"Otsukare sama desu!"

"Otsukare sama desu!"

The girl's feet promptly brings her out of the maid cafe, away from the estranged stares from the people around, and away from all the questioning that she received from her colleagues. To be honest, after a long shift at work, and after having to notice Osiris's presence in the cafe for the entire two hours before the end of work, Tsubame is simply exhausted.

She has been exhausted in dealing with everything in general. Kira and Ayumi's events- although she thought was over- was nowhere near over. The planning of a great event to announce the name of Zodiac is heatedly underway. The presence of Osiris, and the intentions he has behind what he does, also continuously annoy her. Trying her best to hide all of these ongoing annoyance from J takes even a bigger toll. And there is also the elemancer incidents that needs be underway. In comparison, it seems that being physically drained in Cafe Mahou seems to be the least concerning and tiring of all.

All she wishes to do right now, is to go home and crash until she has to get up to report to Osiris at around 11 pm tonight. She could understand why Osiris wishes for all of these informations to be found out- the head of the organization, the bank they are robbing, and everything of that sort. After all, the more they know about everything, the better. But that doesn't mean that she has no rights to be tired.

The girl slowly walks down the streets of the downtown, and looks at the shadow that the setting sun has her casted in front of her. She closes her eyes.

Suddenly, she wishes that her power is not floramancy, but teleportation. No, she is not blaming her upbringing. It is just that she is so tired right now, that even walking seems to use too much energy.

Little did she know that, this tired stage that she is in, has become an opportunity for another person.

Opposite from her shadow, in the bigger shadows of the city, lurks another person. This person has been tailing her ever since she exited the Maid cafe.

Of course, normally, Tsubame would have noticed this person already. However, Tsubame is not quite herself recently. She has not been for a while now.

Osiris watched as Tsubame left her shift still drinking his tea. He had decided to show up unannounced again today, a "surprise inspection" he had called it. They had been happening more frequently lately though, he had stopped bringing Yuri with him exactly for that reason, these were quickly becoming less and less professional. Yet he kept finding excuses to come. He was having issues justifying this even to himself.

Still, the Tea was good and it calmed his nerves on a stressful day. His eyes lingered on Tsubame as she left the restaurant and he picked up his napkin and brought it to his lips. He would see her at eleven, no problem. Why was he reassuring himself about this? Why did he feel he had to? Why was he talking to himself? He shook his head and looked up in time to see someone else leave.

The figure was wearing a high collared coat so you could not see his face as well as a hat. Osiris had seen him a few times at the cafe before, on occasion. He was a regular...but for some reason he was making Osiris' hair stand on end. He called his waitress over and got his check. He was going to follow this guy.

As he exited the building he was surprised and a little shaken to find his feelings confirmed. The man was tailing Tsubame. Osiris followed suit following them for some distance. However, eventually the man split off away from Tsubame's path and Osiris paused.

He slapped his forehead. What the hell was he doing? The residential district was this way, of course the man would need to go the same route. He frowned, angry with himself. What was she doing to him, he never acted like this never. Osiris turned to leave, he needed to get things done before eleven.

The stalked however, had just gone an alley away. He had noticed Osiris behind him and as soon as he vanished followed back in line behind Tsu. Then he moved to grab her, a small blade in his hand would point at her back. "Easy there Tsu-chan..." he let out in a low growl

After the turn of a corner, she would reach home. Then, she can simply collapse and sleep on her bed, not having to think of anything more than just some dreamless rest. This is so much what she wishes for, that she wishes she could just start running home. But then again, she is too tired to even lift her feet off the ground for more than an inch right now.

However, as soon as the dormitory is in view, she feels a strong grip around her waist, and almost immediately afterwards, a sharp object is felt by the lower waist of her back. The girl's eyes widen, as her body freezes over from danger.

"Easy there Tsu-chan…"

Tsubame could tell that this voice is the voice of a regular in the cafe. He is usually mysteriously dressed, with his face usually unidentified. Either that, or she usually doesn't work at an area that can see him face on. Was he watching her for the entire time before this? Was he observing her and has had her as a target for a long time? Did she not notice because he never caught her attention?

"… How can I be of service, sir?"

Feeling her blood rushing from the danger, the voice and thoughts of the girl remains calm. Nobody will probably hear it if she screams. And if she does, there is a high possibility that he would stab her to death before she can even call for help. And if he is simply wanting her money, she can probably easily get away from it. And if he is some maid-loving perverts… She should have the chance, even just a split second, to get herself out of this.

