She smiled at the peaceful look that her nephew had on while sleeping. Kissing him on the cheek, she brushed his dark brown hair as she tucked him in. With that, she walked out of the room and closed the door quietly behind her. Moving on to the next room, she opened the door slightly. Se sighed and shook her head. Inside, her daughter was still awake and on her bed, playing with her toys.
Opening the door, she walked in. "Rosalynn Clyne Athha. What do you think you are doing? Are you not supposed to be in bed hours ago?" she asked, exaggerating the time a bit. She put on a stern look as her daughter looked up at her, shoving the toys aside.
"I could not sleep. Besides, I was waiting for you to come," her daughter argued, smiling cheekily. She sighed and shook her head again. She knew she could not resist the sweet smile that her daughter had. Motioning for her daughter to scoot, she sat on the side of the bed. The moment she was seated, her daughter moved into her arms.
She laid her head on her daughter's soft golden hair as she rocked both of them back and forth.
'Open your heart
To eternal dimension
Open your heart
For love and affection
Open your heart
Your every emotion
Open your heart
For tears and rejection
Come to the grace
Of heaven's eternal fantasy
Come to the grace
Of earthly devoted harmony'
She began to sing softly. Finally, she felt her daughter's body grew limp and knew that she had fallen asleep. She smiled as she placed her daughter back on the bed, tucking her in. Brushing her golden bangs aside, she gazed at her daughter. Finally, she snuggled beside her daughter and closed her eyes.
He looked around the corridor, completely lost. He sighed. God, the Athha residence was like a maze. Turning a corner, he came to new corridor. He looked around while walking, trying to find his way down. He looked to his left and saw a light coming through a door slightly opened. Curious, he walked up the door. Peeping through the gap, he saw Cagalli asleep on a bed fully clothed. Silently walking into the room, he saw her arms were wrapped around a small girl whose hair were the exact same color as hers.
As he looked on, he could hear his heart beating furiously. With quick movements, he walked out of the room. With no knowledge of where he was going, he found himself walking aimlessly. Seeing a door in front, he opened it only to find himself face to face with Shinn.
