Masuyo had fallen asleep by the fire after eating. Noises from the others woke her, causing her to sit up quickly. She looked around with sleepy eyes and seen Chumana and Ryker. From what she saw and kind of overheard it seemed that the girl had a nightmare and the older male was calming and comforting her. The pair somewhat reminded her of father and daughter. This caused her to smile slightly, but it faded quickly. Now that she was mostly awake she felt out of place. She didn’t belong here, even if they were new friends. She needed to get back to her own cave.

The young woman quietly got up from where she had been laying. She grimaced slightly as she put weight on her hurt leg. It had grown stiff from sitting and lying. Pushing through the pain she limped over to the mouth of the cave. “Goodbye,” she whispered before heading out.

Once she was a few feet away from the cave entrance she listened closely. The sounds of nature around her would help tell her which way she needed to head to get home. Several minutes passed, but she got her heading. Spotting a suitable branch nearby she picked it up to use as a walking stick. That was really going to come in handy she thought to herself. Masuyo started off towards where she assumed her home would be found. The going was slow and a little painful, but she could bare it. After she had gotten a little ways away she caught herself looking back, wondering if she was doing the right thing. Something was telling her to go back and to do it quickly.
