The Sorrowful Maiden

Ah...

[The revelation, Asakim being alive... this is too much for Setsuko. She feels exhausted and worn out, physically and mentally. She really needs rest, but first - a pick me up. There was a candy bar stashed away exactly for times like these.]


...

[It's dropped to the floor after a single bite. And Setsuko is scurrying the place in search for something, anything edible to put in her mouth. But regardless what she finds, it all feels the same...]

It tastes like... nothing.

I can't taste it.

What's going on? The Sphere, awakened? What does that mean?

What has happened to me?

Thanks. I really appreciate it. I just...

I don't want to be alone now. Not while, I don't know what, is happening.

[majestic_keiki]

I understand. I don't think anybody would want to be alone with that.

[star_of_sad]

Just knowing that I have people who are here for me... it matters a lot, really.

It actually makes you stronger, in a way. Ah, I'm just talking to ease off the stress... please forgive me if I'm not making sense.

[majestic_keiki]

You are. And even if you weren't, I still wouldn't just leave you.
