Hm?
Hmm?
Hmmm?!
W-what? Why?
Out of nowhere, this was!
"Thank you for saving grandma..." She thanked me while tightening her grip around me.
... This was warm, good, fine, and awesome, and I didn't want to think too deeply about this one hug.
"I-it's ok, Rein. Don't worry. She is fine now." However, my voice was still skeptical.
She didn't let go, and I could feel this sudden hesitation and fear that has surfaced from herself.
This was different from anything I had seen from her.
This hesitation, this fear of what she would do after losing someone close to her… I can understand everything.
It was her mistake, or what she believed was her mistake, that her grandma, a person she might have loved dearly, was in this condition.
Things might definitely have been bad but, they weren't.
"It's okay, Rein. I won't like to see you like this when it's all fine. Look, your grandma will wake up now.
