She's going to go take a shower in the hospital bathroom and then get in the fresh clothes and then if he's still there she supposes he's not worse than an Uber driver in any important way.

He is and is happy to drive her home.

She does not make conversation.

That's fine by him, he's just here to make sure she doesn't have to find her own way home after what really sounds like it was a grueling hospital stay.

She thanks him by rote and lets herself into her house.

It will take her kind of a while to make any motions in the direction of contacting either Lucien or Lia.

Well, Lia is sort of busy guiding, then sleeping, then going to another dungeon.

But Lucien will eventually reach out to her.

Hey, dad told me you made it home okay.

👍

Let me know if you need anything.

probably eventually I will decompress enough to want to test out my esper powers but not today

K.

Not the next day either.

That's very reasonable. Lucien is up to do things the next but this turns out to just mean he hangs out with his parents and tries to get Lia to slow down with dungeons.

This is how she is coping and she can guide with other people so he can have a break but she's not going to stop until everything feels better.

if you have any questions about what the fuck was up with any of that which I might have the answers to now is an okay time

Oh.
I guess I am mostly concerned about how you are doing? I don't know, awakenings are usually rough but I figure you had less context on that than most and also yours was unusually bad.

I've been reading up on them now that I can do that

Anything interesting? Or helpful?

It's nice to have more context.

Yeah.
Is there anything I can explain about awakenings or what happened during your awakening in particular?

I can remember it all. I'm not really clear on why you approached it how you did but I assume it was stressful and stuff and you couldn't assume anything I told you was legit.

Yeah I was mostly trying to figure out how to manage you getting guiding without crossing any boundaries I shouldn't. 
(Heads up that I'm burnt out on blaming myself for things about your awakening. If I come off as not caring about mistakes I made that's why.)

Probably doesn't make sense to posmortem it in much detail. It'll never happen again if my second trigger's worth its salt.

I think it improved the dimension hopping power too.

Oh cool, any idea how?

I think I know which direction and how far away home is. So I'm going to be going soon.
