Today was as exciting as any this week, why? It is because today Seiko gets to leave the hospital, and go back to her familiar room. She watched her siblings pack her things smiling softly, feeling almost a bit bitter. While returning home was great, the incidents that continued there scared her. She felt dread crawl up her arms as she stared at her hands, wanting to know what happened, but terrified to find out. Suddenly she was snapped out of her deep thoughts to a familiar voice. Looking up she was met with the gaze of Yu. His thin eyebrows furrowed , "Onii are you okay?" , Putting on her best smile Seiko nodded. Yu nodded smiling back before joining the others. Eventually she was lifted from the bed as well as if she was a piece of luggage. Helped to stand, and then given crutches. He armada of siblings escorted her from the room and into the shuttle.

She never did like these kinds of places, they are stuffy, filled with perverts, and always so jerky. Finally, the torture wagon came to a stop and her and her siblings squeezed out receiving odd looks from the business men entering the carts. Luckily Seiko was met by the sight of her friend and teacher. Mayu smiled and hugged her tightly, the tell tale smell of fruits wafting off her, Mrs Yui smiled as well though one more in tune to a worried adult as she saw of Seikos siblings (that were traveling alone to get their big sis). Sighing mrs Yui ruffled Seikos hair, "next time you decide its time to leave, just call me.", Seiko couldn't help but give her a big goofy smile, "If I decide to I will". 

It didn't take long for them to make it back home, once everything was unpacked and settles Mayu escorted Seiko to her room. Mayu smiled and closed the door to muffle the sound of Mrs Yui trying to calm everyone down. "Seiko- I have some great news!", Seiko raised a questioning eyebrow, "What?". Mayu kneeled down reaching into her purse and pulls out the worn red book, Seikos eyes widened as she recognized it. Noticing Seikos shocked expressions she bit down on her lip guiltily, "I thought you could use my help in your search- but!! Well... this book..." she trailed off glancing at the corner of the room as if unsure what to say.

Sitting patiently Seiko stared at her friend. "Can you see them?", Seiko narrowed her eyes in confusion, "Can I see wha-" her question was quickly cut off by a flustered Mayu, "Its Nothing!! Er- well we may... we may be able to get our friends back.... Because some of them.. well they may have come to our world.", Seikos skin turned white as paper, filled with joy over whelmed with horror. She.. she had hoped.. and hoped this could happen.. but after hearing that it can.. and seeing her time and time again... it just proves it wasn't her imagination, she could feel the goosebumps forming on her skin.

Sitting down Mayu opened the book, "we can bring them back!- do you want too..?" Mayu looked at Seiko her eyes bright with excitement not registering the horror shown her friends eyes.
