Otori walked away and plopped down on the couch. He them pulled out an obviously old PSP system. He turned it on and selected PeaceWalker. He smiled as memories began floating back. He would not take his eyes off of it for any reason.

Tokyo International Airport - Japan
Ran and John entered the airport without too many people taking notice. Of course, with John's heavy armor slamming the ground and Ran's fox ears visible, of course they would start to take the attention, but they didn't mind... or at least Ran didn't. She only wished that her tails were there. Her back felt... empty.
"Yukari-sama's plane will arrive soon." Ran said to John. Even to a tall Ran, John's size forced her to look up.

"Ok. Then I suppose we'll wait.", John said to Ran as he looked down and nodded at her.
Truth be told, this entire day was one long chain of running from point A to point B, fighting, emotional turmoil, and a giant surprise to top it all off. It was something John was a little used to, but sometimes he felt as if he was going to lose his mind. After a few seconds of looking out the window to the airstrip, John finally spoke.
"So, how was your day?", John suddenly asked Ran.
To be honest, John was a little exhausted by everything that had happened so far, and hearing how peaceful Ran's day would not only pass the time, but allow him to relax.

Banished Library
Renamon looked at the statues and their respective tiles, then she thought about how intrincate the puzzle room was indeed "Patchouli, I got to ask you, what would your father hide in that vault to make each floor a fatal trap to whoever tries to get in?" she asked to the magician

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

"Well it wasn't too hectic." Ran reminisced her day. "Meeting with the Moriya Shrine... medicine retrieval... it wasn't too busy, but it still kept me without rest for a bit."
Banished Library - Gensokyo
"Probably artifacts long forgotten in the real world." Patchouli hypothesized. "I can think of several... Sword Skofnung, Tarnkappe, Armor of Beowulf... they're all imbued with ancient magic that can shatter the balance of the world if found today."
"What can old items do to devastate the world?" Annie asked in confusion.
Patchouli thought for a second as she flipped through her encyclopedia grimoire. "Isn't there an item in your world called Zhonya's Hourglass?"
"Yeah... that item grants you a stasis effect for 2.5 seconds in the League match..." Annie nodded... "But the League item is a copy of the real one..."
"Exactly. Think about it this way... how strong is Zhonya's Hourglass in real world?" Patchouli asked.
"Well the real item, from what I've heard, gives the user a time stop of 60 seconds- Oooooh." Annie finally understood where Patchouli was getting at.
"Ancient magic is powerful magic. And Elios... is probably hoarding the artifact. Don't know why he's keeping them down here, but he's doing it for a reason, and that reason is probably bad."

Tokyo International Airport - Japan | Day
"If only we were all so lucky. My day's been a little bit more... hectic.", John said as he lightly smiled in his helmet.
"So far, I was given bad news by The Higher Power that The Auditor has an army of over 100 evil Characters, went to Hank's house, watched it explode, got in a fight with a giant black knight, summoned a group of Heartless, spoke to Jesus, fought through a zombie infested city, got my hands on a weapon capable of killing The Auditor, almost got my eyebrows singed off by a fireball, visited Patchouli, visited Yuuka, visited Patchouli again, went into an underground library, fought a specter that gave me a horrible nightmare, found out I have a daughter, fought a giant acidic slime, learned about 'future Otori', and finally learned about the future.", John said to Ran.
"That was only the first half of the day, and sadly, it's only 4 in the afternoon. I still have yet to get through the second half of the day.", John said with a slight chuckle.
After a moment, John asked Ran another question.
"So what's the medicine for?.. If you don't mind me asking of course.", John said to Ran.

"I've recently started developing insomnia." Ran answered as the gate opened. People from all over the world came outside, but no Yukari so far. The passengers weren't from the same plane Yukari was in. "So I asked Eirin-san to create a sleeping medicine for me to take nightly so I can sleep better."

"Sounds like he has quite the stash, but there's something curious..." Edward looked at the room again. "All this to keep people out is understandable. But...why make it so simple to get into the chambers? It's almost as though it's not keeping people out...but keeping something in..."
Misty Lake - Gensokyo
No response. The sword had no reaction. Only the aura surrounding it began to dissipate.

When John heard about Insomnia, it was usually from soldiers back in his universe. Due to what they went through, they would develop insomnia, PTSD, and various other psychological problems. It worried John slightly, especially since Ran suffered the most out of the group, having been tortured, then strained to the point of death. Even the most battle-hardened of soldiers would have a few restless nights if they went through something like that. Perhaps he was overreacting, perhaps it was nothing, but he wanted to make sure without drawing too much attention to the subject, at least for Ran's sake.
"What do you think is causing the Insomnia?", John calmly asked Ran.

"...It might be because of that day." Ran averted John's gaze. Even without saying, John knew what Ran meant. "It... I never felt such a permanent death... Yukari-sama, me, other Youkais that fell like Aya-san, Meiling-san... They must've been shocked that their existence would be so easily taken away. That shock... I guess it still lives in me... Eating my fear and growing stronger."
