Legosi awoke to a white ceiling. He faintly remembered the morning, Gouhin escorting them to school. That probably meant he was in the nurse's ward now.

The sterile white ceiling was clue number one. The clean smell of washed sheets and medicine was clue number two.

Legosi shifted only to be met with a stinging pain in his arm. That lion biting into his arm was probably the worst injury he endured that evening. Shifting again, he noticed something he didn't feel before.

Legosi looked down to his right and saw another hand gently clasped within his own, both hanging off the bed. He followed the arm until he saw the owner of said arm.

Juno was still fast asleep as she continued to hold Legosi's hand. He gave her's a slight squeeze, letting his head fall back onto the pillow.

Yesterday still felt surreal. He couldn't really understand how they even made it out, the mysterious panda being a literal savior multiple times. And then there was Louis...

After everything that they went through last night, he felt deep in his heart that now they were officially a pack. Never before has he felt bonds with Louis, Bill, and even Juno, as strong as he did now.

Juno began to stir, opening her eyes. The first thing she did was make eye contact with Legosi. Their hearts swelled as they starred into each other's eyes.

Through her, he experienced so much, learning more about himself and his friends. He would be forever grateful to have met her. Because of her, he felt like he had matured. He felt like now, he had a purpose in life.

They both sat up, Legosi scanning the room. On the opposite side of the room was Louis. He sat off the side of his own bed with Haru in his lap. He had a bandage around his left eye, and his antlers were nothing but small stumps on his head. The two were happily talking, Louis being himself for once. His old facade had finally been cast aside, left to collect dust.

In the bed to Louis's left sat Bill, the tiger having a noticeable bandage under his shirt. He simply had his eyes closed with his head resting against the wall behind him.

Yesterday had left everyone injured in some way, Legosi himself having a bandage around his stomach and back as well as the stitches in his arm.

"Good morning," the deer greeted his friends, smiling happily. Truly a rare sight to see.

"Good morning... do you know what time it is?" Legosi asked.

"It's about 9:00 am. The nurse said once we're all awake, that she'll bring us some breakfast," Louis replied, turning his attention back to his girlfriend, petting her head. Haru herself was back in her school uniform, leaning into Louis.

"Are you ok, Haru?" Legosi looked at the hare sitting in Louis's lap.

"I'm alive... thanks to all of you." Her face was an expression of pure gratitude.

"What about the house mother? Aren't we in trouble for spending the night outside of Campus?" Bill inquired with concern.

Louis smiled, already being a step ahead.

"I've had a bit of a talk with her already. We've cut a deal somewhat... For keeping the shishigumi a secret, we don't have to fear any punishment," He explained. His happy attitude was almost unsettling.

"What!?... You were on board with that? I feel like the Shishigumi is the one thing we shouldn't be keeping a secret!" Legosi was stunned.

"The school board doesn't want to be involved in any way with anything black market-related. And I imagine the Shishigumi is rather unorganized right now, so I'm not too worried about them," Louis replied.
