You were woken up by Mina's hair covering you're mouth and choked a little startling her into an upright position too quickly for her liking.

"Sorry! Sorry Mina are you okay?" You asked as she winced from the sudden movement.
"Fine little one I promise" she replied lovingly.

You grabbed Mina a pain killer and a glass of water like the previous morning and sat with her whilst she took it because she liked having you there.

Helping her up you grabbed ahold of her cane passing it to her as she stood up in her black night dress and accompanied you to the bathroom where you planned on taking a bath. After all Mina's room was the only one that had a bath the rest only had showers.

You started to turn the hot water on as Mina walked in to brush her teeth. "Do you mind if I maybe have a bath?" You asked shyly having never used it before.
"Why would I mind? There's bubble bath if you like it?" She said and smiled at you.

You felt slightly embarrassed and asked where the bubble bath was unsurprised when it was in a purple bottle with the scent being lavender. Another thing you learned about Mina was that purple was definitely her favourite colour. You poured some of the bath soap in and watched as the bubbles climbed upon each other looking like the most comfortable pillow. Mina looked away as you undressed because she knew you were still self conscious which you were grateful for. After taking off you're gown you got into the tub and felt the warm water in your skin and almost cried because you missed the simple things in life.

As you sniffled at the thought Wilhemina heard you and turned around walking towards you. "Y/N what's wrong?" She asked brushing you're hair out of you're face. "I don't know I guess I just missed being able to do this. Have a bath I mean." You replied in such a way that made Mina angry that you both couldn't leave and have a normal life.

"I know what you mean... I was lucky, when I was appointed the head of this outpost I could make any rules I wanted no questions asked. I'm glad I didn't do anything differently otherwise we may not have met. But similarly I wish I had done everything differently."
She looked at you with despair knowing life would never return to normal.

"I know what you mean" you said the light returning to your eyes again. You let Mina run you're hair back and this was the closest you had truly been to eachother.

As you slid under the water you allowed it to fill you're hair and nourish it once more. You felt a hand grab you're shoulder and you were pulled out from under the waters and you saw you're Mother. "Mum?" You asked not expecting this. "Hello Y/N" she said with a smile. As she smiled her expression changed she stumbled away from the tub and fire coming out of her mouth her body starting burn and cremate to ashes as she screamed piercing your ears right into your soul.

Panicked you sat up and gasped for air as you came up from under the water. "Y/N???" Mina said. "You've been under the Water for ages what happened?" She asked looking at you're fearful face.

You had imagined seeing you're mother and told Mina about it not wanting to weird her out or anything. "Y/N how often do you see this kind of stuff?" She asked concerned for your mental health at the very least. "Never, I've never had this thought before" you said to the angel before you a few tears escaping your eyes as the image ironically burned itself into your memory. "I'm so sorry little one" Mina said as she planted a kiss in your forehead to make you feel better.

Once you're hair was washed and you had shaved which is something you truly had enjoyed as you didn't have to stand the whole time you got out of the tub and wrapped the ivory white towel around your chest and brushed your hair once dry into a lovely plait. Mina watched you do so gracefully admiring you're every movement wondering what you were to do next.
