After losing consciousness, they found themselves in the same peaceful darkness, where they were before their rebirth. They didn't sense anything except each other's presence. And even this was enough, to turn the already familiar embrace of darkness into a stronghold of serenity and peace. But it was different than before, because now they could feel the soothing protective magic surrounding them. And as the sense of magic cleared, they began to regain their senses.

And they both knew that after they woke up, they would have a lot of questions to answer, about what had happened. The first thing they saw was each other's faces, their hands was still locked together and they smiled at each other's before sitting up.

– Palette! Goth! – Alter somewhat relieved yet worried voice greeted them. After a barely visible gasp, they lowered the protection surrounding them. Noticing Alter's voice, many turned to they way. Their recovery was greeted with joy and relief. Luckily, Medic stopped everyone before they rushed to them, something that Goth and Palette were definitely able to appreciate.

– How do you feel? Does something hurt? – asked Medic, carefully approaching the two teenagers.

– A little weak, but nothing hurts... – Nightmare/Palette with a weak smile. Only now started to feel, how much the magic they used has taken a toll on him.

– Besides the taste of blood and fatigue I'm fine – Error/Goth said, smiling at his own words. Star also appreciated his humor and hold back a laugh.

– I see... Do you two mind, if I check you a bit and ask a few questions? – Medic trying to do his job respectfully. He signaled to the observers to go back to their own business. They did so, but sometimes their eyes still wandered to them, they were curious and worried mainly about Palette's well-being.
