

Bou-san and Lin moved Eijirou-san to the storeroom in the immediate vicinity of the living room. While Naru contacted John outside, Ayako and Akemi took the room beside the headquarters to help Akemi prepare for her exorcism. Which took a little over past Eleven o'clock when they arrived.
The first to arrive before that, besides Bou-san and Lin who were already guarding the still unconscious Eijirou, was Naru. His stance not at all calm as he still kept to himself with an alert gaze. His arms crossed in his chest, internally letting an index finger tap in his head as he waited.
That was the sight Mai sees she came in next. Stepping inside the room as quietly as she can as though any loud sound could wake up Eijirou and placing herself beside Naru, Mai clasps her hands behind her back, glancing at the boy beside her. "So can John come?"
Naru without removing his gaze from Eijirou, lightly nods. Unaware of Mai trying her best to step closer, "Yes. He said he'll depart from the other side on the first plane tomorrow with Hara-san."
At the mention of the medium, Mai felt her brow twitched and stopped her advances. 'Why was Masako coming?' Letting her jealousy get the best of her, Mai's words were filled with sarcasm. "Wow. With Masako, huh? You also called Masako?"
Naru took note of the tone, a frown making its way to his face as he turns to stare Mai in confusion. "I don't want to be outmaneuvered. This way, we'll avoid trouble." He uncrosses his arms. Stepping away to reach the sliding doors to check over some of the monitors and cameras they'll use for the exorcism.
Mai shrugs her shoulders, 'Hmm, I'm not so sure...'
Soon after their conversation, Akifumi was the only family member there— opting to stand on the corner while they all waited for Akemi to join the room.
It was then that the doors to the storeroom slid open, Ayako being the one to touch and Akemi took slow steps to walk inside. Her hands pressed elegantly on her abdomen with herself being adorned with her pure white traditional dress. The people on the room who hasn't seen Akemi kept their eyes staring in awe, unable to look away as though they have seen a moon fairy. They watched Akemi touched the hem of her attire, lifting it to reveal a shy part of her ankles— some of them couldn't help but look away as though they were giving Akemi her privacy. An act back to the conservative centuries.
Akemi takes off her wooden sandals, letting her hands and arms situate itself back to her sides. Taking a deep breath in, and at her exhale, like an angel coming to save Eijirou's pain, knelt in front of him with her catalpa bow already in front. Akemi took out her beads, whispering a few words unrecognizable to the ears of others before throwing her white beads up and letting it circle with Eijirou, still passed out inside. Though he was soon twitching at the sound of Akemi's chant.
With a shake of her bead and another thump from her bow, Eijirou's eyes snapped open. His eyes with baited breath, the others prayed with her in hopes on saving Eijirou. "I ask that my request be heard and answered, purify this vessel and may peace and calm be granted." In the corner of the room, the video camera was fixed on staring at Eijirou who suddenly starts to twitch.
