Cold Yuichi wakes beneath white infirmary lights, his body heavy against a narrow medical cot. Frosted windows reveal the Quiche’s pale towers beyond.
Cold Yuichi
My legs are numb, but I can breathe.
Janet sits beside the cot, still wearing her torn uniform, while Marie sleeps in a chair with the fairies’ dim lights gathered around her wrists.
Janet
Easy. You have been unconscious for two days. The Unit 6 captain brought you here after Lucien escaped, and she stayed under guard.
Across the infirmary, the broad young adult captain stands behind a transparent restraint field. Her dark armor is scuffed, but her posture remains rigid and watchful.
Veyra
I did not authorize Lucien’s memory prison. He used my strength, then abandoned me when your interference broke the illusion.
Janet
Mare, Friken, and Kael are securing the Cells. Seraphine is searching the records for Lucien’s destination. We stayed because you saved me.

Director's notewhole tale
I get up and hug marie
“happy your ok”
Cold Yuichi swings his legs over the cot. Numbness lingers, but his strength holds as he crosses the infirmary toward Marie’s chair.
He gently wakes Marie and pulls her into a careful hug. The fairies’ dim lights brighten around her wrists as she steadies him.
Cold Yuichi
I’m happy you’re okay.
Marie
Yuichi, you are awake and standing. That is more than enough to make me happy.
Marie hugs him back without disturbing his healing shoulder. Janet watches from the cot, her guarded expression softening as the infirmary grows quiet.
Janet
You should be resting, but I understand. After everything in those cells, being together matters.
The Unit 6 captain remains behind the restraint field, silent and watchful. For this moment, the alliance is safe, and no alarm interrupts their reunion.
“I got to get back to fighting he's going to break the gate if we dont is everyone else fighting him(I ask)”
SUCCESS (Legendary Willpower, rolled +0)
Cold Yuichi
I need to get back to fighting. If we do not stop him, Lucien will break the gate. Is everyone else fighting him?
Cold Yuichi steadies himself beside Marie’s chair, then reaches for his weapons. His legs remain numb, but his stance holds as the infirmary doors unlock.
Marie
Not yet. Mare, Friken, and Kael are securing the Cells, while Seraphine searches for Lucien’s destination.
Janet
The others are preparing to move. Lucien has not reached the gate yet, but he is trying to force a path toward it.
Veyra
I can lead you to him. Lucien used my strength to breach the memory prison, and I know the route he took.
Marie rises beside Cold Yuichi, her fairies brightening around her wrists. Janet takes up her rapier, and the guarded captain steps forward as the restraint field fades.
Janet
Then we return together. This time, Lucien faces everyone he betrayed.
“No, im not strong enough I say sadly as I go to the window transform into my blanko form and dash through the air away from the place”
SUCCESS (Great Agility, rolled +3)
Cold Yuichi
No, I’m not strong enough.
Cold Yuichi rises despite the numbness in his legs and hugs Marie once more. Her fairies brighten around them as he releases her and turns toward the window.
White and black uniform layers form across his body as his Blanko power awakens. His Soul-Sword settles at his side, and controlled frost seals the lingering weakness in his legs.
Marie
Yuichi, wait. If you leave, at least follow the marked route.
Cold Yuichi bursts through the open window and dashes into the pale air above the Quiche. The infirmary shrinks behind him as his speed carries him beyond the guarded towers.
His Espresso catches a thin black residue trailing across the rooftops, the same signature Lucien left in the memory prison. It bends toward the Cells, revealing a direct route.
Veyra
He found the trail. Follow it, and you will reach Lucien before he reaches the gate.
