"Argh . . ." Ryu groaned, and his eyelids fluttered. The first thing he saw was Seraphina's beautiful flustered face parched against his chest.
"Y-you're alright!" Seraphina croaked, and she flung into Ryu's arms. "I was so worried! You were on the brink of death when I woke up, and you've been sleeping for so long!"
Ryu blinked. And before he knew it, he hugged Seraphina back in a tight embrace. It was great that she was alive. He thought that he was too late and lost her too.
Seraphina was surprised when Ryu returned her affection for the first time. His shoulders shook slightly while he buried his face deeper into her bosom. A soft blush bloomed on her face, and she gently rubbed Ryu's hair while a slight smile lighted her face.
"I'm glad that you're okay too."
Ryu closed his eyes for a moment, feeling Seraphina's warmth. He couldn't believe that he had made it. That he defeated that monster. That they were still alive.
