"Mmm..."

Purifier stirred lightly in her sleep, resting quite soundly before hand.

She slowly opened her eyes, but immediately shut them from the light.

"Mmmh..."

She opened her eyes, squinting to adjust to the light. Soon she was able to see clearly around her without hurting her eyes.

'Is this...the Infirmary?'

She heard quiet beeps to her right, which was a machine with an IV attached to her.

'Definitely the Infirmary'

She looked around and saw no one else in the room.

'Is there a button to call someone in here?'

She felt around with her hands, which were incredibly hard to move at the moment, eventually grasping something rigid and bumpy.

*Beep!*

'Alright, will that call somebody?'

...

*click*

'Yes it will'

?: Hello? Is anybody awake nya?

Purifier grunted to get her attention, which the cat girl heard. She heard her feet rushing over to the bed before the mop of green hair appeared next to her.

Akashi: You're awake! Thank Kami you woke up!

"Hmm?"

Akashi: Oh right...you've been out for 4 days, and we didn't know exactly when you would wake nya

Purifier couldn't believe that she was knocked out for 4 days...

"Mmh?!"

Akashi: Hold on, let me get you water

The girl went to a water machine and got a cup. She came back to the bed and tilted Purifier's head so she could drink.

...

Akashi: There

"How...how is Hornet?"

Akashi:*droops ears* She's...not doing well nya

"What do you mean?"

Akashi: She's been locked up in her room for these past few days, only getting food from the girls who bring it to her room nya

Purifier looked down and gripped her bedsheets.

Akashi: I know what you want to do, and I'll let you

"H-huh?! But, I'm injured right?"

Akashi: You finished healing on day two, after that, Observer Alpha told us that you just needed to recover energy after your battle with Orochi nya

She disconnected the IV, and stepped back for Purifier to stand up. She was wobbly for a moment, but stood fine afterwards.

"Thank you Akashi, I'll pay you late-"

Akashi: No...think of your payment as saving our lives back then okay nya?

Purifier looked at her, smiling.

"I will, thank you"

She left the Infirmary, looking around and noticing it was dawn.

"Alright, time to visit my 'Aunt'"
