Hours ticked by before Michiko came out of the hot spring, I spent hours in our room waiting for her, Thea spent hours walking into our room pretending to look for something only to leave when she was Michi wasn't out yet, she'd go back to the living room and come back again at later time, true to his words Mahito spent hours on the front porch, so much so that I believed he would walk back up that mountain but instead he sat on the front porch till Suzuki came back
Maybe it was the sound of Suzuki's voice that pulled her out of the spring, because not long after Suzuki walked into the house, Michi stood up and walked out of the spring, her skin looked raw, red and a little blotchy, but that green tinge was gone and she was acting overly chipper
