When I opened my eyes, I was shocked at the damage Akito had caused.

My body was fine, but my psychic nerves were damaged.

Stretching, I sent a messages through my body. I flailed and wrenched like a marrionette, and then settled.

Bang! Haru dropped the lunch tray and ran to me, trying to still my convulsions. He made to scream for the Healer, but I put my hand over his mouth.

He struggled, but my body calmed after a moment.

"It's alright." I whispered. "My body is back to normal now. You don't have to bother with me anymore."

"Idiot." Haru snarled. "I'll never leave your side."

He collapsed in the chair next to me, finally letting himself rest. I put a blanket over him, thankful.
