I'm on my knees, rifling through all of the new clothes I'd bought while Yuu was comatose. Yeah, I know, maybe that makes me a bad person, but what was me sitting around weeping going to do for Yuu? It sure as hell wasn't going to help him recuperate any faster. So I figured I might as well get something a little more comfortable to wear.

I pick a couple casual outfits and stuff them in a suitcase. After Yuu recovers from... whatever happened to him... I'm leaving. Me staying here puts everyone at risk. Without Krul giving me blood, it's literally a matter of time before I either die or succumb. I need to find Ferid and get to the bottom of this, but I can't leave without telling Yuu.

I know he'll try to convince me not to leave. Deep down, I'm kind of hoping for it. But I can't stay here, even though the Demon Company is allowing me to, for now anyway.

A timid knock on the door startles me from my packing reveries.

"Who is it?" I ask warily.

"It's me, Yuu," a tired voice responds.

I practically jump at the door. "Oh. Come in," I say, unlatching the jamb.

Yuu steps in and eyes my bags dubiously. "You're packing? Why?"

I stare him in the eye. "I'm a danger to you. I'm a danger to everyone here."

He goggles. "You're not leaving me. Not after..." he struggles with his thoughts. "Not after all this."

I nod solemnly. "I am."

Yuu takes a deep breath. "Then I'm coming with you."
