"Hey, wake up!"

"Awake! 'm awake" Y/N let's out a yelp disoriented, looking around himself before his eyes land on the pink haired girl standing infront of him

"We're here, c'mon!" She says, smiling softly as she grabs his hand, pulling the still-in-shook male along with her

"I'm still here" he mumbles to himself, rubbing the sleepiness from his eyes as he looks around himself to find the other four still present.

"something wrong?" He jumps slightly at both the touch and the male voice on his shoulder, turning to find Caelus looking directly at him with a slight pout

"Yeah- yeah just needed a break, I'm not used to everything being this fast paced" Y/N says, giving an apologetic smile as he looks back at Caelus.

"Don't know how to process the situation?" Caelus asks, letting go of Y/N's shoulder and walking beside him, March having dropped his hand a ling time ago

"Jeez- is it that easy to tell?" He says sighing as he stretches, hearing his back pop back into place

"No, but I do know what that feels like" Caelus replies, patting his back

"You do?" Y/N answers, he does know that Caelus was basically just reborn into this situation with no memory whatsoever and thrown into this Chaos, but didn't really know how to comfort him.

Before he could answer, March opens the door to a new office, immediately being greeted with a new voice

"Your back" The woman speaks with an excited undertone. Her hair a bright red, with curled ends. Her neck adorns a golden flower, together with the beginning of her long white dress, which was adorned with golden accents as well, matching the flower on her neck.

"Himeko- What took you so long! That last wave of Antimatter Legion came at us like a wave of locus, ever tried shooting locus with a bow before?!" March says without any mention of a 'hello' in sight.

'Girl I don't even know what a locus is' Y/N thinks, awkwardly standing at the side, still supporting arlan who in that moment decides to get off his shoulder.

"Will you be okay?" He asks, still worried Arlan won't be able to stand for himself anytime soon

"I'm fine really- thanks a lot though, you didn't have to do that." Arlan says, waving off the underlying offer to keep supporting him

"It's the least I could do" Y/N says smiling slightly at him as he punches his shoulder playfully.

"Arlan are you alright? Asta's been worried about you" Himeko chimes in, looking over to the two at the side of the group.

"I'm doing fine, I'll quickly patch it up and report back to lead researcher Asta, Bye" he says nodding her way before waving to Y/N who reciprocates with a small smile.

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Himeko, navigatior of the Astral Express" She says smiling his way

"In other words she decides where the Express goes" March interrupts

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Y/N I just sort of got stranded here." He says smiling slightly, praying she wouldn't ask too many questions, knowing that he was probably just as clueless as she was.

"Stranded? But no ones docked at the Station before the legion arrived?" She questions, the puzzled look on her face making things akward quickly

"Oh no- I didn't arrive with a ship or something, I accidentally walked on" He says before immediately stopping himself, wanting to actively sigh out loud at the explanation he gave before immediately continuing.
