Saya sighed as she gazed out at the night sky—the first one she had seen in over a decade. Julia had woken her early and as a result Saya still remembered her past life before she had gone back to sleep.
"I'm awake, Hagi. Come to me," she whispered off the balcony of Kai's house. "Please," she begged. She missed her chevalier terribly and wanted him to return to her more than anything.
Across the country…
Come to me. Hagi sat bolt right up in the chair he had been resting in. Saya? Could she really be awake? It was much too early for her to wake up, but he had heard her call to him. Please. Saya was definitely calling to him and as her chevalier it was his duty to go to her. He gathered his cello case from the corner where it rested and quickly vanished into the night to find his beloved queen.
Back at Kai's…
Saya stared out the window forlornly. Kai watched her worriedly. Saya had returned to them three days before and had nothing but stare out the window and wait. She had refused to eat anything and her face had begun to hollow.
Saya wondered how Hagi managed it. He would wait decades at a time for her to awaken and she was a nervous wreck after a matter of days. She had been having continuous nightmares since the night she had returned and she needed Hagi there to comfort her.
"Please come to me," she begged the air.
"I'm here."
