Over the next few days, Hazel's asked to stay over, by Mr. Sato. Even if she would've liked to not bother him, or Ken. She was asked to, and she did not refuse more than twice. A few hours after rescuing the child, Hazel notices Ken sitting alone, shaking his leg, and she realises, that day at the studio—It was a nervous tick. She wants to step in, but Mr. Sato goes in, and she doesn't have the heart to ruin moments like these. So, she doesn't.

But when she hears the news, she can't tell if her heart sinks or if it breaks. She thinks she'll leave the father and son alone, but when Hayao Sato calls out her name, she's rooted to the spot. And not until he's beckoning her closer is she able to move a muscle. But then she's looking down at Ken, sitting, and frowning. And he looks so worried. Mr. Sato himself looks exhausted.

He's asking Ken if he thinks this baby kaiju is the priority. And Hazel isn't even asked, but when she looks at that infant, she thinks it's obvious that; yes, she is. She turns back to look at Ken, and while he's looking at her, he nods.

Mr. Sato's smiling, and when he asks Ken if he has a plan, Mina floats back towards their direction. Hazel looks at the kaiju, and she feels this sort of peace knowing that she's fine. She's just asleep.

But that peace doesn't last long when Mr. Sato is telling Ken what exactly could go wrong with his plans, and Hazel herself has to look at him. Her look and Ken's words make him stop. She sighs, nearing the containment and unit and placing her hand over it.
