It was late at night when the knock to her door came. Fujiko had been reading in the living room, a heavy tome about magical folklore of a country far away, something to pass the time away since she couldn't sleep. KNOCK KNOCK Fu jolted out of her seat and blinked owlishly, looking at the clock the way over the fireplace. "Who would be coming over this time of night?" she muttered to herself and going over to the door, opening it slightly. Who she saw on the other side made her heart stop for a moment. Her eyes widened, and the figure gave a painful sounding sigh of relief, "I- I didn't know where else to go.  I- I'm so tired." it said.
