As soon as she was ready, Ayaka told her pets that she'd be back. She asked the staircase to take her to the main floor, then went to the grand doors and asked them to open. Outside, she saw Thomas and Mystique already talking to one of the new students who seemed to be the only new student for the moment.

She went up to the them to hear the new student pretty much ask if he was dreaming. "Hi, my name is Ayaka. I'm a student here, like Mystique is. No you aren't dreaming, though I can see where you would think that."
