The group made it back to the Elven Kingdom, being teleported by Shi Heng. Seiji didn't say anything to anyone, keeping his head hung low. He's been embarrassed and even a little scared since the Wendigo had affected him the way it did. He didn't want to talk to anyone at all. He decided it was best to just keep to himself. If the Wendigo could control his demon, who knows what else could too. It was time to really get serious and get back to keeping it under control.
Seiji went inside his house, heading up to his bedroom. He was relieved Shaoqing was asleep when he got in. He was scared to talk, thinking something might happen. He would hate himself forever if he hurt Shaoqing. He sighed, getting into bed and starting to pull the covers over himself, but this seemed to wake Shaoqing up.
"Seiji?" Shaoqing asked softly. Seiji slowly turned his head to look at him.
