"She's waking up!" She heard a familiar voice say. She slowly opened her eyes and was immediately met by the faces of her friends hovering above her

(Forgot one line and some color on Barbara's shoulder but oh well also pretend Zazie was here the entire effing time, I fucking forgot him 😭)

"Hi" Yunna greeted

"... Hi" Emma silently greeted back as she attempted to sit up, but was met by a concerning amount of sharp agony

"Aye, aye, aye, don't move, your burns are still fresh" Spur gently pushed her back down. Emma inspected her arms and legs, seeing bandages and burns all over her limbs and torso

"Where's Norman..?" Emma asked

"Seriously? He's the first thing you're worried about? Not the fact that you are almost completely covered in burns and scars?" Spur replied

"Where is he?" Emma asked again

"He's over there" Yunna pointed to the charred remains of Lambda in the distant end of the forest, Norman standing and staring at it

"Wait..." Emma whispered and whipped her head back to her two demon friends "Wh- WHERE'S FATHER...!?" she shot back up, ignoring the pain shooting through her body

"Emma! Be careful!" Spur exclaimed

"WHERE'S FATHER!?" Emma finally noticed how scratchy and rough her voice was "WHAT H- HAPPENED TO MY VOICE..?" Emma panicked

"Calm down! The fire just messed up your voice a little, you'll be okay" Yunna cut in, making Emma glare at him

"Where is my father..?" Emma choked out

"... We... We don't know..." Spur sighed. Emma was silent for a couple seconds, pushing Yunna to speak up

"But, hey, don't worry, a few people escaped, and we couldn't find his corpse. There's a pretty good chance that he's alive right now" Yunna pointed out

"He... Didn't come for me..." Emma sobbed

"Oh, god, Emma..." Spur gasped lightly and hugged the crying girl on the ground. Meanwhile, Barbara, Cislo, Vincent and Zazie sat in silence as Spur comforted the gingerette on the grassy forest floor. Seeing the Emma Ratri crying was a very new experience to them. They all looked at each other awkwardly as the young girl sobbed quietly "Yunna, go get the kid" Spur motioned at Norman. Yunna got up and walked over to Norman, turned and pointed at Emma. The albino boy rushed up to his friend and offered comfort, like he always did. Uneasy but peaceful silence set into the scene as everyone sat on the ground
