Saffron nodded in agreement and concentrated on Tutsumi, lowering his temperature to make sure it stayed at freezing.
"Eeeh?" Yuki looked to Iri with tired eyes, then down at the pile of pieces.
"Nah... can't sleep is all. I need somethin' t'do."

Iri picks up a puzzle piece and takes a moment to study what Yuki's already done. She isn't one for puzzles herself, but that doesn't mean she's bad at them. When a possibility is found, she sets the piece down and fixes it with another. "So why haven't you been sleeping?"

"Try to; just can't." She said, rushing pieces together. She was quite fast with this kind of stuff.
After getting all the visible edge pieces to fit, she started sorting the pieces by color.
"What's up with the dead bodies?" She asked, eying Reeve and Tutsumi's bodies.

Iri crouches on the other side of the puzzle from Yuki. "Apparently Tutsumi and Reeve can travel to and from Hell, only after committing suicide of course. They're after the memories of an old friend they call Fenris. And Saffron, a most welcome guest," Iri nods her head toward said woman, "is something like Fenris's reincarnate. That's how I know it anyway. So how is it that you can't sleep? One would think you'd eventually pass out from sleep deprivation."

"Mmmh... you've practiced that speech, haven't you?" Yuki said with a soft grin. "I see... all I heard is that some broad Fenris died. I was the one who told Reeve. He went ballistic when I told him... he really love that woman..."
Yuki looked up for a moment then sighed. "Be careful for what might happen, Iri. You two are a couple now, but that does not mean Reeve is not in love with Fenris anymore. He did kill himself to get her memories back... did he not?"
At the question, Yuki looked back to Iri. "Mmmh... t'was what I thought. But, something is keeping me from falling asleep. Closing my eyes is enough to satisfy my aching eyes... but... it's the damned virus Seph gave me..."
In anger, she chucked something at the wall. It was one of the puzzle pieces; somehow it had lodged into the wall... "It is keeping me awake to weaken my immune system. Then it will take control of me and infect others... hence why I will be leaving soon...at least until a cure is found..."

Iri watches the puzzle piece lodge itself into the wall with slightly wider than usual eyes. How does one pierce wood with a piece of something like cardboard? She faces Yuki again. "Wow. When I first met Seph, I knew something about him weirded me out. I'll know to keep my distance from him now."
"As for Reeve," Iri sighs and rocks back on her heels. Both wings twitch a little, but that's the only giveaway to her carefully concealed emotions. "As much as I'd like him to stay with me, I want him to choose whatever decision will make him the happiest. If he would be happier with Fenris, then... And I don't blame him for wanting to help Fenris, either. Those kinds of actions speak for the quality of his character."

"I doubt he would want t'disapoint such a beautiful lass." Yuki said with a smile up at her. "Just think of how lucky y'are that he picked you. Neh? But... don't be surprised if starts actin' like th' hero t' someone else. He may just love 'em in a different way. Y'know, after you're with someone, you may git ov'r the love... but you still care."
She got up and grabbed the piece from the wall before slipping back to her spot. the piece, surprisingly, was unharmed. She looked at it, then connected it to the head of some animated ninja.

"Aye, forgive 'im f'r bein' the fairytale type," Sarah says, leaning on the doorpost. "He's always tryin' to make thin's right."

"Right?" Asked Saffron, looking up at Sarah.
"Bah... he would rather not f'r some people, that I know." Yuki commented, shrugging a bit.
"Mmh... Sarah...?" Saffron asked looking to her with an unsure face, "What did 'Fenris' do?" She was not exactly sure if it was her... after all, the way these people commented her like that was not like her!

"Aye, he'd rather not," Sarah says. "But he will, every time, for every one."
The girl takes off her beret and shakes her head slowly.
" Saffron," she says, "She broke his heart, plain and simple. Left him after everything for the Headmaster...that killed the boy. Neko was like his big brother. I saw him, his eyes...they changed. Like a part o' his soul left him. Soul-less and grey..."

"I see..." She frowned and looked to the floor. "I doubt she was very happy if she killed herself while with the 'headmaster' then. Her being attached to another soul... she might have been intrigued into things she never wanted."
She sighed, checking Tutsumi's temperature, then Reeve, keeping them at freezing.

While Yuki and Iri talked, a crack appeared in the air near them. This crack appeared suddenly, and the cause of it appeared to be four fingers that floated in the air. The fingers wiggled for a few moments, and the crack widened as a second set of fingers joined the first. In a few more moments, the crack in the air was widened. After a minute, the crack had widened into an oval portal large enough for a person to step through, and the source of it could be plainly seen. Sage was standing in the center of the portal, his eyes closed, and a mountainous landscape behind him.
Sage hopped through the portal, and into the main room of the dojo. The portal he had created then closed itself behind him and left no trace that it had ever been. There was something strange about Sage though...he had a tail swaying behind him.

Reeve's eyes flutter open, slowly.
"Unh..."

With a sudden shake and a gasp for air, Tutsumi's eyes flashed open. He would look up towards the sky and then down towards Reeve.
"Reeve, you okay?"

Yuki saw the portal and made a weird face, watching it. She she saw Sage emerge from it, she sighed. He had learned!
After a moment, her eyes caught sight of the tail. As it swayed as watched it... then grabbed it quickly. "Oi, monkey boy! Where'd this come from?"
As Reeve's eyes fluttered open, Saffron let their bodies warm up, bring them slowly up to a good temperature. "Don't move yet, kay Reeve?" She asked him softly, placing a hand of his shoulder. "Your body was at a freezing temperature, so your veins may crack and such if you move."
