Elise drove the way back home.  Masahito wasn't yet in a state to drive - he still was worried about Exi.  They both agreed to pay her a visit tomorrow.

When they arrived, one warmed up some fried chicken while the other just went straight to the television.  After a quick session of zapping, Elise abandoned.  Masahito was in the dining room, eating quietly like a little child full of shame and sent to the corner.  After he was finished, he put the plate in the sink and went straight into his room where he turned on the TV.

Elise went into her room, locked the door, and landed on her bed, falling into a peaceful, dreamless sleep.