It didn't, of course, cross her mind that it may be House related- she has been so secretive with her personal history and identity information, that she doubt anyone would have been able to find out about her.

Except for Osiris Solomon, of course.

The man pressed the knife against her, he was breathing heavily and his warm breath was on her neck. He was slowly dragging her back into the alley way, out of sight. "You're going to do what I tell you to do ok Tsu-chan?" He the blade deeper into her back and then jabbed at her pockets "You're gonna empty your purse and pockets of anything of value first off"

Meanwhile, Osiris was walking, a prickling sensation at the back of his neck. He didn't know why this was still bugging him. It shouldn't. The situation was fine, nothing to worry about. No, what was really upsetting was that this was bothering him. This was happening more frequently. He would do things, ridiculous things with little explanation. He would justify it with ideas such as...Tsubame needed to be protected as a member of Zodiac. Or, it was normal to be suspicious of a man like that, and he might have threatened his help....

But what did it always come down to? He was worried, worried about Tsubame, and wanted her safe. Not just because she was an asset, but because...he liked her being around. Even now, he was freaking out, and he had no reason to be. Still, He turned facing where the man had been. Maybe he would talk to her...cancel the meeting for tonight..postpone it, she had to be tired and. Oh god he was doing it again...

Still...the prickling wouldn't stop...Osiris turned and ran in the direction that Tsubame had been going

A cold shiver runs down Tsubame's spine, as she feels the warm breath of the man hovers over the back of her neck. She was almost glad that the collar of the jacket she wears today is high enough to cover up her port, as she has always dressed so that nobody would see her port without stripping her clothings off ever since the port was installed.

This, however, reminds Tsubame of a certain other person.

He may do the same thing, and he, most often than not, does it to tease and to toy with her, but at least Tsubame knows for a fact that she is not in danger with him. And, while she may not be pleased about it, she does not find it as foreign and resisting as what this person is doing right now. It could simply be her being used to him, however. But right now, she is indeed in danger, even just by a little bit.

The girl complies with what the man has told her to do, and emptied her purse as well as her pocket. With her wallet in one hand and her watch in another hand, she holds them up in midair for the man behind her to see.

"Certainly, sir." The girl responds, acting as if she was trying to pretend that she was calm even though she was terrified. "H-how'd you like them?"

The robber will notice that she is awfully obedient, almost too much like her personality in the cafe- while energetic, a very scared-cat and obedient person.

Of course, the real Tsubame is much opposite from what the man thinks she is- As the girl pulled out her wallet and purse, she'd have already dropped the seeds in her bag around her. Given that the seeds are tiny, it is probably hard for the man to notice.

But first… she needs him to be off and away from her before she can counterattack. His blade is pushing further and further, that Tsubame fear if even the slightest movement on the blade will cut her open.

The girl gulps. She, feared?

She needs to make this quick.

"Yeah that's right just like that, you're a nice obedient girl Tsu-chan, thats why I like you so much" His hand began to move up her waist as his breath became heavier. His head was now resting on his shoulder and his hand lifted up from his waist reaching lower for her skirt. And then he screamed. Likely not the expected reaction for such a scenario...until you noticed the metal skewer in his hand.

Standing at the end of the alley was Osiris Solomon, the skewer extended from his hand, his index finger and was slowly retracting. His face was contorted in an expression Tsubame would not have seen before. He was angry, livid with rage and if someone was close enough they might notice his other hand gripping his leg to keep from shaking. Was that fear? "Get your filthy hands off her this second!" He started moving towards the man

The man terrified and shaken looked at his bleeding hand "You freak! He said shaking his hand, the blood dripping onto Tsubame. "Let her go or you'll end up a lot worse!" The man held tight onto Tsubame and then suddenly shoved her forward, his blade cutting through the side as he jerked away with a rough movement.

Osiris ran forward to catch her as the man ran off

Tsubame could feel the goosebumps appearing from the point of where the man breathes onto her, spreading down her spine like an infestation, and covers up even her upper arms as the man continues to breathe onto her. This is a very, very horrible feeling that she feels from him, a feeling that she'd never get from J doing the same exact thing- nor from Osiris, either.

