Luna: "We're back."

Luna was standing in the doorway, helping Cerulean by pushing his wheelchair into the mansion.

Cerulean: "I can move myself, but thanks."

Sol: "I guess you could say he's... handicap-able."

Hikari: "Leave."

Cerulean: "I found something in the library after everyone abandoned me."

Hikari: "I have an excuse. I can't see. Also, you're quiet."

Sol: "I was drinking!"

Everyone was silent.

Nine: "Orange juice. He was drinking orange juice."

Sol: "The orange juice here tastes really orange!"

Most of us just groaned in response.

Luna: "Has... anyone found Apollo?"

Mahale: "Scarlet's looking now. SOME of us were supposed to be looking for him but they decided they had more important things to do."

Catty: "Happiness is Catty's first priority!"

Hikari: "And now she's talking in third person."

Zero: "LET. ME. GO."

Hikari yanked on Zero's ear. He was furiously attempting to remove his ear from her grasp, but to no avail.

Hikari: "No."

Hikari's nonchalant response made Zero even angrier. He started shouting incoherently. It was honestly a very amusing sight.

Scarlet: "Is that the delightful sound of the ruffian's screaming I hear?"

Scarlet slowly made her way down the stairs to the living room where we were gathered.

Hikari: "Mm."

Scarlet: "Also, an interesting revelation, I managed to locate Apollo. Perhaps you should all walk with me and speak to him."

We all exchanged confused looks, but we decided it was best to immediately check on him. We immediately forgot about how Cerulean couldn't walk and abandoned him at the stairs, yet again. He might've tried to call out but that wasn't important, not as important as this anyway.

The rest of us followed Scarlet up the stairs and were in slight fear of how cryptic she was being. We followed her to Apollo's doorway, and as she opened the door, there he was. Laying on the bed, eyes wide with horror.

Luna: "No..."

Luna was almost about to start crying again.

Luna: "I'm going to... stay with Cerulean... from now on."

Luna looked down and slowly left the hall to return downstairs.

Scarlet: "I am perplexed as to what could have befell him. He has no marks, nor injuries, and isn't breathing, yet his heart still beats fervently, as if he was in fear of his mortality."

Mahale: "So... he's alive?"

Scarlet: "Indeed. He is very much alive."

Mahale: "How is he surviving without breathing though?"

Scarlet: "I am unaware of the answer to the question of which you ask."

Mahale: "A simple 'I don't know' would've been fine..."

Scarlet: "Quite. Cyber, be a dear and carry him outside to put next to Artemis. I have a theory."

Cyber gave no response, and picked up Apollo's body and threw him over his shoulders as if he was a simple bag of luggage, and approached the stairs, still as emotionless as ever.
