A/N: The chapter in which Yulia reveals she is even more clumsy than Tear!

Eventually she heard footsteps and looked up, surprised to see not only Asch, but Lorelei and Yulia as well.

"Mum!" Tear said in surprise, causing Asch to look at her in surprise before redirecting his attention to Luke.

"Oi. Idiot. Wake up," he muttered, kicking him.

"Asch, stop that and pick him up," Lorelei scolded, and Asch shrugged, bending down and pulling Luke up. He staggered under the weight with a gasp.

"Jeez, he needs cut down on the cake.." he grunted, forcing himself to stand.

Yulia went over to Tear. "Tear, sweetie, what happened?"

"Um, I worked out the meaning to the first verse and sang it to Luke, and he kinda..passed out."

Yulia glanced over at Luke, biting her lip. "Yes, I would definitely say that. I should have warned you sweetie, if you don't control the power, it can have a really strong effect on those near you. You have to direct it properly," she explained.

"Oh...Sorry," Tear murmured, looking upset.

"It's alright, I should have told you," Yulia replied with a smile, then crossed over to Luke and checked him over. Finally she sighed in relief. "Well, at least he's not in a coma. He should wake up soon. A couple of days at the longest," Yulia said to Lorelei.

"Ugh, he's lazy enough as it is, he doesn't need more sleep," Asch muttered, and Lorelei gave him a whack on the back of his head. "Ow! What was that for, old man!?"

"Ever considered being polite?" Lorelei asked with a raised eyebrow, then turned to Yulia. "Alright, thanks. I'll leave you with Tear and get this one to bed," he said with a smile, before taking Luke from Asch with ease and walking back the way they had come.

Tear turned to Yulia. "I'm sorry...I didn't realise how strong it would be, I thought it might not work.." she murmured.

"You don't need to apologise. When I first tried it, I ended up knocking out six of my friends and put two of them in a coma, though they woke up about a week later," Yulia said with an awkward laugh.

Tear blinked, then stifled a giggle. Yulia smiled, then took her hand.

"Now come on. We can go check in on Luke if you want, but I assure you, he'll be fine," she said, and Tear nodded, smiling.

Tear knocked on the door, waiting a moment.

"Come in," the voice called, and she opened it, stepping inside.

Lorelei looked up from the paperwork he was doing, and smiled. "Ah, Tear. I was hoping you'd come by soon," he said, standing up.

"Um, why did you need to see me?" she asked, a little confused, and watched as he began rummaging in a drawer.

Finally he found what he was looking for and turned. "Catch," he said, throwing it towards her, and she caught it reflexively before looking at it in surprise.

"A...phone?"

Lorelei sat down again, crossing his legs. "Twice now you've had to call someone in an emergency, but there's no telling when there might come a time you need to contact us and don't have any means of communication. So, I deemed it necessary to have your own phone." Tear looked at it, pressing the switch and looking at it. "It's basically the same as Luke's and Asch's, but theirs are more personalised because of..certain circumstances. Yours acts a normal phone, just with all the number you should need input already."

Tear looked up. "But...why would you give it to me?" she asked.

Lorelei shrugged. "I have my reasons. You don't need to know them, however. Oh, and make sure you don't show it to just anyone. It would be awkward if it spread that I was giving phones to students," he said with a laugh.

Tear nodded slowly, then put it in her pocket. "Thank you, Lorelei," she said with a smile.

"No problem," Lorelei waved it off, and Tear turned to leave. Then she blinked, and glanced back.

"Lorelei?"

"Mmm?"

"Um..has Luke woken up yet?"

"Who, that idiot? Yeah, he's awake. A little groggy, but personally, I think that's a good thing. He's too active for his own good anyway," Lorelei replied. Tear would have thought he was simply being spiteful or cruel, except there was a slight smile playing on his lips. She raised an eyebrow.

"Indeed," she said in a disbelieving tone, and he looked up to ask her what she meant, but she had already left. He sat there for a moment, then sighed.

"She can read me almost as easily as Yulia..." he mumbled to the wall.

"That's because you're easy to read," the wall replied.

Lorelei glared flatly at the wall. "Asch, stop eavesdropping." He heard the sound of feet walking off and sighed. "Honestly.." he muttered, turning back to his work with a smile on his lips.
