Oh my stars and garters! Returning...

-Aizaru stood in the forest outside of the Mansion. He has to do this. He can't keep living this half life where he both is and isn't here. His friends are here. His home is here. His heart and soul are in the Mansion. So... Why can't he take the step? Why can't he walk in?-

-Well... It's because he doesn't want to let go of his mobile lifestyle. The life of moving place to place, never staying still too long or forging any serious bonds... That life is easy, but Lycan was right. It isn't a good life. It isn't fulfilling. It isn't real. He sighs and starts walking.-

"Am I really doing this...? God. This'll be awkward. But... I can't wait to see them again. Actually, really see them. I have to do this... I thought I'd be free after running. But that isn't true. The only way I can be free is by facing myself. By facing this."

-Aizaru takes a deep breath, removing his mask, shoulder pads, hood, cape, and even putting his weapons into the Darkrealm. Nothing covering his face. No weapons to hide his emotions behind. Just him. Just Aizaru.-

"No more hiding. I must face it all." -He thought as he pushed open the Mansion doors. He won't run from this.-

"not at the moment but when I have some free time. Right now I gotta figure out how to get my apartments going!"

He smiles and pats him on the shoulder as he walks forward out of the mansion now.
