When they went through the portal, Dr. Jimmy, Mixxiw, Gun, Off, P'Zee and Ciize were waiting for them just outside the passage.  Ciize was wearing a nurse's outfit, and Fourth immediately understood what role she had assumed at the Institute.  Only then did it dawn on him that time on Earth was indeed slower than it was on Gaia II.  Everyone immediately rushed to help and took the injured to the doctor's office.  Jimmy asked Gemini, First and the others who were not injured to wait outside, and they did as he was told without protest.

Joong sat on the floor, leaning his back against the wall.  Kaownah, too tired to think about it, took a seat next to him, resting his head on his shoulder.  Gemini was circling the entire corridor back and forth, unable to find a place for himself.

“Don't worry, it'll be fine, my brother's a tough guy, he'll be fine,” First assured him, conjuring up a cup of hot drink for everyone.  Gem cupped his pink mug with both hands, warming them in this way.  The coldness of the old cellar of the long-abandoned strange castle-like building still bothered him.

“I know.  It's just that all these emotions haven't left me yet,” Gemini explained, though his voice wasn't calm and lacked the usual confidence.

“I see.  Want to go for a short walk?”

“I don't know if I can, what if Fourth wants to see me?” Gemini doubted.  He didn't want to miss a moment when Fourth might need him.  He wanted to be with him.  He'd love to go into the infirmary right now, if only Dr. Jimmy would let him.

“He'll survive few more minutes without you.”

“But I can't survive without him anymore”.  Gemini replied making a very sad, full of charming regret face.  First placed a hand on his shoulder and began to gently push him towards the door that led to the hidden gardens.

“Come with me, we both need to catch our breath and rest in the fresh air for a while.”

Gemini finally gave up and let First take him where he wanted.  As soon as they crossed the gate to the secret gardens, something immediately ran up to Gemini.  Gem looked down a bit and saw a beautiful, robust lion with a lush mane.  In their magical world, the animals were also magical.  He quickly noticed that this particular young lion's mane was unlike any he had seen before.  As he stroked the huge cat demanding caresses, he noticed that someone had plaited its mane into braids ending with bows of different colors.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh.

“Who did it?”  he asked amused.

“What do you think, who could it be? Hmmm?”

“I bet... uh... I bet you.” Gem pointed his finger at First, who smiled mysteriously.

“You missed!  Dunk with Phuwin!  It was their idea. They thought it was funny, they wanted to make you laugh when you come back”.
