Early in the morning the sun rays gently illuminated the room through the shutter blinds where Chito and Yuuri were sleeping. Chito slept tightly most of the night when she felt that someone was nudging her and trying to wake her up.

"Chii-chan - Chii-chan, wake up! Where are we?

Opening her eyes she found a pair of confused blue eyes looking back at her. Unsure if she was still dreaming, Chito gently brushed her eyes. After all this time Chito felt that she would never see those two beautiful blue eyes ever again. Yuuri with genuine confusion in her eyes kept staring at Chito, feeling refreshed as she had just woken up after a long nap.

Chito couldn't stop crying as she jumped into her hugging her so tightly that she never wanted to let go of her ever again in her life.

"Yuuriiii!!!" Chito could barely articulate any words as she kept weeping in her chest. "Please... tell me - you are - awake..."

"Chii-chan... What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Yuuri was unable to understand where on earth she was. Her memory was a complete blank on how she found herself in this mysterious room, she still couldn't recall that day outside the wall, everything seemed blurry to her. For some reason, she couldn't get out of her bed, as she felt weak with persistent pain in her leg.

"Please, Yuuri... don't ever leave me alone again..." Chito kept crying loudly in her arms. "I...I... thought I would never hear your voice again... I thought you would never wake up... please, I don't want to spend a single moment without you again... Please... Yuu..."

"Chii-chan, no... please don't cry... you are not dreaming I am here..." she was still puzzled and scanned the room. This was unlike any room she had seen before in her life, the walls were covered in white plaster, and on the left of her bed, there was a window with shutters. She had no idea why in her left arm there was a strange tube attached leading up to a bag filled with some kind of liquid. "But what happened? Where are we Chii-chan?" she asked.

"Oh, my sweetheart... I don't know how to tell you..." Chito slowly tried to get her composure, as she cried into Yuuri's chest. "You were in a coma... after we reached the wall... I am so sorry..."

"Chii-chan... what's a coma?" Yuuri asked again, while Chito embraced her tightly.

"It's when you sleep for a long time... you slept for one month and... I was here right next to you waiting... for you to wake up almost every day... I couldn't leave your side and... I - I kept calling and talking to you every night - sleeping next to you... hoping you would wake up..."

"But Chii-chan, why didn't you wake me up?"

"It's really difficult - it's not like you can wake up easily from a coma - I spoke to you every day, but... you weren't waking up, but... I am so happy you are here with me again...Yuu... please never leave me again..." she leaned up and kissed her cheeks. Chito waited for what felt like an eternity for this moment to see her conscious again, she had so much to tell her about their new home and their new family.

"Chii-chan..." Yuuri replied and blushed deeply. "I'm sorry... I must have been very tired that I slept for a whole month. And look how long my hair has grown." she smiled running her hand through her long blonde hair.

"But Chii-chan... how was I alive all this time?"

"Do you see that tube that runs in your arm?" Chito pointed towards Yuuri's arm where something that looked like a tube was attached to her "They told me that it's called an IV infusion, I also had it for some time after I woke up because I was also fragile. It's supposed to provide something like liquid food for your body and keep you alive and strong while you are in a coma. And you are not supposed to pull it out or touch it."
