The group soon arrived at an old village called Mapple. They headed to the centre of the village and checked into a hotel to rest while waiting for night-time to come.
Alicia, having fallen asleep immediately in her bed for hours since the moment she checked into her room, was startled when she finally woke up and noticed that the sun was already setting. She had slept as though she had been so tired, almost similarly to her just coming home from a few days of going through a long and exhausting battle. It bothered her greatly that she berated herself quite harshly as she rose and speedily washed up and prepared herself to leave her room.
After some looking about, she found her comrades already gathered and sitting around a large table at the hotel's terrace. Gracefully, Alicia navigated herself towards the only empty chair next to Zeres.
