Yuma stares out the window, eyes glistening with tears. I can't look at him anymore. Those small stumps where there should be legs unnerve me. The ugly scar on his forehead fills me with sorrow.

I wish I had told him to stay at home 2 months ago.

I float down in from of Yuma. He looks right through me. Can he see me? Or does he just not want to?

I wish I knew.

"Yuma, please hear me." I whisper, a tight feeling engulfing my chest. Why must Yuma be like this? He has lost his Kattobingu.

I wish I knew how to help him.

I look at Yuma, and an idea pops into my head. I float so we are level. I stare at his unseeing eyes, and press my lips against his. Well, not really, but I place them where they would go if I could touch him.

I hope this works.

Yuma's eyes grow wide, and I can see the life returning to them. I quickly pull away, and cross my arms, floating just overhead.

I hope he says it.

I can see him stirring inside, waking up. He opens his mouth, and his sister, who is sitting next to him, snores quietly.

"Kattobingu." Akari wakes up and stares at Yuma.

"Yuma?" The 13-year-old looks at Akari, then smiles.

"Kattobingu!" Akari hugs Yuma, and I am glad that I could help him.

"Thank you, Astral. I don't know what you did, but it worked." Yuma looks up at me.

"You're welcome."

I'm glad Yuma's all better.