She closes her eyes, and felt his hand swimming down onto the bottom of her skirt. She is trying to endure, endure until the point where she can use her power to restrain him, or to, even, kill him. As much as she tries now to refrain herself from killing nowadays, that may be the only outcome of things, if she loses control of her rational and emotional mind- which she possibly would, because she is challenged by a lower being than she is, and this is far too much humiliation that he is giving her right now.

But her anger was blasted away when she hears an agonizing scream from the back, along with her ability to hear clearly in her ears. Her eyes widens, and she turns around to see what was going on- not that she has a choice considering that the robber also turned.

There he is, Osiris Solomon.

He has an expression that she has never seen him have on. He was angry in his facial expression. But his body gestures on his left hand showed that he was uncomfortable. Almost frightened.

Is this the Osiris Solomon, the leader of Zodiac?

She could hear Osiris shouting at them, but she couldn't hear too clearly what he was saying. All she knew is that after he yelled, she felt a push on her back.

She automatically reacted, and she turned around towards the man.

"Auctus!" She yells.

Then everything happened.

A sharp pain cuts through her left side, opening a rather deep wound, as she falls forward towards Osiris's direction. The seeds around the man and Tsubame originally grew exponentially, and trapped the man within the wall of thorns and vines. Even if the man had tried to run, he'd be tripped by the sudden growth of plants, and found his feet being entangled by and entrapped by the wall of thorns as he fell.

The floramancer's knees gave in and collapsed instead of supporting her properly after the fall. She fell into Osiris's arms, and almost blacked out from the sudden pain.

What Osiris will also notice, however, is that the girl seem to be a little too hot in comparison to how she would be normally.

Osiris saw the wall of thorns, but could have cared less, it was the blood on his hands that sent him panicking. Barely even thinking about it he pointed two fingers at the man stabbing him in the knees so that he lay crippled on the ground. Osiris' heart was pumping wildly from adrenaline and a feeling he had gotten only once before when he was small and his mom had been very sick.

"Don't worry Tsubame you're gonna be ok..." he whispered

He grabbed his cell phone and called his mansion, Yuri specifically and then spoke quickly in a commanding voice "Yuri, Tsubame is hurt, tell the medics to prepare for a stab wound, get my valet over here now." He then picked up Tsubame properly and could feel how warm she was, she was bleeding profusely and had a fever. This was not good.

"Its gonna be ok..." he said again, as much to himself as Tsubame

He cursed and tore off his shirt using it as a makeshit bandage to keep the blood flow down as he waited. In minutes his car had arrived and he took himself and Tsubame inside. In a few more minutes they were in the Mansion's basement, the real HQ of Zodiac. The medics were ready and took Tsubame into the ER on a stretcher, faster reactions than any hospital team she was in good hands.

Still Osiris looked shaken as he called Yuri over and then called the cops, giving an anonymous tip about the man in the alley. He closed his cell and looked Directly at Yuri before collapsing against the wall, his head in his hands. He looked up from the floor at Yuri. "...tell me it will be ok, please...just..say it"

Tsubame takes a deep breathe, as she was assisted by Osiris to lay her down onto the ground. She felt normal- her breathing is normal, her stomach felt fine- upset, but fine- and she could still hear her heart beating, now throbbing so hard that she can hear it in her ears as well- but she is fine. The only thing out of place is the pain that she is feeling along her side, and the slightly heavy in the head.

But, for some reason, she felt tired. It is as if she had worked out for a long, long time, and all of the tiredness has, along with the cut, escaped from a confinement and exploded throughout her body.

She could hear muffles from Osiris, sounds of whispers, but she couldn't make out what Osiris was saying. She could see that he was genuinely worried, however.

"… I don't owe you anything this time." With a weak smile, the girl says in a whisper.

She doesn't owe him anything this time, she knows. She could have handled this just fine by herself.

But right now…

The girl slowly closes her eyes, and throw herself into a soft and quiet slumber. She may wake up eventually hurting all over and feeling like crap over several things, among them favors, Osiris, and that guy, but she needs a little bit of rest right now.



It was a rather unusual phone call that Yuri has received from her Boss. It was even more unusual to hear the tone that her boss has carried in the phone, when he so quickly made all of those commands- within a breathe, probably. Without asking more questions, however, Yuri made all of those arrangements in a matter of minutes.

If there is anything good about not being able to feel anything, is the fact that she doesn't have to spend spare time in dwelling in useless emotion in comparison to the others. She may still feel strange inside, but she doesn't have to spend time dealing with it when she doesn't want to, simply because it is the easiest for human being to ignore things that they do not comprehend if it is an option.

