Ugh... my head....
I slowly open my eyes only to shut them tightly when the world spins around me like a blender. Moaning, I shift my head little and feel something under me.
"Ah! Yuki, you're awake!"
I hear a soft but relieved voice call out my name somewhere above me. Struggling to open my eyes, the spinning finally stops and I find myself facing Sarah's half-concerned, half-relieved face.

The secondary signature ability is a passive skill that gives me more freedom in movement as well as a couple of fairly weak (at this time) special abilities. Even so, this will give me a better chance at holding off
