During one evening aboard the Zuikaku, all of Erich's and Miho's friends were hanging out with each other like usual. All were in their school outfits as they walked about the large carrier's top deck.

Erich took a casual look at the sunset, and he grew a thought upon seeing it. "Hey, does anyone know why David sleeps so much?" he wondered aloud.

Anton looked over to David. "Isn't it because he has chronic fatigue?" he wondered.

"Yes," David answered to confirm as he looked on ahead.

"Huh, well that answers that question then," Erich noted while he looked on at David. He then grew another related thought, and he looked over to Mako. "But what about Mako? Why does she always sleep?"

"I'll tell you why!" Saori began with a passion as she stepped ahead of everyone. She then faced them with a finger held up. "The reason why Mako oversleeps is because of her low blood pressure!"

"Yup," Mako confirmed with her typical monotone as if it was no big deal.

"Therefore, to wake her up without delay, we'll just have to get as much blood to her brain as possible!" Saori continued with her passionate tone. Why she was so passionate about the subject was because she was tired of seeing Mako always oversleep.

Both Erich and Miho could sense the passion Saori had at the moment, and Miho leaned over to Erich's ear with a bit of a concerned look as she saw Saori act the way she did. "Please make sure she doesn't go overboard," Miho whispered into his ear.

Erich nodded slightly in response as he looked back to her out of the corner of his eye. "Got it," he confirmed the objective he was just assigned.

The next morning, Saori was already at Mako's place as she prepared to wake her up. But she was unaware that there was someone else who had followed her there.

Silently following after the noisier Saori into Mako's house was Erich. He was there to fulfill the order Miho had given him to make sure Saori didn't go overboard with trying to wake up Mako.

He followed Saori all the way to Mako's room, and he witnessed Saori walk straight up to Mako's bed. Erich stayed behind at the doorway.

"This'll clear her head and dispel her drowsiness for sure!" Saori claimed with a passion as she lifted a sleeping Mako off of her bed by the ankles. Saori held Mako there dangling upside down for some time.

'Oh, boy, this can't be good,' Erich thought as he saw Mako's face start turning red from the blood rushing to her head.

"Huh?" Saori wondered in confusion upon hearing Mako stay quiet. "Mako, are you still there?"

'That's it, it's time to get into action,' Erich thought as he saw Mako's eyes open. They were red now from the blood rush.

Erich then rushed forth to Mako from his place by the doorway and took her shoulders as he raised her upper body to sit up. "Mako, you alright?" he asked her as he propped her up by the shoulders.

Upon being turned back upright, Mako fell asleep again after her face returned to normal.

"Bubi?" Saori asked in utter confusion mixed with surprise as she released Mako's ankles. She did not expect him to be there at all, and she was lost as to why he was there in the first place.

Erich looked to her in response. "Please don't hold her like that again," he requested her with a more serious look. "You have no idea what red-out feels like, so don't put her in that scenario if you know what's good for her."

"But she needs to wake up!" Saori stomped the floor with frustration evident on her face and in her action.

Erich rolled his eyes in exasperation. "I know," he agreed reluctantly. "But this isn't the way to do it." He then passed the sleeping Mako over to Saori. "Anyway, just get her dressed and let's get going. The others are waiting for us."
