After a quick run into the dorm, Shirogane re-emerged with his evoker strapped into his holster on his thigh. Oddly enough, the newbies were pretty much raring to go despite having been ordered to stay behind. Akira remembered himself being more fearful of that first night, although that overwhelming fearfulness manifested in a strangely empowering anxiety. Guess they have a strong will to live...or maybe they're just stupid. He thought, observing the back and forth between a silver-haired girl with deathly sharp knives and a brony swinging a toy around as if it were a lethal weapon. While he could clearly see the newest members of SEES weren't about to go along with being put to bed, at the same time he had a nagging sense that something was missing.

Before too long he noticed she was missing and felt his heart skip a beat. When the hell had she disappeared and why didn't he notice sooner? "Sorry, I'm going back!" He announced to the team, before dashing back to the dorm hoping to find Ikeda. While sprinting back the sheer volume of thoughts going through his head was actively trying to destroy him again.

That thought came through stronger than any others and kept his feet pounding pavement until he burst through the door to the dorm lobby, practically wheezing as he scanned the room with wild eyes. He took a deep, well-deserved breath to regain his composure as he spied Ikeda among the newbies "What a relief..."
