Jello:
Haruka gave a small wave to Butler-san as well as a huge smile to see him again. He'd been to hell and back, literally, so this was a lovely reunion. Crashing and yelling came from inside several moments later as he went to notify Yukino of his appearance at the manor. He sort just stared around the well-decorated outside of the building. He had been here so many times.

Haruka spent several moments just reminiscing about all of the things he had been through over the years and how these halls never changed and only the people inside do. A wave of nostalgia, then depression ran over him. He shook his head as footsteps approached him. His heart pounded painfully. Sera's grip. But Haruka knew this from a year ago. The way he did this to keep Haruka from doing what he wanted. But Sera wasn't just taking control... what was wrong with him? Haruka was glad he had enough control of himself now but what was keeping him from fighting back?

She appeared, standing there kind of in her soldier outfit. No gloves. No boots. She seemed more than irritated. Maybe Haruka made the wrong call showing up here considering the events prior only a night ago. Some really terrible things happen. He stood frozen for a moment, just blinking at her. If he didn't say something he might get roundhouse kicked. Or worse.

"Yukino..." He let out her name, slowly reaching out. This was probably the most notable sign Haruka had for anybody. His classic reach, for a shake, to hold a hand, to caress their face, to pat their head. He always had to reach out first so they knew it was him caring for them, understanding them, and not just waiting for something to start. He had to make things start.

"Yu-ki-no..." He smiled lightly reaching out for her. Not sure whether he was reaching for her hand, her face. He was just reaching out for... Well.

Something.

"Are you okay?" The injury was still noticeable, for sure.

Cherry:
Yugure walked down the hall with the maid and Butler-san. While gripping her head in a pain, she gave them orders for the war effort. All they really wanted was for their queen to sit down and relax for more than two minutes. Injury or no injury, she rationalized that necessary work came first. Eventually, they reached... the guest. Yugure's heart skipped a bit at seeing Haruka- no. Don't get lured in. It's Sera - the enemy. The servants left the pair be, and fury welled up. How dare Link Joker's Seed himself arrive at doorstep? Did he suddenly feel guilty and want to die for the hell he caused? Worry not, a blade of courage or a claymore of resolution were more than thirsty enough for the Seed's blood.

Instead, Haruka called a name. Not Sera, but her beloved.

It was her name.

He was reaching out again.

No, no, was this Sera messing around with her? Was it really Haruka?

Was it okay to touch him back?

Tentatively, Yugure's hand went out for his as if metal attracted to a magnet. She took it, and wasn't sure what to do with it.

"... Are you?" Was the response to his question.

Jello:
"H-Huh? Oh, I'm fine. I guess. We're fine...? I'm not sure how to address this." He sort of stared at her blankly for a second, making sure everything was real. The poor boy died once, it gets really difficult telling reality from truth these days, so he had to at least do that much.

"Can I come inside. I, uhm. I have some explaining to do." His eyes searched around one last time. He more than nervous, not because he was now with Yukino again, but he was frightfully terrified Sera would come out and constrict the poor boy. Yukino has a sword, but has she fought Sera? According to the annals he has stored in his memory... the thing has killed dragons even. Sera was combat trained to kill and that made Haruka a vessel; a weapon.

He shook a bit as she took his hand, visibly still frightened. Not of her, not at all. Just of what he might do.

"You really should get that checked out, by the way." Haruka said that finally smiling for her. She deserved that much. An honest smile to help keep her stable. He was still shaking but he really wanted to not stand in the doorway while discussing this.

This being the fact he died, came back, and merged with an evil entity seeking to destroy everything. If Yukino was anyone else, there is no way in hell these two would have made it as far as they have now.

Cherry:
The endless trembling, the obvious anxiety, relentless nerves, a feeling of responsibility, and still looking out for her well being... Alright... it was him. The man before her was the same one she fell in love with. Hand squeezing his, acceptance was conveyed. Mind you, hearing Sera being fine resulted in a quiet hissing. Still, he was okay... after death, so that's... relieving? This was just getting confusing, so Yugure simply nodded, stood to the side, and welcomed him into the manor. There was clearly a massive amount of explaining he needed to do, and possibly even a whole mess of info to leak.

While simply happy to be with boyfriend again, guard was not let down. Neither was duty.

Jello:
With a nod he trudged into the house. The familiar halls sent an immediate rush of nostalgia through his mind. The second he entered the hall, Butler-san greeted him with a large smile and a cup of coffee.

Coffee.

It had been so long since he had a cup of coffee that it took no time at all for him to grab the cup and take one long sip. He breathed out a euphoric sigh of relief whilst turning back to Yukino with a smile.

"Shall we?" He gestured her over to the living room area, the time he had been here was the one time had his first close encounter with Yukino. That was definitely something to remember...

"So. Where to start..." Haruka carefully seated himself, somewhat squirming around in his seat. He was obviously still a bit nervous, but also just worried at any second he knows his heart could turn. The fear was nearly overwhelming.

"So uh, I died! Yeah... Yeah. Uhm." Haruka gulped, putting the coffee done and turning his attention to her.

"You never showed at the culture festival... I dressed as Yunos, it was really cool. Seifer was Mordred and we matched... And then everything went downhill. The next day, I was just really groggy and Sera had been chatting with me all day. Mostly talking my ear into a doze. I vaguely remember sitting down against a wall in the regional hall and then memory lapses. Everywhere. I would wake up in the park for no reason, and then go home... Then I would wake up again in the hospital, sitting in a chair talking to a man the size of a behemoth. And then... I was IN the hospital. In bed. I knew you and everyone were busy, I mean." He sipped his coffee, feeling bad. Guilty maybe.

"You seemed so busy, not responding before anyways, I thought honestly that you just were more concerned with the invasion. It wasn't until the severity of my condition escalated, er, my inner organs had partly dissipated and I was stuck internally bleeding out in bed." He stared at the floor, giving Yukino a moment or two to put her head around all of it.

"Then I woke up. Last night I just, well, woke up. I didn't know I was dead until Sera told me and explained everything. I thought I just fell asleep again until I heard you yelling at me to wake up. I thought I just overslept again until it came to my realization that Ahmes was attacking me. Weird, eh?"

Haruka bit his lower lip, finally raising his eyes to Yukino, looking at her expression, maybe an answer to this?
