Eventually, most people had either left the hospital, or fallen asleep. At one point, Kyo and Hanajima were the only ones awake. There was a long silence between them, both lost in their own thoughts.

"So, what happened?" Hanajima asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"Between you and Tohru. What happened?" She looked at him expectantly.

"That—" Kyo blushed furiously. "We just—"

Hanajima smiled. "I see."

"Hey… Hanajima… did you… tell her anything?" Kyo asked hesitantly.

"Now it's my turn to ask you what you mean."

"Well… I mean… Before, Tohru seemed to be… rejecting me. I don't know if she had feelings for me, but she just seemed in denial, like she didn't want to find out, even if she did. Do you know what I'm saying?" Kyo turned away from Hanajima to look out a window. The sun was rising.

"I know what you mean. I… might have said something…" She also looked towards the sunset that was in front of them.

(Flashback)

"Tohru! I'm so happy you're okay!" Uotani sobbed as she hugged Tohru.

"Yes. I am equally delighted." Hanajima gave Tohru her best smile.

"Thank you so much!" Tohru was crying too now.

"Tohru?"

"Yes?" Tohru looked towards Hanajima.

"You know what you have to do. Your waves tell me… that you are in love, am I right?"

Tohru was quiet.

Hanajima looked at her sympathetically. "You know your mother wouldn't care if you fell in love. She never asked you to love only her. She would be happier, if you had someone to care for. You are not betraying anyone by loving Kyo."

"Hana-chan! I don't know what to do!" Cried and put her face into her hands.

"Tohru…" Hanajima put her arms around her. "Do what your mother always told you to. Just be yourself. Be true to your feelings and your heart."

They don't remember how or why, but soon, they were all hugging eachother and crying.

(End Flashback)

"Yes, I did tell her something." Hanajima concluded. "Something that made her stop feeling like she was betraying her mother by loving you."

Kyo was quiet as he came to realize the real reason for Tohru's hesitation. Kyoko… He finally spoke in a soft voice. "What… What did you tell her?"

"I told her to just be herself."
