Outside 503, Wednesday Morning

As Romeo saw it, he had two choices: He could study for his ethics final, or he could find someone to bother.

The "finding someone to bother" was winning out as he tapped on Yurika and Jen's closed door.

"She said her time was running out, but I didn't think she meant now." The squeeze was appreciated, and Yurika calmed slightly, trailing her fingers along his shoulder. He was real and solid, and that helped. "I would think if they separated once, they could do it again, but I guess not. Naminé would have done it if she could."

Romeo shifted slightly, nestling against her more snugly. "It sounds like none of it is her choice. I wonder if it's Kairi's, even."

Yurika shook her head. "I doubt it, the witchling seemed even more confused than the rest of us. I don't think she even knew who Naminé was."

"You would think she would know a piece of herself," Romeo mused. "Is there anything we could do, to try to get a message to Naminé, or from her or ... anything." He had a pretty good idea what the answer was, but he needed to hear it.

"You'd have to ask Sokka, or Jamie or Valentine, they were all there, and know more about this than I do." Yurika rubbed at her eyes, trying to wipe away the evidence of her rather sleepless night. "Sokka was even said someone named Dizzy claimed Naminé didn't have a heart. How could anyone even think that? I just don't understand any of it."

"Maybe it's just too far from either of our worlds," Romeo said, going a little dizzy himself and dropping the 20 questions. It wasn't like he could fix it, anyhow.

He kissed her forehead. "Is there anything I could do?"

"Stay until I fall asleep?" she asked quietly. "I have to take my driver's test today, and I haven't slept at all. I need a nap before I can get behind the wheel and not kill anyone."

"I'm here as long as you need me," he promised, taking off his shoes to slide beneath the blanket with her.
