I stood up from the floor after we had finished talking. "Alright, I'm all rested and ready to go for another round!" I yelled.

Hyosetsu sighed as he also stood up. "You really are a beast..."

"Come on, Hyo. You got to get back in shape," Setsuko said, holding her hand to him.

"Great, I finally found you!" Eiichi yelled, running into the room without warning. In his arms was Hideo.

"What happened to him?" Setsuko asked, walking over to them.

"You didn't do something to him, did you?" I asked, glaring at him.

"No. We were going to begin training after he was done warming up, but once he finished, he suddenly fainted. The weird part was that he didn't even seem tired."

Hyosetsu turned his eyes toward Hideo's necklace. It was glowing. "Could it be..."

"Could it be what?" I asked.

"Donato's angel might've made contact with him," he responded.

I gasped. "How? Through his dream?"

"It's a possibility,"

Hanketsu had talked to me in my dream too... when we first met, and then when I supposedly died.

"Is that a common thing?" I asked. "For angels to talk to one through their dreams."

"Yes," Hanketsu responded. "But other times, one will just hear their voice. Meeting them in a dream is more common if they have a trial to give."

A trial, huh? Why did Hanketsu decide to speak to me like that the first time? The second I understood as I was in the boundary between the dead and the living.

My right hand wrapped around the rosary beneath my black t-shirt. After I first talked to him, I could feel an energy within it, yet, after I my near-death, it had begun to fade. Now, it was almost impossible to detect said energy. Was this connected to my revival?

"What's wrong with you, peasant?" Eiichi asked.

I looked up with a scowl. "What do you care?"

"Don't start fighting. You might awaken Hideo while he's talking to his angel," Setsuko said.

I bit my lip.

"Eii...chi?" Hideo asked, opening his eyes.

I stepped back. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up..." I said.

He turned to look at me. "Tetsu... ya? Where are we?"

"We're still in the tower in Munil. I came to find the others after you passed out without warning," Eiichi said, lowering him to the floor.

He blinked. "Oh, right..." He smiled and jumped to his feet. "I can now use my guardian angel!"

Good, I didn't interrupt the process.