A thing that Yuri has to be grateful for if she had been able to do so, too, is the fact that the mansion basically has given her an unspoken 'authority' over the passage of Osiris's messages around, that she can actually move the people and gears in the mansion if Osiris orders her to make so happen. While she contributed to the fact that Osiris has told them before to give her such privilege, she didn't know that it has something to do with her presence around Osiris almost all the time, too. And the way that she tries to appear outside do tell people that she is a person who tries her best, which makes her more easily liked among people, even though she may not be able to comprehend the concept, or may not even notice that people do approve of her despite her disability to feel.

Still, when Yuri opened the door to the valet and saw the blood-stained Osiris and the Tsubame lying in his arms, she couldn't help but to feel a muscle tick in her brows. It is a rather new thing that she has felt, that her muscle will automatically do something without her commanding to do so. Even though it doesn't happen often, and it probably has never happened when she is around Zodiac, or running some errands for Osiris, it still happened.

Along the way in the car, all Yuri did was remain silent, as she watches Osiris frantically trying to stop Tsubame from bleeding. This is a side of the boss that the assistant has never seen before.

It is then that Yuri thinks she understood something- if she ever happens to harm Tsubame, Osiris will probably only grow sad from her actions, simply because this is Tsubame that they are talking about. To make things more severe, if she has ever manage to, not that she can, kill Tsubame, it is very possible that Osiris may kill her in return, and that will, among anything except for Altlene deserting her, be one of the most 'painful' thing for her. How this 'painful' will apply to her, she knew not, as this is only a phrase that she hears people use when they feel as if they got hurt emotionally, but she knew that whatever she experience at that point will be so severe, that she will never be able to recover from it. Just like how she can never recover from losing her feelings to restore her memories.

Therefore, when Osiris began to frantically command the people around him in the mansion for Tsubame's medical treatments, Yuri merely stood by to assist when the man does not make sense. Even when the floramancer was in the ER room, and the man was walking back and forth in the hallway, all Yuri did was leaned her back against the wall of the corridor in front of the door, with her arms folded around her chest, and stared at Osiris's actions with her usual cold, unattached glances.

She doesn't understand him. Not the current him. In a way, this is almost intriguting to analyze. Why did Osiris react this way? He doesn't care if people are hurt, or even die, right? Why does he, when Tsubame is in the emergency room, would freak out like this? This is really not like him.

Is this still for Zodiac, anymore? Or is this just him, as Osiris Solomon?

When Osiris looks up at her, Yuri almost saw another image of the great man. A poor, sloppy, tiny child who is helpless, weak, and fragile. Nothing like the leader of Zodiac. The fact that he is her boss and life saver does not change, but Yuri did, for the minute, questioned herself- is this really the person who gave her a purpose?

"… The wound is deep," After a long, long pause, the girl finally spoke up. "But nothing important was harmed. They just needed to stop her from bleeding."

It was then, that a servant around the mansion brought Osiris a change of clothes.

"Please change your clothes, sir," Yuri walked towards the servant, and gestured to the clothing with her right hand. "They should be done soon. I will wait here at the meantime and let you know if something happens."

It makes Yuri wonders, really.

What would happen to Osiris if Tsubame never makes it out of the operation room?

Osiris nodded, he knew this was the response he could expect from Yuri, he knew it. It wasn't exactly what he wanted at this moment. No he was feeling very unlike himself, he wanted a hug he wanted to be told everything was gonna be fine. For a second he suddenly remembered the fact that he was seventeen. Most countries that wasn't even an adult. He scoffed and stood up, his eyes narrowing.

He thanked the servant and took the suit and nodded at Yuri "Thank you Yuri, Ill be back as soon as I straighten up." He took the far elevator, the one that went straight to his room. He was the only one besides Yuri with a Key to it and right now he didn't need people seeing him. In fact, he didn't want anyone to see him.

As the elevator doors closed he began to strip and thinking to himself about what had just happened. He had just followed one of his employees, for no reason besides a hunch. The elevator doors opened and he tossed away his bloody shirt onto the ground and began to undo his pants. He had gone into a frenzy over something...so trivial so small, likely unnecessarily so. He threw off his pants and walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. He then proceeded to regress...to his age and was legitimately worried about the sake of Tsubame. He threw off his underwear and got into the shower.

