Inhaling deeply, Rex realized he hadn't had any coffee for nearly 24 hours. "Wow... I hate to use a cliche but I have seen my life flash before my eyes twice within 20 minutes."<br/><br/>Shaking his head, "One of those times, it was totally in reverse... the other, thankfully, in forward time."<br/><br/>Out of habit, he sped himself to fill his coffee cup. But nope, no longer, that ability was happily gone.<br/><br/>"I won't be able to sneak up on you any more", he said, tweaking Aoi's nose.<br/><br/>Hearing the splashes, he looked over towards the crazy guy in the tub... wondering what it was about this strange shop that seemed to attract the most peculiar beings. "For the love of God, man... use some bubble bath!", he jokingly yelled out, laughing.<br/><br/>"Thank you, Aoi", he said, surprised at the rush of emotions inside in such a suddenly strangely silly moment. "You have saved my life, and for that and many other reasons", taking her hands in his, pressing against his heart, "my life is now yours."
