"Where could she possibly be?"

Hari mumbles, she sits in the living room followed by a sigh, it was another gloomy day in Lin household. The person that actually owns the house was still missing and their concern about Elias and Mukuro's disappearance are growing bigger every passing second. The house almost look somber since every member are soaked with dreary expression.

Knock! Knock!

A knock was heard coming from the door, why the heck they would they knock when their household contains a perfectly functioning doorbell?! The knocking continues, Hari walks toward the entrance to answer the door since she was the closest. 

"What?! We have a perfectly working doorbell! Why couldn't use that?!"

"So...rry?"

—!

The teen apologizes in a confused and questioning tone, Hari's eyes immediately widens, as her body freezes, right in front of her was the very answer the questions she's been yelling for.

It was Elias Lin.

Elias Lin is right in front of her.

The ash haired teen looks a mess, Her clothes was tattered, the bandage on her right arm was starting to come lose and part of her hair has been singed. Mukuro was behind her, yawning as if the two of them never went missing in the first place.

Hari's gasp caused some attention for some member in the household to be alerted, causing for Chrome to worry and check up on her. Unfortunately, the female illusionist also freezes until almost every member are in the front door only to freeze up.

"uh, ...I'm home?" Elias greets, her tone sounds a bit confuse.

"E..lias?" 

"Yeah?"

It took everyone a good minute for everyone to process what happened, the girl who was missing for few days was in front of them, the girl who's life was endangering was in front of them.

"Welcome home you idiot!"

The moment everyone realize that Elias was home everyone tackles the poor teen. Disgraceful tears, and snots was almost everywhere.

"Where have you been?! We've been looking for you almost everywhere!" Hari's couldn't stop her tearing up, causing for her to hiccup while squeezing the life out of Elias from her hug "y-you weren't in any condition to move and I thought someone kidnapped you and killed you a-and—!"

"H-hari! ...can't ...bre..athe!" Elias pats Hari, in attempt to let her know.

"I thought someone killed you!" Hari finally releases Elias from her death hug, her face was a mess like a child who just finished crying "where have you been?!"

"I'm sorry Hari, I'll tell you everything after I treat my wound, my arm is still somewhat bleeding" Elias points out her messy bandage as Hari quickly made way for Elias to enter.

The household members moved like a river stream, they were quite hectic but they got the task done, Elias was able to take a shower and finished fixing her bandages. Right now, Kokuyo gang and Lin members had gather around the living room. 

"Erm, how should I start?" Elias nervously asks, it was a bit overwhelming for Elias that she doesn't know where she would start.

"Where did you go during your disappearance?" Hari asks the oblivious

"Long story short, I was transported to the future, even I don't know how, but I was transferred to Italy, I got captured and from there I was forced to adapt..." Hari looks at Chrome, who gave a nod confirming that her story was true "for you guys, I disappeared for three to four days but I stayed in the future for more than a month which made my recovery faster due to their advance technology."

"Every Elias nee-sama's  word are true, but I can't help to wonder why didn't you arrive the same time as us?" Chrome asks, fiddling her skirt "...and why was Mukuro-sama was missing as well?"

"It's because I asked Irie if I could stay a bit longer, to which I had to do some ...things. But for Mukuro's disappearance, I'm not sure what happened as well... but I bumped into him on my way here and dragged him back."  Elias answers "Also, did we get any letters? I think it should be coming soon."

"Kufufu, it's saddening that I didn't get to be transfer to the future but," Mukuro answers Chome's question "I had few ...unwanted visitors and I didn't want to disturb Elias's sleep so I was forced to move somewhere far."

"Letter? Oh! You mean the White owl and the black crow that came by? They arrive in your room yesterday!" Hari claps, remembering the two birds that arrived in their room, she tried to get close at the bird but the animal aggressively attacked her.

"It must be from my family... but what about the other crow? It wasn't written in the diary about the black crow..." Elias mumbles inaudibly, thinking deeply in her own thoughts until she finally came to conclusion in her head.

Elias thanks Hari and asks Chrome to fill everyone in to what had happened to them in the future, the ash haired teen didn't plan on sharing her stories on outsiders like the Kokuyo gang but plans to tell Hari and Charles everything for a later time. Elias quickly went upstairs to go take a look at the two letters, the moment the bird saw her, the two birds dropped their letter and flew off where their masters are. Elias walks closer to see a fancy white and black envelope with a cursive handwriting, she grabs the two letters as she saw the letters written in the envelope.
