[Things sure are a lot mistier around here than she remembers... There are also a lot more bats and rats around, these certainly weren't here before. Then again, given the time of year, Fuuko is just happy that the moon isn't crashing into anything.

Having been returned from her kidnapping Fuuko first heads to the clinic to check on things there. At first she's surprised when she looks around and can't find herself, her body. The surprise gives way to happiness soon enough though, leading to Fuuko running as fast as her legs can carry her back home.

She's practically runs into the front door in her excitement and quickly heads to Nagisa's room. This is it, she can say hello to Nagisa not as the girl she met in Luceti, but as the best friend she had helping her through all the rough times back home. The only problem is Nagisa isn't here, or anywhere. Her room is completely bare save for a few gifts left behind on the bed, including letters addressed to her and Kotomi.

"It's been a pleasure getting to know you here in Luceti, Fuu-chan. I'm really, really happy that we ended up rooming together, because you ended up becoming one of my best friends here, as well as anywhere else! I'm sad that I won't be able to spend more time with you, but I'm sure we'll be able to see each other again in Hikarizaka. We do go to the same school, after all! Even if I may not remember you there, though, I'm positive that we'll become friends again."

... No, that won't happen. Back home was different. It was here in the village that Fuuko had the chance to do everything with Nagisa. That just isn't possible back home, no matter how much she might want it to be.

Fuuko ends up holding the letter tightly in her hands while she sits on Nagisa's bed, amongst all the different dangos and presents she left behind. She's not crying, it's hard not to, but she refuses to cry. Right now she only wants to be alone.]

[Later, when Fuuko feels as though she's up to it, she finds her journal and opens it up to speak.]

Nagisa Furukawa has gone back to Hikarizaka. [...] She left lots of wonderful things for her friends, so please come and collect them. Fuuko thinks that Nagisa-san would be very happy if all of the dangos she left went to good homes.

[And that's it. She leaves the journal open in case anyone wants to ask about Nagisa. Anyone that might decide to wait a moment before replying may be able to hear Fuuko whispering Nagisa's name to herself and sighing.]

[It may actually be a bit longer than a few minutes before Emil knocks on the door, but that would be because he wanted to gather up a few things to bring with him for his visit.

Regardless, once he gets there, he'll tap on the door so that she can let him in.]

[Fuuko runs to the door, unlocks it and already starts talking to Emil before she's even properly opened.]

You took longer than Fuuko was expecting, but Fuuko is glad that you're all the same.

[He's carrying a bag full of chocolate chip cookies and a tin of hot chocolate mix-- that's why he was late. FORGIVE HIM, FUUKO?]

I'm sorry... I just thought I'd bring some cookies in case you wanted some cookies and hot chocolate. That always makes me feel better when I'm feeling sad.

[... FINE, SHE FORGIVES YOU.]

Fuuko hasn't had hot chocolate in a very long time. [...] Thank you very much.

[She takes a step back so Emil can come in.]

You haven't?

[He's a little surprised by that, since hot chocolate is like one of his main comfort foods. But maybe they don't drink it that often in her world or something.]

Then... I'm glad I brought some. I can leave the extra with you if you want, too.

That's very kind of you, Fuuko will be sure to drink all of it as soon as Fuuko can without getting a stomach ache.

[Time to head on over to the kitchen to start on some of that hot chocolate!]

Of course Fuuko will make sure there is some left so Kotomi-chan can make her own hot chocolate too.

[Emil follows her inside, shutting the door behind him as he does so.]

Kotomi-chan? Is she one of your housemates? Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever met her before. I only know you and Nagisa.

Yes, she is from Hikarizaka too, like Fuuko and Nagisa-san. Kotomi-chan is very smart and kind, so Fuuko is happy to live with her like this.

[Fuuko grabs two mugs from one of the cupboard and sets about boiling some milk so the mix can be added to it later.]

Maybe you can introduce me to her later. She sounds like she's really nice.

[He sets the bag of cookies down on the table and then starts looking around for some plates to put them on.]

I have some oatmeal raisin cookies too if you want to try those. I thought they might go well with the hot chocolate.

She is, Fuuko will be sure to tell her all about you Emil-san. Fuuko would be very happy if you two became friends.

[After Fuuko pours some milk in a pan and sets it on the stove to heat up she takes a clean plate from beside the sink and sets it on the table, next to the cookies.]

Fuuko would really like to try a few, if Emil-san thinks that they will go with the hot chocolate then they must be good.

I brought this whole bag for you, so you can have as many as you want.

[He sets the cookies out on the plate, glancing around the kitchen as he does so.]

Does anyone else live with you besides Kotomi?
