"I..." She started before looking around.

"....... I'm just lost." She told him, her voice sounding normal, as he would normally expect from her.

"You finally deciding to try and get away from her?" She asked bluntly.

"Not sure why else we'd be here." She added as she got to her feet, a bit unsteady but overall ok, and looked around.

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

She was completely silent before looking to him, and stepping back.

"... how the hell can I know I can trust you?" She asked.

"for all I know you're doing this because of her." She added after a few seconds.

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

She was silent for a moment, watching him intently.

"Come with me." She said simply.

"While no, I don't know if you are one I can entirely trust for the moment," she continued, "I do, however, know that if I can find freedom in there, so can you. And the one that can grant you some is easily contactable within there anyway."

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

She was silent, looking around.

"I...." She started before sighing - heavily.

"I admit, I only know of this place. I don't know where the hell the entrance even is." She admitted.

She woke with a start, a throbbing pain echoing through her head. Looking around, she realised that she was in her dorm, but didn't pause to think about that. She just climbed out of bed and left the dorm. She didn't even bother worrying about shoes, or what she usually kept tied around her head.

She found herself with an unexpected, and probably unintnetional, clarity, and she found that she knew exactly what it was that she'd just gone through. However, she realised that she probably wouldn't be in the best of shapes for a bit, but she knew that she had to share this information while she still could.

She made her way through the halls and up to the head office of the building. Once there, she knocked on the door, hoping he was still in, but honestly not sure if he was or not.

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

Hazel made her way in, and didn't even react to seeing him, properly seeing him. He could see the pain on her face, and in her eyes, but it didn't seem like she was properly registering it.

"Is Anya ok?" She asked after a moment or two.

"Because I know that what came at me, came from her." She added, not properly realising that it could very easily be taken as to say that Anya had brough something that could very well be an infecton or something into the building.

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

Hazel was silent for a moment, thinking about that.

".... very possibly." She answered honestly.

"To those that associate with her." she added.

"What... her and Jake aren't in good shapes because of what has attached itself to her."

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

Hazel was silent before shaking her head.

"That's the thing, I ... don't know what it is." She told him simply.

"It's the same shadow that I saw cause azazel to be in the state he was in when I took him down to the medwing a bit ago." She added. She wasn't aware of how he didn't know what it was.

"I don't know what it is, but it's literally nothing more than a shadow Pure blackness."

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

"The..." Hazel started, seeming to strain to think of something, anything.

"I dont'..." She tried to continue before letting out a cry and bringing her hands to her head.

"I don't know! I'm useless! I'm sorry!" She exclaimed suddenly, seeming.... almost seeming to snap back to how she was when he first met her.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry i'm sorry i'msorry'msorry'msorry" It quickly devolved into a quick repetition though.

Whatever happened to put her in the state she'd been in before had seemed to break a few walls on the way out, or something.

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

Hazel didn't seem to react, but it didn't take too terribly long before he realised something.

She was crying. Not sobbing or anything, but he could hear the breaths.

And he could also telly from the slight tremble, she was scared. Chances were that at this point, whatever damn had broken had let a lot of bottled fears and whatnot from when she was still with that bitch of an elf, out.

Hal also knew her, and knew her well.

She did have times well this came up, but it was never to this degree.

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

Hazel didn't say anything, didn't know what she could say, what she could do.

They stepped into the entryway after finding it, and looked to the front desk.

".... no one's there." She said quietly, looking around to try and find whomever was meant to be working there. She knew that they'd have no hope for getting in if there wasn't anyone to let them in.
