The glimpse she got upon waking up let Keiko know that, despite the brief moment of elation, she was still missing something. It wasn't that she was jealous of Kaori specifically, as she turned away from the two of them, she understood that.
No, she just wanted to be with them. The both of them. But she didn't know if she deserved that space. At least, not yet.
"Hey, you okay?" Ash asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Yes, y-yes," Keiko replied, taking a deep breath. "Do you know what time it is?"
"Uh, no," Ash replied. "We, I, uh..." In a rare moment of embarrassment from the half-demon, she muttered, "I had just woken up."
"Heh, I see." Keiko nodded with a small chuckle. She sat up and put her hands on the bed's edge, nodding to herself. "I'll be back in a bit."
"Hm?" Ash sat up next to her. "What do you mean?"
"I just need to walk. Plus, I'd like to see the city a little, you know?" Keiko responded.
