Oz lay on his bed, unable to sleep from worry. He hated not knowing if Gil was alive or not. Sighing, really loudly, Oz landed on his bed with a fwump~. Throwing his head on his plush, feather-down pillow, Oz inhaled deeply. Things just weren't right in his life. Thinking of the past only made him depressed but thoughts of when he and Gilbert were younger flashed through his head….

A maid came in to let Oz know that dinner was ready. Of course, Oz didn't care much. He just wanted Gilbert back. She stood in the door a little while longer. Rolling on his side, he faced away from the door so as not to see her face.

"Mistress Sharon, had dinner prepared for this special occasion," she stated.

"Eh…" Oz glanced at her and really couldn't find anything to say to that. So, instead of obeying, he rolled back over on his side, away from the maid, and tried falling asleep.

The maid got the message and walked out, leaving Oz surrounded, yet again, in complete darkness to think about things some more.

Thinking only made Oz even more depressed but he couldn't stop thinking of Gilbert. The memories they shared growing up as kids, coming back and finding out that 10 years have passed and he was now younger than Gil. Even still, Oz cherished Gilbert so much no matter what the age gap had become.

After some time on his bed, contemplating his life, the maid entered his room again.

"Master Oz? You really should come down to eat. Dinner is ready," they said.

"I'm not really hun- ," Oz stopped mid-sentence. Quickly, turning over on the bed he realized who entered the room. It definitely was no maid, too.

In the doorway stood Gilbert Nightray dressed in the same black clothes he always wore.

At first Oz couldn't believe his eyes. His brain went foggy and that hindered his speech, so, Oz only stared speechless at Gilbert trying to convince himself that he was sleeping. Of course, that was not the case at all. He thought maybe it was his mind trying to bring Gilbert back, but, of course, he just couldn't deny his eyes the proof that was standing right in front of him. Oz could do nothing but stare in shock.
