[Getting up is a struggle - he was so cozy! And Min nuzzled into his neck, that was so sweet! But, they need to. They can't just live in cosmic pocket space forever.

At least Min's there to give him a hand, and once Ryan has that hand again he keeps it, lacing their fingers. Apparently he's starting to get the hand of his powers too, since a doorway just appeared out of nowhere.

It doesn't sound like anything bad is happening on the other side. Ryan can't hear all that well but no one seems to be screaming about a robot or anything.

Yep. Ready!

[And together, hand in hand, they walk through the wormhole Min's made.

On the other side it's striking how it both does and doesn't feel like the same time of day. The moon is still out just like it's been for days, and the glow returns to Ryan's veins gradually, but...there are fewer people on the street, and the nearby stores seem to be closed. They definitely look a little out of place with their shopping bags.

Second most importantly, the Steward seems to be gone, as is the portal that it came from. All is quiet.

Most importantly, after just five seconds to process everything else. Tomo appears at their feet in a sudden poof of smoke, stamps their feet on the cobblestones, and SQUEAKS IN ANGER. Even Ryan is taken by surprise and nearly jumps out of his own damn skin.

Tomo? What the fuck?! Don't do that!

[Tomo is not listening. Instead they've gone right up to Min, standing up on two feet and papping him on leg a couple times. Let them up, right now! Pap, pap, pap!]
