[Reiko pats Aline's arm in order to calm her down.] Shh, shh. It's almost over. [She herself is growing wearier by the moment, and with her head laying on the cot it's hard for her to not keep her eyes closed for longer amounts of time with each blink. Hopefully Becky can grab the rod if she does fall asleep and loosens her grip...
A little while passes like this, and maybe she does fall asleep for a moment, but it's soon interrupted by a rush of wind sucking their makeshift tent-in-a-tent right off of the three of them. Various other items go flying through the air towards two Murakumo mages using their wind magic to clear the pollen from the tent.
Once finished, one of them announces,] The Dragon, codenamed Sleepy Hollow, has been exterminated. We will begin the process of breaking camp. You need to begin your final preparations as well.
[Aline is wide-eyed as she watches the mages leave, and then looks around, taking in everything. She's finally fully awake and back to her senses. Reiko is also quickly back on her feet after the announcement, whipping off her mask and smiling broadly at Becky and Aline. The faintest hint of tears can be seen in the corners of her eyes.] It's over! Everything's okay! I'm so glad! [She'd hug them like she would her own children, but she's able to hold back the urge, leaning dotingly over them on the cot instead.]
Aline, you're looking the best I've ever seen you. I'll look you over one more time, and then you'll be free to leave if you want. Becky, it sounds like you should find your Academy group before you get left behind! [She has to wipe away a tear that begins to fall.] But I'll miss both of you. Don't forget me, okay?
