Suki didn't go to follow after Umichi and Yumi. She needed a bit if time to herself. She went up to her inn room, and after equipping her armor and wearing more comfortably clothes to be in an inn room. She sat on the bed, looking at the book she had brought, opening it.

She must have read the same line sixteen times. Her thoughts kept on distracting her, and making her kind drift. She lay back on the bed, setting to book aside defeated. 

"Oh, dad. I wonder if this is how Mum felt, in the beginning days of meeting you. I wonder if it's how you felt. I wish I could talk to you" she spoke out loud, and sighed. How could you feel love in a game? This was a death game, and yet...and yet she suddenly feared ending it. 

"Argh!" She flipped around onto her stomach, resting her head on her arms. So confused, and yet not. Somehow, she managed to fall asleep. That strange, dreamless gray filled sleep. She wouldn't get use to that. She woke up once more at four am. She lay there a minute, debating about what she should do. 

She had promised Umichi should wouldn't go and fight by herself again. So, what could she do for a few hours? She didn't know. She rose, dining her armor and Annael blade, starting out the inn. She went to a merchant, sold what she could, gaining another 500 col. Which enough ther total to 3.5k. She then went to get her blade enchanted, increasing it's durability, power and speed by one each, costing her 1.5k. That took about thirty minutes all up. 

4.30 am. What now? She glanced about, noticing that she was one of few people awake at this hour. She bit her lip, debating about what to do. She found a place to sit, under a lighted area and once more tried to read. By 6.45 she finally gave up again, and rose heading to the inn, knocking on Umichi's door right on 7 am.
