After Syaoran and Meilin finished eating, they were escorted to their private chambers to get some much-needed rest. Mariesan and the empress were busy making sure that Meilin fit all the requirements for a possible next empress. Syaoran however, was tossing and turning in his bed, unable to sleep and thinking about the last few occurrences.

"I have a duplication of Meilin's powers...Her powers were stronger than mine...but after the twelfth moon...I'll be stronger than her again...but then how some I feel so bad? More powers means more strength, more initiative, and more pride...isn't that what I ever wanted? I mean...powers are so important...but now...every time I close my eyes...I think of Meilin...why? She is but a good friend...oh well...maybe I'm just confused...." he thought over and over until he eventually fell asleep.

Meilin however was going through almost exactly the same thing. "I should be feeling angry, I mean...they DUPLICATED my powers for Syaoran...but then...every time I think of him...I feel happy...when I'm around him, I feel warm and safe...but I already got over him...didn't I? Oh no...I can't still like him. I'll sort it out tomorrow." and she too, fell asleep.

The next morning, Syaoran and Meilin went to the gathering circle so that the elders could transport them back to Japan. The elders chanted and soon they were in Hong Kong no more.
