Breathing [Himiko]
*******************
She remembers Yamato teaching her to breathe.
"In a way, it's like being born all over again; you have to learn to do it properly"--those are his words, which she carries with her even today, two years later. Even in a roomful of poison gas, finding breathable air isn't difficult.
In, out. In, out. The same, but still so different--and years later she still has some trouble maintaining it if she loses her calm.
Her professionalism is so important to her because otherwise, she inhales wrong and finds herself threatened with drowning in a sea of clean air.
