Tama calmed in my arms, and I finally let her go, stepping back, but I kept my hands on her shoulders. She rubbed her eye and then slowly looked up at me. It looked like she was about to start crying again, but I babbled to keep her from falling apart again.
"Tama, this wasn't your fault. Energy Lich is meant to take energy and use it, but you took too much, so you transferred it to me. That should have only gone into the MAS unit, but I absorbed it instead and then used it to power the MAS. Me screaming and blacking out was because there is something different about me, and I need to get back to Galantia and see what is in the chest at the end of my bed!"
I gasped for air, and Tama had a startled look on her face. I tipped my head and let go of Tama's shoulders and then sank to the ground. I was still pretty tired, but then I noticed what I had been too busy to notice.
