Anna: (quickly standing up, startling everyone) I'm going home.

Maka: But, Anna, what if Raina wakes up? You want to be there, right?

Anna: (looking at Maka with tears in her eyes) Maka, you know as well as I do that Raina isn't coming back.

Liz: (paying attention to her nails) Miracles happen all the time, Anna. You should stay. (she takes out a nail file and starts grooming)

Patty: Yeah! Raina will be ok! Just like Maka and Soul and Black*Star and Kid! They all got better! Why can't Raina?

Anna: Wait... Black*Star?

Black*Star: Yeah! I'm so awesome that I came back from the dead! I've surpassed God! I've- (then Maka hits him with a book and he shuts up)

Anna: (smiling a little at the scene) Is there anyone in your little group who hasn't been scarred for life? I mean, really?

Patty: (childish) Nope!

Anna: What about you guys, Liz, Patty?

Liz: Well, we've been scarred for life alright.

Anna: Huh?

Maka leans over and whispers in Anna's ear. Anna's eyes widen and she nods, understanding.

Tsubaki: (off to the side) I think that once Raina gets better, we're going to have a party!

Anna: (quietly, sitting back down, whispering) Yeah... that would be fun...

Then Nygus walks into the room. She calls Anna out, and Anna follows, hope and sadness mixed together. Maka is told by the others to check on Raina's soul from here, so she does.

Soul: And? (asking Maka after she opens her eyes again)

Maka: I can't really tell. It's really clouded, but she seems alright from what I can tell.

Liz: I don't see what she's worried about. We've had worse injuries in the past.

Kid: She bled a lot, Liz. There's only so much blood a person can lose before...

Kid doesn't finish because Anna walks back in. She doesn't say anything, and her face is neutral. She gathers her bag and walks out again. Everyone looks at the door with a quizzical look. Then Nygus walks in and waves them all over.

Maka: Is Raina ok?

Nygus: Raina's going to be fine in a few weeks, (everyone sighs in relief) But there is some bad news.

Kid: What's the bad news?

Nygus: Raina's parents have called. Apparently they think that being a meister is too dangerous for Raina and they want her to come home immediately.

Maka: Is Raina awake? Does she know about this?

Nygus: (nodding) She knows. She was the one who talked to her parents, in fact. She said that they were cutting her off from everything, to make her move back there.

Patty: (sad) So, Raina's leaving Death City?

Maka: She's not going to. Raina told me she would keep fighting until she goes down. She's still in this, right? (looks at Nygus) Can we go see her?

Nygus: (nodding, a smile in her voice) Of course.

Maka and Soul lead the group to the dispensary, where Raina was laying, talking to Anna in quiet voices. Raina's head turns as soon as the door opens, and she smiles half-heartedly at the group.

Raina: Hey, guys, whats-(Black*Star points a finger in her face and she stops talking)

Black*Star (loudly) You are not leaving your god, are you?

Raina: (smirking, slowly lifting her hand and pushing his hand away.) Of course not. We still have to have a rematch, remember?

Black*Star: Alright!
