Shizuru stepped into the room, her eyes fell on the silhouette of the woman who lay on the bed.
Stepping across, her body felt weak, she hadn't even the strength to take off her shoes and lab coat.
Whimpering silently, she rested her back against the bed. Alone.
"Sh...zru..."
Sleepily, Natsuki stirred in her sleep.
"Shhh..sleep...sweetheart..." hushing her, Shizuru crawled into bed...but continued to cry.
Natsuki had woke up at this point, and secretly watched the woman shaking in front of her.
"I love you...Shizuru...please don't cry."
Placing a hand onto the younger woman's face, she began to cry even more.
"Oh Natsuki! You are too strong...you wouldn't believe what I read tonight!"
