"....t-thank you..." the woman says as she struggled to get up, even with his help.The hood covered quite much of her face, except her mouth. Except, for a split second there was a smile on her face, and it wasn't a grateful smile...more like a...smirk actually. In that moment alone, the woman pulled out a small knife from her sleeve and stabbed Jean in the stomach.

He wasn't that defensive when the pillow hit him, it sorta reminded him of his childhood before receiving the pact, remembering that he would always have pillow fights with his friends. Takahisa chuckled a bit as he picked up the pillow on the ground and threw the pillow at one of the trainees.

"So I did some research on how to send you back to your respective dimension, and it is necessary that your soul stays linked to Kaika's until you return to your dimension. Now, this is the problem. Kaika, I suppose you remember that you and Peyton worked on creating the Warp Gem, correct?" Nero spoke with a serious tone.

"Er...yeah. I did that," Kaika says.

"And how long did that take you?" Nero asked with an eyebrow raised.

"About a week....wait, are you trying to say that it would take a week to make another Warp Gem?" Kaika said and finally caught on what Nero was trying to point out.

"Hopefully it is only a week and not longer. I'll focus on making the Warp Gem this time around, and I suppose you wouldn't mind keeping an eye on Eren. Your souls are linked, which means that if one of you is hurt, the other will feel their pain," Nero nodded.

"Of course I can do that, but you're making me feel like a babysitter now," Kaika said, seeing how things were starting to look like for their current situation.
