April 10th, 2010, Frank knew things had become complicated between him and Saya, but he thought those times were over. Frank heard the shower turn off, the silence indicating that Saya was drying off. He heard the door open and the small steps of her bare feet walking across the floor.

"Um…Saya, are you done?"

Saya came out in a red baggy t-shirt and some shorts, as she took a seat next to Frank on the couch once more, continuing where they left off.

"Thanks, I really needed a cold shower. So Frank, what's been going on?"

Frank was quiet, Saya spoke up again.

"Frank, please"

"I got fired from my job"

Frank blurted out what was on his mind.

"What?"

"They fired me, they um, they said I had been slacking off and harassing other employees, even though that's not true"

Saya couldn't believe it, she had always hated the place Frank worked at, but now she truly had a reason to despise it.

"You never needed that place"

"But I needed the money"

"I'll help you out"

"Saya no"

"Frank, it's okay, it's just until you get back on your feet"

Frank didn't want to trouble Saya any further, but he couldn't lose his apartment either, so he reluctantly agreed. Frank started to think about what had been keeping him awake, it wasn't just the stress of losing his job.

Saya noticed something was off on the side of Frank's head, she brushed his hair aside and saw stitches that were somewhat healed, somehow she had missed it.

"What happened to you?"

"I fell down the stairs at work, I, oh god…"

"Frank, it's okay, you're under a lot of stress. Just tell me what happened"

"I was at work…I fell down some stairs and hit my head, I was in the hospital for two days"

"You were in the hospital!?" When did this happen!? Why didn't you tell me!?"

"I didn't wanna worry you"

"Frank…"

"Shortly after that, I was fired. They gave me a months salary and said they thought it was in my best interest to go elsewhere to prevent further harm to myself"

"That's horrible"

"What is wrong with me? I can hardly sleep anymore. Ever since then I've been getting headaches, having nightmares. I'm afraid to be alone in my own apartment, I'm afraid to close my eyes"

Frank started to break down, everything was going badly for him, even mentally. Saya hugged Frank as she gently rocked him back and forth, rubbing his head softly and calming him down.

"I'm sorry…"

"You have nothing to be sorry for Frank, you just need some rest"

"But I'm afraid to go to sleep"

"Then let me help you. I'll stay here to help you feel safe, and watch over you, so you can get some well-deserved sleep. Now come on, let's get you into bed"

"Saya I don't wanna burden you anymore"

"Frank, it's okay, come on"

Saya helped Frank up from the couch and guided him towards his room, he was clearly too tired to argue as he crawled into bed. Saya sat on the edge of Frank's bed right next to him as he laid down on his side facing away from her, she gently rubbed his back while quietly talking to him.

"That's it, rest. I know you've been having trouble sleeping, but it's okay, you can take a nap; I'm not going anywhere"

Frank felt relaxed as he curled up into bed and closed his eyes, finally drifting off to sleep.

"When you wake up, we'll talk about everything"

Saya cooed and shushed Frank until he peacefully fell asleep.
