Muffled noises from the kitchen reached [ Name ]'s ears, the slamming of a fridge followed by ceramic hitting the counter telling her that Takemichi was probably preparing something in the kitchen. She bent down and slid her finger in the back of her shoe, pulling at it to make room and slipping her foot in as she got ready to go out.

Before she did, she took a few steps backwards and peered into the doorway where she saw Takemichi's back facing her. She listened to him whistle charismatically as he made a sandwich of some sort, happily placing a slice of meat onto a bread he had laid out in front of him.

"Goodnight Takemichi. I'll be heading out now." [ Name ] voiced, making him jump slightly and almost drop what was in his hands before turning to face her.

He tilted his head and noticed she was fully dressed in what he called her "Cosplay clothes" and not in the pajamas they had gone shopping for since she didn't arrive with any other clothes. It still had its sleeve torn and the stomach area was shredded with a small noticeable hole, but the bloodstains were cleaned out and she firmly denied throwing it away in exchange for another outfit.

Suddenly he winced, the events of what the future held for her coming back to him. He didn't know how or even when exactly— but later this year, she would die. That was all the information he was able to find while coming back from the future, and although he didn't know who or what she would be killed by, he promised himself he would protect her. The only confirmation of her death being guaranteed was her mangled corpse in an old newspaper that dated back to a few months in the future from the past he was in now. There were no specified causes of death, and the case was closed since she couldn't be identified, leaving investigators stumped.

Snapping out of his thoughts, he looked over at [ Name ], who was staring at him curiously ever since she saw his expression suddenly change.

"Huh? You're not going to your room?" He asked, briefly glancing at the clock in the kitchen and figuring it was way too late for any shops to be open and the outside was already dark to which the streetlamps and moon were the only source of illumination.

She shook her head, her eyes darting to the door as she sent it a heavy glare knowing what her intentions were.

"Sleep is just a desire, I do not need it often. I must make sure there are no demons roaming, I wouldn't want an innocent person to get injured," [ Name ] explained. The mention of the creature from the other day sent a shiver down Takemichi's spine.

The fact she would willingly seek them out for the selfless reason of helping others made him admire her silently, though he couldn't help but feel worried when remembering everything from a few days ago and what her fate ensured.

"But don't you need to rest to regain your energy? I thought you said it was low or something since you've gotten here?" He pointed out, remembering how baffled she looked when she landed her first attack and assumed it to be weaker than any she had previously made before while struggling to even keep the weapon summoned when fighting that demon.

Picking up on the hints of worry, she allowed her lips to twitch up into a reassuring smile, albeit it being very small. Even though he had a split personality that could be hard to deal with, this side of him was really sweet to her and she appreciated that with the circumstances she was under.

"I'll be fine."

Takemichi couldn't help but doubt that but nevertheless he nodded his head before swallowing thickly. As he continued to make his sandwich, he debated whether or not to tell her about the whole 'time traveling' thing when she returned and about what Naoto had told him.

[ Name ]'s diaphragm pulsed and her lips slightly parted as she took staggering deep breaths to try and regain as much oxygen into her body as possible. She was exhausted and expressed that openly when she wasn't in the company of anyone else. It took lots of mental and physical strain to slay the beast as well as will her weapon from Teyvat into existence in this world.
