The Beginning
At first, her mother had tried to find the positives in it.
"Think of it as a long vacation." she said, neatly arranging a bouquet of fresh flowers next to Shiki's new "bed." "You can do all the designing and sewing you want while you recover!"
Shiki just nodded, her hands polishing her glasses.
A frown came over Mrs. Misaki's face. She turned away and continued on trying to point out all the "pros" that came with staying in a hospital.
"You can watch all the TV you want!"
"…Mm…."
"You can catch up on your manga! I know how long you've been waiting for the newest release!"
"…Yeah…."
"You can catch up on your summer homework too! Haven't you been complaining about not having enough time for it? Now you have all the time in the world!"
That comment caused Shiki to freeze in her glasses cleaning. Her fingers shook as she pressed the thin cloth over the lens and she felt a sinking sensation gurgle in the bottom of her stomach.
Seeing her daughter's still form, Mrs. Misaki quickly rushed over and hugged Shiki.
"I-I mean!" she stuttered. "You won't be in here too long! In about a month or so you'll be back on your feet and heading to school like everyone else!"
The soft fabric of her mother's blouse and her lavender perfume calmed Shiki's once panicked state. She relaxed as she felt her mother's arms tighten around her.
"We'll get through this Shiki." Mrs. Misaki whispered. "I promise."
And Shiki had believed her.

Hello everyone in the TWEWY community! Have you noticed the lack of Ne-Shiki vibes of lately? To remedy this, I have decided to begin a drabble fic! (of maybe 25, 50, 100 drabbles?) I was originally NOT going to post this, but decided to!
Starting off the bat, meet our heroine Shiki Misaki! (Who has been checked into a hospital due to an illness)
