If it were not for her honor, he would not have needed to make the trek alone back to their master's stables. If it were not for her weakness, she wouldn't have found herself sided against him...
And the last words she had given him, the only person in her life who had ever supported her, who she had ever trusted, echo like curses in her head, Do not fail as I did, Yubari.
And yet she is the one awake, alive, and he sleeps there like the dead, and her apologies stick in her throat and come out only as sobs of sound she could never have let out in their own world. She could never tolerate such shame, the very idea of it being known-
But then there is a motion in the corner of her eye... and she turns. Freezes, for a single instance.]