As the water hit his body he wondered what was happening to him. He was erratic, unpredictable, this was not him. And yet everytime he was reacting to something involving Tsubame this would happen. It was unprofessional. Was it because of the games? No, that was ridiculous. Why couldn't he just let her go? why couldnt he have left her on her own. He knew she could handle herself...why did he rush in to protect her? Why did he want to?

The answer of her being a member of Zodiac only went so far. The majority of Zodiac was an assortment of intelligent thugs, criminals looking for the best cut and who knew where it was. Tsubame was different, she was special. He finished washing up and grabbed a towel. He saw his cell phone on top of the suit as he exited and thought. He was her employer...why was he acting like more? Though he did have one duty as an employer.

He picked up his cell phone and called Tsubame's boyfriend. he received the voice mail and sighed. "Hello, Jeremiah Murray, this is Tsubame's Employer Osiris Solomon. I'm calling to tell you that there was an accident today. Tsubame is fine and in the best of hands, but today she was assaulted by a man after leaving work. The man has been apprehended, and Tsubame will call you as soon as she awakes...if you have any questions my company number is XXX-XXX-XXXX. Have a good day" He hung up.

He knew the man must be busy. He began suiting up. He knew from Tsubame that he was an actor. He buttoned his shirt. A good one, after some further investigation. He pulled up his pants. He was in some big brand stuff. He pulled on his belt. He also knew about his involvement with the house He buttoned his vest and straightened his tie. Yet he hadnt been at the phone when Tsubame was in trouble. He pulled on his coat. For some reason that made Osiris Angry.

He went down the elevator looking much more like himself. He walked directly to Yuri "What's her status? Are we allowed in yet?" His tone was not completely recovered, but he at least sounded more solid, more business like

After her boss has left, Yuri merely looks at the operation door, waited, waited, and waited.

Until the medical staffs all walked out, one unmasks himself, with a light, tired grin on his face.

It is then that Yuri understood that Tsubame had no imminent life danger.

The doctor mumbled something such as fever, huge loss of blood, weakness, and, more importantly, no life danger. She closes her eyes. Osiris will definitely be glad to hear that.

Therefore, when Osiris arrives, Yuri simply nods.

"She still has a fever, and the amount of blood she lost has rendered her really weak, but she does not have any life danger. She is now in the intensive care unit room, but she has not waken up yet." As if reading off a sheet of paper, the girl reports.

She looks at Osiris again.

He is dressed nicely, with his shirt, his vest, and his big-brand clothing. He looks much more together, too.

He is back

"Allow me to guide you, sir." The girl says, and leads Osiris to the room that Tsubame was in.

"The doctor says she would probably wake up when the medication passes, which is any time soon." The girl adds, before looking at the nurses and doctor around, signaling them to say something if they wishes to add to her explanations.

Osiris nodded as Yuri listed everything. Ok, so it had been bad, he at least was not going that mental. But, she was safe....He felt his body get lighter, as if before his clothes had been made of lead and all of a sudden They had become cloth again. There she went, making him feel this weird sensation. It wasn't right. He paused and looked over in the direction she was in. ""Ever vigilant, I couldnt ask for a better guide. Thank you Yuri, I ask a lot from you, but you never fail me."

With that he turned and followed Yuri down the shiny hallways. All of the Basement had a certain clean chrome look to it and it caused it to be rather bright, even this far underground. He got to the door and peered in. There she was, laying quietly on the table, all dressed in white, hooked up to an IV. She looked rather serene, calmer than he had ever seen her when awake. For some reason this made a lump in his throat form and he swallowed.

Yuri told him she would wake up soon and he grabbed the chair closest to the table and sat looking at Tsubame's sleeping form. He then sighed and looked over to Yuri "Tell the servants I need a scotch, I've had quite the ordeal, also tell them Ms. Hoshino is to be provided with whatever she asks upon awakening. Also inform everyone if they need me they may find me here till everything has cleared. Thank you Yuri"

One thing was still bothering him, the comment Tsubame had made before passing out, saying she owed him nothing more. "Damn girl is right too...I owe her...doesn't make us even though" he said quietly to himself

"… Certainly sir," After everything has been said to her, all Yuri did was acknowledge, bow and walks out of the room after another few comments has been given to her- as usual. She has never once took Osiris's comment and showed any emotion association to it.

