Ah! Noooo, they had been so close!

Rapunzel bopped the mattress sharply as she came to in her bed. Everything had blacked out just as Ippo climbed over that stone wall, and now she was back in her bed. This was like if she had lowered herself out of her tower for the first time, only to suddenly find herself back in the familiar, painted surroundings of her bedroom. Maybe not on that level exactly, but it was still frustrating.

At least the morning offered up a few new oddities for Rapunzel to puzzle over. Like why she was suddenly in the grey uniform they had stuck her with on her first day in the Institute. Or why her soldier escort was dressing like the nurses had. Or, most confusingly, why that man Landel was talking out of the ceiling again. Hadn't he been given the boot?

Maybe Soma could help her out, thought Rapunzel as she made her way to the Sun Room. She needed to check up on the other girl after a whole day and night apart, anyway. Here was hoping the other girl hadn't run into anything nasty. She had confidence that Soma could handle herself, but that didn't mean she couldn't worry if she wanted to.

Thankfully, it looked like Ippo was all right. Rapunzel left him a note of reassurance before turning to the crowd of grey-clad patients, searching for that familiar head of white hair.

[For Soma, naturally]
