Thunder awoke almost everyone in the house as the rain hitting the windows started to get louder. Elias stood up from where he sat, barely awake. He picked up his phone and looked at the time.

Alepou: There he is. Welcome back to the world of the living.

Elias: You could have woken me up you know.

Alepou: For what? Everyone here needed rest. 

Nichi: Plus, you seemed to be having a good dream.

Elias: ...

Elias: Why?

Volk: Dude, you had a huge smile on your face the whole time.

Thunder roared through the sky.

Elias: I actually don't even remember what my dream was about.

Nichi: Must have been fantastic then cause damn.

Yuzui walked into the room, a glass of water in hand.

Yuzui: You guys need anything? Food, drinks?

Volk: I wouldn't mind something to eat, honestly I'm famished.

Alepou: Yeah, same, haven't eaten in like 9 years.

Okami: Pfft, that's the first time I've heard you say something slightly funny.

Alepou lifted her shirt just a bit to show the Glock-17.

Okami: I would like to apologize, I meant nothing by it.

Alepou: Good.

She smiled with her eyes closed as she gave off an ominous aura.

Yuzui: You guys haven't eaten anything at all since you came back?!

Okami: Not a single thing.

Yuzui: I'll cook something for you all.

Alepou: I can help if you want.

Nahe peaked his head through the doorway.

Nahe: Did I hear cooking? Can I help?!

Yuzui: Sure.

Volk closed his eyes as he laid his head near the window. He drowned out all the surrounding noise as he focused heavily on his thoughts. Alepou, Yuzui and Nahe walked out of the room. Nichi went to show something to Elias on her phone while Okami laid back and looked at the roof. Volk kept concentrating, he was looking for something in his head.

"I haven't left if you're looking for me." a voice in his head argued.

"Oh, thank the gods!" he replied. There were a few seconds of silence.

"Lisa? Are you okay?" he called out in his head. The sound of thunder was the only thing he heard.

"Li-" he was about to say as he got interrupted.

"Why don't you go talk to her!?" the voice yelled out.

"What are you talking about?" replied Volk. He thought about it for a second until he realized what she meant.

"Lisa, I wasn't gonna actually do that." he beckoned in his mind.

"It sure as all of Helheim looked like you were gonna kiss her." she objected.