"I will be outside, if you need me for anything. The servants will serve you the drink momentarily." With the final words, the girl let the medics leave the room, closes the door behind, and leaves Osiris and Tsubame alone in the room.

After she has left, the girl merely stood next to the entrance of the door- the door handle- and leaned her back against the wall. She is waiting, and guarding. As little things as she can do right now, she can at least play security. While she does not know how Osiris feel, she can tell from how he looks and gestured that he wants some time alone. Or at least, this is a message she has received from him.

Or was she wrong?

Regardless.

All she needs to know is that Tsubame holds a special space in Osiris's book, and she needs to comply with that. After all, displeasing Osiris is the only thing she doesn't want happening.



As if she could hear Osiris speaking, the girl softly mutters in echo when Osiris drops his whispering voice.

"… N-no. Run away with me… I-I am afraid …" The girl begins to murmur, shaking her head a little from left to right, and mutters softly, scared, and grabs onto whatever she could find ahold onto- in this case, Osiris's hand- gripping it tightly as if it is her last straw.

Osiris can tell from the grab that, while Yuri and the medics has told him that she doesn't have any imminent danger, she is still feverish. For a person as smart as Osiris, he would probably be able to deduce that Tsubame may be having a nightmare resulting from the tiredness, the wound, and the fever.

What may catch Osiris by surprise, too, is the way that Tsubame frantically grabs onto his arm, and the bullets of sweat that she has on her forehead resulting from the nightmare. Whatever it is that Tsubame is dreaming must have been something of her most terrified memories- something that almost nobody, maybe not even Osiris, knows that she has.

Reliving a nightmare, a drop of tear appears at the corner of her eyes, and slides down her eyelid onto her ear.

Osiris sighed as Yuri left. What a day it had been, it shouldn't have been this rough. Why did he run after her? She could handle herself...the wall of thorns had shown that had he not shown, she likely would have made it out unarmed. He messed with his hair with his one hand. He hated thinking that this was his fault. He hated thinking anything was his fault really...but still. He particularly disliked the idea that he was directly responsible for harming Tsubame.

And that was when he heard and felt her. It was like a shock had gone up his body as she clutched his hand. It was so warm...soft, and light. He gently gripped it as she held him tightly and leaned in to hear what she was saying. A nightmare? Tsubame Hoshino, the toughest person in this world besides himself, was having a nightmare where she was afraid. He took his free hand and leaned in stroking her hair, remembering what his parents had done when he was sick.

"Tsubame it's ok, I'm here, you're safe. Nothing is going to happen to you, I'll keep you safe." He would? No, Zodiac would, the Building would...why was he promising...something...so

He was curious as to what could inspire the Great Tsubame to become so fearful, to cry. The idea of such a thing was terrifying. He knew that with a word he could bring in Yuri and she could tell him but...This was something he didn't know about...something that hurt her. He held her hand tightly. For some reason finding out with Yuri...seemed horribly wrong.

"As long as you're here, nothing is going to harm you..." he repeated

The nightmare of the girl continues.

"… Don't. Please don't. I-I don't want to. G-go away. Please don't… The girl continues to stir, murmur, and grips onto Osiris's hand even tighter than before. She doesn't seem to hear the words of comfort from Osiris, and instead, sink even deeper and deeper within her nightmare. It is as if her fever is actually causing her to slip back into a spiral of her worst memories.

"… I-I beg of you, O-Okaa-sama…. P-Please. No…." The girl continues to murmur, until finally, an agonizing scream rings across the tiny room.

The girl's body abruptly jerks up a little, before falling and slamming back onto the bed. Her head stirs even more furiously, as her eyes produces even more tears. She shivers, and stirs, and even adds kicks into her movement now.

Something is wrong. At least in her nightmare.



Yuri was about to turn the door knob open, when she hears that scream from who appears to be the person on the bed. She tilts her head, and opens the door. Did something just happened?

It is then that she sees that Tsubame collapsed back into the bed.

She frowns, and brings to the table next to the bed the Scottish Whisky that Osiris has asked for. She then looks at the sitting Osiris, with a quizzical look.

What is Tsubame doing? What is she thinking? Why is she acting this way, even though she is not awake and conscious?

She then looks into her palm, as she lifts her palm up to the level of Tsubame's shoulder.

This is tempting. To use her power.

For the first time in her life, Yuri wanted to use her power.
