Ash
The following morning, the New Age Inn was as tense as it had ever been. Ash and the others were having breakfast downstairs, and instead of the cheery early-day conversations and laughs that would be happening at this time, everyone in the building was silent. All Ash could hear was the occasional "can I get you something?" by one of the workers. Even Caroline, who gave Ash the impression of being just as energetic as Kaori, had an anxious look on her face.
It wasn't hard to guess what they were all thinking, of course.
