[ Susato doesn't even question him. She can feel her shaky breaths as she sinks down into the couch, tugging her blanket tighter around her as Ziggy and Ruby join her. Ryusei takes their place at Kazuma's shoulder, and she can only meet her eyes with a blank stare as Kazuma walks off.
. . . While he's gone, Susato waits, trying to push down that empty, helpless feeling creeping up within her. Her hands shake as she strokes both Ruby and Ziggy's heads through the blanket, thinking back on everything that happened. She doesn't quite fall asleep, but comes close, lulled by the sound of the rushing water in the distance. Kazuma reappears just in time, and it's like her eyes flicker to life again when she sees him. ]
Oh. [ He's back. Not that she expected it be too terribly long... ]
