It's a good thing that Chizuru regularly comes out to the beach - just to make sure that no one from her world turned up. It's something that hasn't happened for months and months already, sure, but she still keeps a faint hope alive in her heart, alongside the worry of maybe this time someone showing up and her not being there for them.

Of course it's not a new squid she finds. The time most new people show up has already passed, after all. No, instead there's a sight on the beach that seems.. more strange from a distance. Something grey, and gooey. At first she wonders if it's maybe something that washed up from the sea, but then Chizuru realises there's a person in it.

.. and then she realises she knows that person. Someone she hasn't seen in a few days now.

Chizuru gasps, and then rushes over to the gooey substance as quickly as her legs can carry her.

"Hey..!" She calls out, hoping to catch the collapsed form's attention. Is Nara'a alright? Did he get hurt..? "A-Are you okay?!"
