As they'd all suspected, Jushiro didn't let them get back to Tokyo. She spotted some of his thugs in the shadows.

"Good evening, Cousin. Come out like a big boy."

Brother Dork Number One's birthday was today. Anya wasn't sure exactly what the family plans were, but Anya was out at Xavier's in the morning to deliver his gifts to him. She had of course put some thought into his gifts. She couldn't get Misha just anything.

She got him a t-shirt that had "Professional Shopping Bag Carrier" on the front. There always had to be a joke gift. For his real present she got him a trip to Sydney, Australia for him and Lyta. First class all the way. She figured they were due for a real vacation.

She stopped by the garage to say hi to Darlene and promised upgrades soon. They chatted for awhile and then Anya said her goodbyes and headed up to the main building.

Rose. Rose. It' time to wake up.

Don't you think you've slept for long enough?

-No. Hurts. Let me stay here. It's quite here.-

Stop lying Rose. You know the pain stopped. Why are you asleep?

It's time to wake up Rose.

She became aware that she was in a bed. She had no pants. She was covered in a blanket and she could hear machines going around her. There was a tube down her throat too. Her eyes flickered open.

Then suddenly she heard people. A nurse had been passing by. Then there was a nod from Rose when the nurse acted if she was awake. Of course she is. It takes them time to work on her. It takes a few hours before they take the tube out. She's still going to be on a liquid diet but they think she's going to get better.

They leave her so she can rest and finally she sees the date.

"Oh my god. It's been a... almost a year," she mutters in a hoarse tone with wide eyes. No it's been longer.
