Yue thought it through a little. "... I don't know how it couldn't have been," she replied quietly.

"... Oh..." Fin said, not sure what else to say.

Wolfe looked at Nic.

--

Frei looked at his book shelf, seeing what he was reading.

Nic shrugged.

--

He had been reading a few science fiction books, a lot of history, and some about motorcycles.

Wolfe nodded slightly, "I guess that settles it then," he stated as he started to stand.

--

Frei looked back at Fin, "Let's... have fun," she stated in a totally bored voice.

Yue stood with him, "He can stay?" she asked.

--

"Okay," Fin said with a small smile. "What do you want to do?"

Wolfe nodded, started to walk out, then paused. "You want to be there when he wakes?" he asked Yue.

--

Frei pointed to the motorcycles.

Yue paused before nodding. Nic stood and started to walk out, not looking interested.

--

Fin blinked.

Wolfe didn't look at Nic as he nodded to Yue and expected her to follow him out.

--

Frei stood, grabbing Fin's hand before starting to drag him from the Juttle.

So Yue followed Wolfe.

--

Fin swallowed a little, but he let Frei drag him along.

Wolfe went straight to the room they were keeping Long, he was still dressed in James' clothing. Wolfe had already decreased the medications and Long would start drifting back to consciousness soon. One thing he would notice when he woke was a metal anklet clamped around his left ankle tightly but not painfully so.

Wolfe stood back, motioning for Yue to take the chair as he leaned against the far wall.

--

Frei dragged Fin to a different Juttle before strapping herself into the pilot's set.

So Yue went to sit next to Long. After waiting a few minutes she grabbed his hand gently.

When Long woke, he didn't move or open his eyes just like before. Yue didn't seem to notice he was awake.

--

"... You can fly?" he asked Frei, voice a little nervous.

Wolfe waited silently.

--

In response, Frei took off perfectly and smoothly, guiding the Juttle away from the landing platform.

After a few more minutes, Yue seemed to get that he was awake. "... Oh, stop that Long," she spat a little at him. Surprisingly, Long still didn't react. Yue sighed before leaning down and whispering something in Long's ear. That made him open his eyes and he blinked at Yue. "... It's alright," she told him gently.

--

Fin clutched the chair a little, glancing over at Frei for a moment and slowly letting go and trying to relax.

Wolfe continued to hang back, watching Long and Yue closely.

--

So Frei flew them away. Then suddenly she dropped into a corkscrew maneuver, probably showing off.

Yue didn't say anything for awhile as Long slowly got used to his surroundings. He looked at Wolfe for a moment before turning back to Yue.

"... Who did this to you?" she asked Long quietly.

Long was silent for a very long time, debating. Then finally he whispered, "I don't remember."

--

Fin started clinging to the chair again, but he didn't cry out as he stared wide-eyed out the window.

Wolfe continued to stay in the background and observe.

--

Frei smirked as she continued on her way. It looked like she was taking them out over open ocean.
