Alice is sitting on a small chair beside the bed. She cushions her head with her folded arms as she sleeps peacefully. Shanghai sits beside her, unmoving. The magician looks especially vulnerable right now. Grimnír quickly looks away, very much aware that his face must be bright red. He can't just wake her up, and staying here and staring at her sleeping face makes him feel like some stalker or pervert.

After a few moments of contemplation, he carefully gets off the bed from the other side. He checks his things, then slings the sack behind him. He probably won't need anything, but he is starting to develop a habit of carrying his stuff with him.

He takes a moment to look at Alice. Very carefully, he pulls his blanket over her shoulders. She might catch a cold, after all. With one last glance at the sleeping dollmaker, he gently closes the door and walks into the hallways of Eientei.

Before long, he finds himself lost within the labyrinth that is Eientei. Keeping his head, Grimnír carefully maps out the immediate area in his head. If he approaches this logically and consistently, he should be able to find his way to the dining room or main clinic. The thought of opening a door and running into someone changing is enough to discourage him from entering rooms randomly. He would ask for directions if he could, but he hasn't met anyone in the halls. Is it possible that the mansion staff is busy with other duties?

It takes him the better part of a half hour, but he finally finds his way to the dining room without incident. He sighs in relief as he sees a familiar face smile at him. Grimnír takes an empty seat and starts to eat dinner. Hunger is good motivation, he notes.

...

During the meal, Dr. Yagokoro explained that he had no major injuries. It seems like Alice used her dolls to catch him before he hit the ground. However, his body was severely strained by the training. She recommended that he avoid acting recklessly in the future, as he may not be as lucky the next time it happens.

She also mentioned that she developed a drug that would slow down the effects of Marisa's injury. After careful testing, they managed to stabilize her condition (he did notice that Reisen shivered slightly at the word "testing"). They have bought her at least a few more days, which is very good news.

Dr. Yagokoro did ask a single, strange question, though.

"Did you have any unusual dreams?" she asked.

Grimnír gave her a nod, but stayed silent.

"Interesting," she said. "I suppose that you'll be able to explain it better in the morning, so I won't push any further."

...

Reisen escorted him to one of the mansion guest rooms. She said that it is too dangerous to travel at night, especially during these troubled times. There is another room prepared for Alice, and Marisa's condition seems to be stable, so they need not worry. The bunny-eared girl told him that he should focus on resting.

"Doctor's orders," she says with a kind smile.

"Hmm?"

"Please don't do anything reckless," explains Reisen. "While Dr. Yagokoro's patients are generally hardheaded, I'm sure that she would appreciate it if you would be an exception."

"Is that so?"

"I would appreciate it, too, if you would take care of yourself," adds Reisen in a whisper.

After she leaves, Grimnír finds himself alone in his assigned room. After a moment, he realizes that he doesn't know where Alice's room is. Also, neither of them mentioned anything about Wriggle. He wonders idly if some information was purposely being kept from him.

"..."

But in any case, rest seems to be in order, for now.
