[h2][center]Alter Ego — Meltryllis[/center][/h2]
The days following the incident with the Shadow Servants had left Meltryllis with a distinct lack of [i]anything[/i] to do. With her Master out of commission from doing one of the [i]dumbest[/i] things she could have imagined a human doing, it was a wonder to the Alter Ego that she was even [i]alive[/i] right now. Questioning the logic behind such an action was impossible so long as she was unconscious, of course, and she planned to thoroughly berate the girl on her stupidity, but that would have to wait until she woke up.

It made sense, then, to spend the next few days exploring the city; so long as her Master was not dead, then she wouldn't have to rely on Independent Action to continue manifesting. Though wandering around at ground level was next to impossible due to her legs (and her dislike of the prosthetics that her Master had chosen), leaping from rooftop to rooftop was not.

After two days of exploring on her own, Meltryllis was surprised to find that her Master had actually managed to recover enough to break out of her coma. It was surprising how slow humans were to recover, but given the current year that sort of issue could not have been helped.

The following days had been a far simpler affair; a doctor would come to Nanako's room, check on her condition, and leave; it only took a few days of checking in and treatment before the arm had begun to set properly, which meant that she could be sent home with little issue.

Needless to say, Meltryllis made sure that she was at least able to get home without issue before resuming on her daily outing. The freedom compared to the first few days she had been with her Master felt like a breath of fresh air, and she was more than willing to take advantage of that time for herself.

It wasn't like Nanako was often conscious for more than a few hours at a time thanks to her medication, either. She was slowly recovering enough to not [i]require[/i] painkillers, at least, which meant that spending most of her time sleeping was also coming to a close.

With that said, though, the purple-haired Alter Ego's return to her Master's home [i]this[/i] time coincided with Nanako's own awakening—a fact that Meltryllis did not fail to acknowledge as she entered the apartment through the window.

"Oh? It's rare to see you lost in thought," she remarked, taking a seat across from Nanako, a single eyebrow raised as she looked at the girl in curiosity. "Has the pain finally gone away, then? I should think that a broken bone wouldn't be [i]that[/i] debilitating, but what do I know?"
