Rumi sat up with a gasp. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to slow her quick breathing. When she opened them again, she yanked the covers from her legs and slipped off and away from the bed. She cast a lingering glance at her door, considering going to Zoey or Mira about the nightmare, but ultimately deciding against it. They needed their rest.

Instead, she opened up the glass door on her right and stepped outside. The cool night air hit her face as she shut the door behind her. Leaning against the railing, she gazed out over the beautiful city, glowing with many lights. If she couldn't go to her best friends for comfort, who could she go to?

An image of Jinu's tiger and magpie came to mind. They were the perfect ones to help her! She straightened up, went back inside, made sure no one was watching, and left down the elevator in search of Derpy and Sussie. After ten minutes of searching, the task started feeling impossible. She reached a last roof and fell to her knees.

That's when they arrived.

Derpy curled up behind her so she could lean back. Rumi twisted to wrap her arms around the tiger's neck and buried her face into his soft fur. Sussie nestled into her downed wavy hair. She fell asleep again like that, surrounded by the comfort she had searched for that had found her instead.

_If only Jinu was here to experience it with her._
