[It's been four days since this incident took place, and now Yuan's finally fully regaining consciousness. The first thing he notices is a pounding headache. Roughly ten seconds later, he realizes his surroundings aren't quite what he expected to see. He's lying virtually face-down in a bed in the clinic. Peculiar, because last he remembers, he'd left the village and headed for the mountains. Raine had come to see him, but his recollection turns a bit fuzzy after that. The white wolf was there as well. And there was a searing pain... Like his entire body had cried out in protest.

He sits up straight with some difficulty, taking deep breaths to steady himself. His hands... They're just as they always were. A quick inspection tells him there's no sign of the black rash anywhere. Aku's presence is gone, leaving him to feel drained and somewhat sore. Some time passes in which he regains his senses and tries to sort out most of his memories. Dammit, what had he been doing?

Finally, he grabs his journal from the nightstand, wondering briefly who'd left it here for him to find. Probably the same person who dragged him to the clinic in the first place.]

Where are you?

[With that done, he lies back to rest. He really does hate the clinic, but right now he's in no state to leave. Visitors will be received grudgingly but without protest.]

A goddess? [He's still so used to the concept of goddesses being fake that he finds that hard to believe. Though she did seem very much unlike a normal wolf.]

I know it seems hard to believe, but ... once I began to consider that there was something more to her, after ... well, the demon was pulled out of you, she began to appear different to me.

... There's all sorts of beings in Luceti. Power or strange abilities don't necessarily indicate godhood.

Not every world is like our own, Yuan.

I know that.

I'm simply telling you what I've learned.

Hm. [Well, whatever she is, he'll have to seek her out and thank her once he gets out of here.]

What happened to Aku's essence after it was drawn out?
