"Mimin!"
Oh no, what's happening to her? Just a few minutes ago, she was completely fine. But now, she's sweating so much from her head! In almost no time, the pillow is already soaked from her sweat, and her head is burning hot right now.
Her hands started trembling as well. It's like she's afraid, or nervous about something. But, she's still sleeping, and still unable to respond to my voice. I don't know what to do in a situation like this!
What does this mean? I really want to call for Maria, so that she can help. But at the same time, I don't want to leave Mimin alone when she's like this. Is she sick? But, it seems so sudden and random, that I'm not really sure. What should I do?
"Wait..."
Ah! She's talking! Finally, Mimin is starting to talk now! She's sleep talking, but it's better than not talking at all. Does this mean she's going to wake up?
"Mimin, can you hear me? I'm going to call for Maria, so please hang in there for just a moment!"
"Wait!"
Eh? What's wrong? Is she still sleep talking, or is she already awake? I can't tell from her response there.
"Mimin, can you hear me?"
"Don't go..."
It's not good. Her eyes are still shut tightly, and tears are starting to form now. It doesn't seem like she's actually awake yet. In any case, Maria will definitely be able to save Mimin. I have to go now!
"Don't leave me alone... Not again..."
"Woah! Mimin, let me go!"
Suddenly, she reaches out one of her hands, still shaking, and pulls on my dress, pulling me towards her. For some reason, I can't escape from her grip! I can't get Maria here when I'm caught like this!
"Please!"
Is she having a nightmare? That's my last guess for Mimin's current situation, but I don't know. She's all sweaty and shaking so badly, this looks like when I wake up from a nightmare myself. Except I don't talk like Mimin's doing right now.
"Come back... Ow!"
As she said that, her eyes shot open, and she starts to blink, while still lying down on the bed. Her tears went away as quickly as they formed, and she puts her other hand, which isn't grabbing my dress, on her head.
"My head... Hurts..."
"Mimin... You're finally back!"
Although Mimin looks like she's just got soaked in the rain, I still hug her tightly. It's been way too long, that she's unconscious for, that I just...
"I'm so glad... You're awake now! I was so worried!"
"Kh! My head hurts, so much... Mina?"
"You're finally awake! You've kept me worried about you for so long..."
"...What happened? Was I... dreaming?"
Mimin's body... She's so warm right now, and her dress is completely wet. Her current body temperature is probably comparable to when I had a fever. Why is she burning hot? It's making me feel like I'm hugging a heater or something...
She just woke up, so from her response, I'm very certain that she was definitely having a bad dream. It looks difficult for her, so I want to accompany her if I can help.
"It's okay now, Mimin. I'm here to help."
"..."
Mimin just became silent for some reason. Did I say something wrong, or should I not have said anything at all...?
Mimin, stop pushing me away! You're acting really strange right now, you know that? You're not using a lot of strength to push me away, so I'll keep hugging you. I refuse to let go this quickly!
"Please, Mina. I want to be alone."
"Eh? What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm fine, so please leave me alone for a while."
"You're clearly not fine, Mimin!"
Although she's already stopped sweating and her body temperature is returning to normal, I just want to stay with her. I still don't understand what she's thinking, though.
"I simply had a bad dream. It's not that bad."
"When you say that, of course I can't leave you alone!"
"Just go away, Mina."
"I refuse!"
For some reason, Mimin really doesn't want me to stay around and help her. Now, she puts strength into her hands and push me away from her. Some tears start to form in her eyes again, as well.
"Mina, can't you leave me alone for just a moment?"
"No, I can't!"
"Why are you being so stubborn!?"
"Well... Because you're feeling sad, aren't you?"
As I said that, Mimin starts to break down and cry again. But, what should I do in this situation? I don't know how to stop her from crying... Maybe I should try to comfort her by hugging her and talking to her?
"There, there. Everything is fine now, Mimin."
"Mina..."
Finally, she wraps her hands around me and hugs me gently. I still don't know what she's thinking at all, but it seems like she's finally stopped trying to push me away. Her tears are starting to make a mess of my hair, but I don't really mind.
Like this, I continue to hug her, and wait for her to recover.
