Somehow, a couple days later, we ended up in the Platinum Jail. We were standing in the middle of a street, surrounded by bright lights and pulsing beats. My heart pumped with the main, underlying beat, and I smiled brightly, feeling more at home than I ever had before. A trembling hand gripped mine, and I looked at Aoba. He was pale, and gripping his head.

"C-Cy.... I-I'm getting d-dizzy...."

I nodded, remembering that I was accustom to thumping beats and pulsing lights, seeing as I was a part-time DJ. I felt a charm on my hip heat up, then dull. A pair of noise cancelling headphones appeared in my hand. I put them in Aoba's ears and he sighed in relief. I tugged his hand, and motioned for him to hold onto me. As another charm heated up, my feet began to hover a couple inches off the ground. I grinned at his shocked expression, then hoisted him onto my back. He yelped, then I took off. My feet slid effortlessly over the ground as if I were wearing roller blades, but much faster. I weaved in and out of the hundreds of people with ease, taking Aoba away from the sound and to our house. I slid to a stop right outside our door and grinned.

"Welcome home."

I looked back at Aoba, and my heart skipped a beat. He had fallen asleep. A blush lit up my face, and I stay in the air as I enter our house. I smoothly carried Aoba upstairs, and laid him down on a bed. A charm slowly regains its shiny silver nature as my feet touch the ground. I swayed, then sat down next to Aoba's sleeping body. Groaning, I touched my head, then quickly shed my jacket and peeled my black tank top off. Sweat glistened on my skin as I wiped away the stray droplets on my forehead. My heart was pounding, and my eyelids fluttering. With weak fingers, I undid all the sheaths, belts, and straps that were bound all over my chest and torso. Breathing rather fast, I fell backwards onto the cool sheets, letting my eyes close. I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.
