Fate could feel the ocean surrounding her. She knew the sensation of falling helplessly all too well.

She felt small, yet strong arms wrap around her tightly. But Fate did not open her eyes.

She felt those strong, warm arms gently lower her to the ground. Fate still did not open her eyes.

"Fate-chan," she heard a voice softly call to her. Fate-chan, I'm so sorry. Are you all right?"

Fate opened her eyes, and saw deep blue eyes, filled with sincere gentleness and concern.

She looked away.
