Ugh.... my head hurts.

Your body ached from the encounter you had. Your eyes slowly opened to be met with a familiar sight. You were back in your room, but it was a bit different.

You looked down at your body to see the bandages all around you. You reached your weak hand up to feel your head again, but you winced from the pain. A large bandage has been wrapped around your head.

Your eyesight blurred in and out. Maybe I'll just sleep a little longer...

You were aware of your surroundings again. The clinking of something beside your ear had woken you. You felt hands unwrap a bandage around your stomach. It stung badly.

Groaning, you pushed the hand away from your stomach, but the hand persisted.

You open your eyes again to face the boy that had gotten into this mess with you. He avoided your eyes as he continued to refresh your bandages. His hands were shaking, like he was scared or something.

You grabbed the hand that was tying back your bandage. "Haru?" You questioned, hoping the boy would look back at you. He didn't.

He just shook your hand off gently so as to not hurt you and finished tying up the bandage.

He slowly got up from beside the bed and was moving towards the curtain door, leaving all the medical stuff.

"W-wait!" You called out and the boy stopped, not looking back at you. "Please.. come back."

Haru just looked down at the ground. "ıɬ ῳơųƖɖ ცɛ ცɛɬɬɛr ʄơr ყơų ıʄ ყơų ʂɬơ℘ ɧąŋɠıŋɠ ąrơųŋɖ ɱɛ. ı'ɱ ɬɧɛ ơŋɛ ῳɧơ ɧųrɬ ყơų ąʄɬɛr ąƖƖ."

You didn't quite catch his words, but let him leave. You couldn't go after him in your state. You just would have to talk to him later.

You looked down to the bandage on your stomach. You lightly traced the spots that Haru had touched. Why was he shaking? Does he think this is his fault?

You suddenly heard the curtain being pulled back by a certain maid.

"(Y/N)! Oh thank gods! Haru told me that you woke up! I'm so glad you are finally awake!" Yula cheered and rushed over to hug you. You winced and bit your lip.

"Yula... that.. hurts." You huffed out and she released you upon request.

She laughed in apology. "Oh.. sorry! Anyways, I'm here to tend to the rest of your bandages. Haru said he wasn't feeling well so I thought I'd take over." She smiled and picked up a few things.

"Oh.." You muttered, looking at the window. You stared out at the ocean that swayed gently. The blue entranced you and pulled you into a daze.

"(Y/N)? Are you listening to me?"

"Wha? Oh, what did you say?" You asked, pulling your gaze away from the gentle sea, back to the girl in front of you.

"I was asking what hurts in particular." She said, picking up a few medicines. "I don't know how these will affect you because our body is quite different than yours. I might water these down, because I think they will affect you more." She muttered, grabbing the water and medicine and mixing them together in a little stone bowl.

"My head." You answered with no doubt. It was definitely the most pain you were experiencing.

"Alright." She responded, getting to work on unwrapping the bandages, cleansing your head wounds, and wrapping fresh bandages around. It was quiet for a little bit before Yula spoke again.
