Alfons was honestly glad to see Ritsuka... even if that sweater was kind of much. And seeing the two of them with so much reminded him that it was really getting cold outside; he'd have to see if one of the nurses had just forgotten to hand him a jacket or something, or if he'd just overlooked it earlier. In his condition, getting a chill wouldn't be a good thing. "I'm glad to see you," he said to the black-haired boy, then turned to Miku.

...and was Miku feeling all right, really? Her ears were turning pink, so maybe she was cold after all... Trying his best not to worry, the tallest of the three instead said, "I met a few people, but I didn't really get that far... there were two monsters one right after another, and I couldn't really get past the second." He'd almost been petrified, really; how many horrible things would this Institute have!?
