[Rei is sitting on the roof with a book. It's sitting to the side with a pencil laid across the open pages. She's busily typing a messages into her device, then taking a few moments to look into the distance and enjoy the sun and the breeze before typing a new message.

She'll be up there all day. It's too crowded inside, but she won't be bothered by company.

I mean, is she ever bothered by anything?]

[He caught the smile, and was happy enough to have seen it. Once she turned away, he relaxed more, again setting a hand down to lean against his arm.

The day had been so long, and it wasn't even over yet. It had been so physically draining and mentally exhausting. Running through both sides of the Mansion for what seemed like an endless amount of time, facing the idea of betrayal or distrust or doubt, having to worry about his mirror and his intentions, having to worry just as much about the safety of his friends during the event and while he was without his Evoker, and then to have it... work out somehow in some strange way despite it all with a friend, someone whom he had wanted to protect, and someone whom he now had even more reason to protect with his life.

He looked out over to the ocean as well, in the same direction she had. His vision had been getting a little blurry. He knew the feeling well, it was similar to the one he had before when he was on another rooftop not too long ago.

It didn't take long for him after the realization to lay down on his back beside her, let everything go, and fall asleep.]

[Rei notices when he falls asleep and doesn't bother him, though she remains beside him until he wakes up again. In the meantime, she resumes her texted conversation with her mirror.]
