I watched helplessly as Spati drove the others away, helping as best as I could (which wasn't much, I'll admit).

Once Ciel and the others were gone, I was left standing in the middle of the room with Spati, Leon, and Moonsong. And I knew that I wouldn't be there for long, since, with my help, Maria was almost completely healed.

Just as I suspected, she took control again. Unexpectedly, she didn't close me off from the outside, so I could see through her eyes and hear with her ears.

"What's next, Leon?" I heard her say.

I promise I'll be more active now that Maria's back.
