«Big bro... Big bro! You finally woke up! We thought you would never open your eyes again — I'm so happy to see you're still alive!» Yuzu exclaims, her bright, hiccuping voice rousing Hakuto from the deep stupor that struck him the moment he reopened his eyes.
He lies on the soft double bed in the room he shares with Chantal in their loft in Rome. His limbs are still slightly numb and sore, still bothered by sporadic stabs of pain here and there.
The night they were treated by Melania, they contacted Kagura, who did not hesitate to come to their aid. After bringing them home, Hakuto and Chantal lost consciousness again, while Shin was rushed to the HESPARC Italy medical center and received special treatment reserved for official HESPARC members.
Hakuto looks around with a confused, heavy gaze. Next to him, Chantal has not yet regained consciousness, but from the regular rise and fall of her chest, he understands she is still breathing — and that calms him immediately.
