I pace in worry across the hallway, feeling that twisted anxiety acting up not for the first time today
Truthfully, I am quite worried for Senpai
Anybody can tell that he has been under some duress for the last few days. Senpai barely sleeps in his room anymore. Sometime it would feel as though he is about to keel over during the middle of the mission
Kiyohime and the other two stalkers are quite worried for his health, stating that they can heard sobbing and screaming from him in his sleep on an almost daily basis
It was as though he is having a nightmare. A nightmare to which none of us Servants can do anything about.
The situation only worsen, much to our worry
___________
A scream tore through the night, sendings a jolt of fright through her.
Unlike last time, Chaldea is now prepared. Lights went on almost instantaneously as everyone, Servant and human alike, rushed toward one particular room
The door crashed open. In the moonlight reflected through his window, the convulsing form of one Fujimaru Ritsuka could be seen. His eyes were opened wide, only showing the white of his eyes dancing around madly in their sockets
"Hold him down, lest he injure himself!" There was Nightingale firmly ordering Chaldea's medical staff, two of them pinning the teenage boy down by his arms on either side of the bed "Has DaVinci arrived yet?"
"No, Ma'am. She said she'll be here soon"
She has to get out of here. His agonized scream is nerve wrecking to hear, no matter the amount of times she and the others were forced to bear with it
Almost every night. With twice the intensity as last time. At first they thought it was a simple nightmare, then they grew worried and started speculating the cause to be insomnia
Before they knew it, disaser has struck
"What's happening to Mommy, Mash?"
She looked at the girl's face. Servant Assassin, Jack the Ripper has that look of worry as she approached her. Her child-like feature is in contrast with the grim expressions on the killer's face
Mashu forced herself to make a smile-- One that came out a bit too shaky, mich to her displeasure
"He's fine. Senpai's just...a little ill is all"
Another scream echoed from the room as more staff rushed in with specialized pieces of equipment. The door slammed shut moments later, leaving her and the other Servants waiting outside with the feelling of dread coursing through them
However, a melodic sound coming from a single Servant is in contrast with the dark atmosphere. A childish humming, almost akin to a Latin hymn greeted her ears
Abigail was standing with her back facing the door
She could not see the girl's expression at that moment
But somehow, Mash was sure the Foreigner is smiling behind her back
____________
Today, he didn't wake up
Our connection to his dream has suddenly been blocked, and even Merlin, specialize in dream magic as an Incubus, does not know what is is that caused Master to fell ill. This sent everyone around us to a frenzy unlike anything seen before
It needs not to be mentioned that every Servants here are in someway uneasy.
Some have already display signs of aggression as time goes on, while other sank into petrified silence the more they spent not being in his presence
Servants shared a special bond with their Masters. One that was forged through battles and special circumstances
A killer. A mass murderer. A tyrant. Even a divine god. No matter who or what you are, Senpai has always been by us. Naturally, we should be by his side too.
It's not only because of the burden he carry on his shoulder as the Master, but also because of Senpai's will being eroded away as they could feel it through their connection, that everyone is slowly expresing frustration over this predicament
The Ritsuka Fujimaru they know and love is losing sleep to the point of near death, and there's nothing that they, legendary figures of mythical status in man's history, can do about it
At this point, we will be unable to respond in time should an emergency occur. Humanity will then be doomed if the Singularities are not fixed in time
I can't do anything about it, and it's tearing me up from the inside
There has to be a way to fix this.
If only Abigail would stop being so damn silent...
