As she returned to the house's porch, Juny picked up the handmade bag and walked in, closing the door behind her.

The view of the room's interior once again filled her eyes. She swiftly maneuvered through the dark environment.

Putting the bag beside a desk she rummaged through multiple drawers before pulling out three candles.

'We normally used gas lamps, but they're all broken.'

Juny couldn't help but sigh in contempt before pulling out a match box she found in mr. No-Forearms' coat.

She lit the candles and placed them on different furnishings inside the large room, lighting up pretty much the whole area.

After heaving a sigh of relief at her newfound vision she picked up a chair and sat down before the desk.

The moment she sat down and placed her hands on the desk, her eyelids naturally began to drop.

"Ugh."

Juny groaned in annoyance, lightly slapping her cheeks to wake up.

She still had one question to resolve before she could allow herself to rest.

Going through Kailas memories, right as she lost her mind and turned into a monster, strange information flooded her mind.

Until now, Juny didn't have the time to go through this seemingly random, but also important knowledge.

She started tapping the wooden desk with her finger in a staid rhythm.

It was a habit of hers to help with thinking, while also serving as a distraction from her fatigue.

The tapping stopped as Juny reached out to grab a pen and a piece of paper, penning down her thoughts.

'Martial Master'

"...What the hell? A what master? Is this some sort of Martial arts world now? Am I about to start meditating to ascend to a higher state of consciousness, or what?"

Snorting, she continued moving her hand.

'Stronger and tougher body with quicker movement. Understanding of hand to hand combat as well as any weapon I make contact with.'

Juny's hand stopped as she scratched her head with the back of the pen.

"A shovel counts as a weapon? Really? ...I guess I should have known. Lloyd was right all along!"

After chuckling at a joke noone around her would understand, she went back to thinking.

"But nothing like that happened with a gun. Although, I guess a martial artist wouldn't be carrying around something like that."

She paused before scribbling down.

'Historical weapons'

"..."

'Historical weapons and tools?'

Juny's lips twitched slightly before continuing.

'Better reflexes during combat.'

"That's ...useful? Why only combat though? It would be quite useful during day to day life too!"

After taking a deep breath she moved her hand down to create a space.

'Space Bender'

"..."

"... Space, Bender?"

"..."

"Avatar?"

"..."

"Is someone f*cking with me?"

Juny suddenly couldn't help but question if she's not just having a weird dream after falling into a coma.
