It's late at night, I prepare some coffee and sweets. Going down the hall towards Minna's room I hear yelling.

Minna - ' Don't you dare fly anymore, it was only because of Ashley you dint get hurt, what if the backup shield failed to work when you need it! '

Sakamoto - ' I have to fly, it's my duty. '

I then see Sakamoto leave the room, we are face to face. I give her a wry smile.

Ashley - ' I see you two had a disagreement. The shield will work. You don't have to worry. '

She smiles at me and walks by me. She seemed so sad and mad at the same time. I should make a nice cup of tea for her later. When was the last time I flew? I guess I'm a magical house wife now. I knock on the open door to Minna's room. I see her slumped over crying. She looks up to me.

Minna - ' Leave, I want to be alone right now. '

Her voice sounds so weak, her eyes wet and lonely. I can't leave her like that. I put the tray with the coffee on the table to the side and walk over to Minna. She draws her gun and aims it at me.

Minna - ' Leave! '

I continue walking towards her. Her hands are shaking more and more with each step I take. Her other hand starts twitching like she wants to throw a punch. I look directly into her eyes and continue walking forward. I now stand infront of her, I reach out to the gun to remove it from  her grasp and it goes off. I feel the bullet go into my stomach, I use all my will power to make it seem like she missed, using my magic holding all my blood in me. She looks shocked that she actually pulled the trigger. She throws the gun to the side and jumps into a hug for me. She starts bawling. Footsteps quickly approach Minna's room.  The first to arrive is Sakamoto, then Shirley, then Barkhorn and Eila show up at the same time. Im tightly holding on to Minna. I look towards the others.

Ashley - ' Its fine, accidental discharge. I'll handle the rest, get some sleep all of you. '

Slowly they all funnel out of the room only Sakamoto and Eila stay both giving me a concerned look.

Ashley - ' she didn't hit me, it's okay. Ill take care of her. '

Sakamoto reluctantly leaves but Eila is still staring at me. She eventually leaves too. Not before mouthing to me  " Liar  " .

The rest of the night I stay awake comforting Minna as she eventually falls asleep. I keep an eye on her as I slowly clean the room in pain. With everything calmed down and mental strength weaking, my control over the magic I'm using starts to fade and my  shirt starts to get blood on it. Ahh, this  is not good. I feel my back to see if there is an exit wound but there isn't,  double bad. I look to the hole in my shirt, the wound look like it away from any important internal organs. I couldn't say for sure I'm not a doctor or a surgeon in the case I need currently. If i dont bleed out then Minna will kill me for not taking care of myself then kill herself for causing it. I need to get some herbs to help calm her down. Some jasmine tea should work. Minna loves strong tasting food though.

Early morning comes around I hear a knock on the door, the Door opens and Eila is standing there, she has a first aid kit. She walk over to me and point to the chair in the room. Her face is clearly angry. I move to the chair slowly and sit down with great difficulty.  I her her sigh before opening the box.

Eila - ' You're reckless, you know that. With everything you made you can sit in the back and make improvements to units and make new things, but you're here on the front line. You hardly fly when you do you go off on your own and lose yourself. We all know that you skip sleep sometimes to help us, to make sure our units are working properly,  you make sure everything is in order. You even wake up so early that Sanya is still out and just started coming back. You've been here for so long we all figured out how you work. Last night me and Sakamoto were talking, maybe its best if you went to the Britannia, you're more safe there. '

As she walk talking I felt her push tweezers inside my wound to pull the buller out. I use magic to nb the pain as she does it. Hearing that everyone knew everything already made me feel weird, but when she said that I shoudl go back to Britannia I felt a cold feeling wash over me. Leave them all behind, my friends? No my family, I will not leave them.

I hear her sigh again. I look towards her.

Eila - ' Sakamoto and I both figured you would resist going to Britannia, so we decided you will learn to control your familiar more so you won't lose yourself. Ah right Miyafuji will be in the infirmary adter breakfast waiting for you, if you don't show up, I tell Minna. '

I don't  know what more scary how easily everyone seen through me last night or how Minna would react if she found out that I didn't go see Yoshika. Both fill me with fear. Knowing Eila when we disband she will tell Minna. Maybe I should visit the 502nd. Im pretty sure Air Marshal Galland knows that I was able to make old witches able to fight again. I could cash a favor in to avoid Minna so she can calm down a bit.

Ashley - ' Ill go see Yoshika after breakfast. '

Eila - ' Good. Sakamoto wanted to talk to you too. She will talk to you after you see Yoshika. '

Eila finishes up a short term patch job on me. Then cleans everything up. She holds out  a new shirt for me.

Eila - ' The one you're wearing is bloody, so take this one. '

I grab the shirt shes offering and change, I see her slightly like her lips as I take my shirt off. Her eyes glued to me. A crazy idea comes to me.

Ashley - ' Eila, its too hard to put a shirt on with the pain could you do it for me? '

I whined out, her face slowly gets flushed as she realizes that im playing with her. She grabs the shirt and roughly tugs it down over me.

She then leaves the room with an angry huff, closing the door behind her. The sound of the door closing loudly stirs Minna awake.
