Somehow, Anise wasn't surprised Luke didn't know his own room number. She was kind of impressed he could actually narrow it down to the hallway, though. It was already a big improvement from his last stay at the institute. She committed the spot to memory, just in case.

"Oh, while I'm here..." Anise grabbed a pen and began to write more on the note she had been holding since the start of the shift. "I promised Guy I'd keep him up to date on how Ion's doing. We've been using code names on the bulletin board - you remember those Abyssman costumes Emperor Peony made for us?"

The girl then paused, pen in the air. "Oh. Should I tell him you're here, too?" Her face then shifted from a thoughtful look to a mischievous grin. "Or... should I let you surprise him?" She giggled. Sure, telling him was the polite thing to do, but a face-to-face reunion would just be way more interesting, wouldn't it?
