Drew loved coffee, and so did her brothers.

It was simply a day like no other-- the gamer she was, fingers clicking away at the keyboard and the other hand swerving around the mouse, eyes glued to the MMORPG she was absorbed in--

When Zen came right down, casually picked up Drew's mug of coffee, and went right back into his room.

Fuuta noticed me first, and made his way over from where he was.

"Rei-nii, are you alright?" he asked worriedly, helping me get into a comfortable seating, "Are you alright?" he repeated as if I didn't hear the first time.

"Yeah... just a little dizzy." I mumbled, turning my eyes to Lambo, sleeping at the side. When did I make it back? I couldn't recall at all. My mind was blurry and my thoughts were hard to gather. "What happened?" 

"That's our line," Fuuta sighed, "You came back here after that weird light, and right after Tsuna-nii left... and the moment you came in you just collapsed. We were worried sick, but Bianchi-nee said you would be alright and..."
