Teria left, showing that she felt even worse than when she went there. It was quite obvious even though her expression didn't change and her words didn't seem anymore different.

The same thing as last time happened, what with me falling backwards and the flames enveloping me. Akihiko-kun was jerked beneath the surface of the water, drowning.

The whole process of shrinking and changing out of my sailor uniform occurred, and then I was outside again.

My left arm was a bloody mess again, my marks of the contract fading away as a pop up window appeared that I didn't have the strength to swipe away.

Fantastic. Do I care at the moment?

Most certainly not.

My sternum and forearm were burning again, and I groaned when someone picked me up and marched off.

My bloody arm was inspected on the way, my shirt pulled down and looked at. When I guess nothing was found to be wrong, the person simply sighed and then started stripping me to give me a bath. I was put in the bath again, same as last time. At least they didn't use a small wash tub anymore.

I was scrubbed a bunch, until they were sure I was completely clean.

My eyes didn't open the whole time, face kept above the water by a second person.

No one spoke.

I think I fell asleep during that time, then woke up later. I don't know how much time passed.

The only reason I woke up was because I had been dreaming about pastries and then I screamed out something warbled that didn't really make sense.

It was somewhere along the lines of apologizing for not bringing the sweets and tea to Chord, Hera, Adri, and Boss-I mean Louise.

When I finally opened my eyes, it was after falling back on my bed because I was dizzy from blood loss. My hands went up to my eyes, which I massaged strongly until the circles went away.

I looked around my red themed room and found that it was empty of people, just me. There was nothing to suggest I was being taken care of because I was really sick, so I just got up and imagined some clothes over my body. It was the typical set that I wore every single day, I had many copies of it. My fallback of brown pants and a white shirt.

It was the best combination ever, since no one here judged me for it and the twins wore it as well. Chord also got a pair, but since it wasn't cute enough she sewed something on to the front where the breast pocket would go, and then made a skirt over the pants. It looked funny because she was still learning, but it worked.
