25. Breaking Away
Nagi stopped in the middle of her tutoring session to peer over her booklet. Poor Tsunayoshi had fallen asleep. It was saddening to see him so worn out. Life must've been so challenging for him now. She wasn't sure if he would ever adjust to the loss of his leg strength.
Stepping away from the desk, she pulled his wheelchair beside his bed. With the upmost care, she moved him onto the bed and covered him up. Idly, she placed her hand beneath his and marveled how large and enclosing his hands were compared to hers. Peering at his sleeping face, she couldn't stop the blush that formed as she saw how peaceful his normally handsome face was.
Collecting herself, she pulled away from him, "Sweet dreams, Tsunayoshi-kun."
