[ Nightmares are a relatively new thing for Youko, and for that they're all the more frightening. Having company at night had helped a great deal, but still - they persist. On Monday night Youko awakens from one such nightmare, and it occurs to her once she's stopped shaking:
Shouldn't Logan be back by now?
Murders were only supposed to happen Thursday. That was the way it was. But it figured, didn't it? They'd grown complacent, the pattern was going to break eventually - but maybe there was still time. Youko's up and running out of the room before she has time to second guess herself. Not even the shadow's aura can do that - she assumes it's her own senses, telling her where to go, where the danger is, and she's so, so, so terrified but she has to make it time, she can't lose Logan-
...
Youko's world doesn't collapse when she reaches the foyer.
...
That happens when she's gripping his body, attempting frantically to do something she's never tried before but she should be able to do back home, she should, she should, she should be able to spare him some of her life energy if it isn't too late, just to kickstart his heart, she should she should sheshouldsheshouldshe---
...
But she can't.
...
That's when Youko starts screaming and doesn't stop. ]
