Alex heard a knock on his door a day later and went to check it. When he did, he saw Fang Yuxie standing outside.

"Oh, so you're still here. I was sure you had left me," she said.

"No, just checking," she said. "So, have you made any plans where to go?"

"No, I told you I have no idea what to do. So I'll be following you," she said.

"That, and the fact that you are quite special for some reason," she said with a mysterious smile on her face.
