"Well, it happens sometimes I guess~ Just don't make it a habit. And yeah, it does make sense for Bermuda Triangle to be talkative righttt? I hope you had fun on the school camping trip anyway, wish I could have been there."

Just talking to Hana made things better though, and it felt manageable. Perhaps things would work out after all, and everything would be resolved. Having a 'normal' life suddenly again would be weird in a way, after about a year of this. Brushing aside these thoughts, she looked at Hana again, smiling.

"Make sure you have fun as well whilst you are out okay? And if it's someone I know, tell them I said Hi!"

Miyuki woke up to the smell of eggs. "Hmm?" she thought, confused for a second. Then she saw Hana sitting next to her at a table, with food set out. She was slightly surprised by this, but it was nice. She stretched and sat up, feeling slightly better then she had yesterday. Moving over to the table, she sat down next to Hana.

"Hiii Hana~ Good morning."

After hearing what Hana had to say, Miyuki was silent for a bit, letting it all register. Mixed feelings rose up in her, a small bit of anger, but mostly guilt. This was her fault in a way, and she felt a wave of frustration at the cause of her illness. If only that hadn't happened... Brushing those thoughts aside, she moved over to Hana, and held her close.

"I-it's ok Hana, I mean, I've been sick for awhile now, and particularly the last week or so have barely been awake. You must have felt very lonely, and I'm sorry for that. Without you being here for me, I probably would have given up a long time ago. So really, thank you for all that you have done for me. I love you still, no matter what, and that will not change. So don't cry, it's all alright now."

She couldn't guarantee that it'd be fine, in fact her illness would quite possible keep on getting worse. But right then she didn't really care, she just wanted to ensure that Hana wasn't sad.

"In short, I forgive you, there is no way I couldn't. I'm sad that you cheated on me, however it's my fault for being sick, and you've stopped it right? So it's fine, really."

With that she shifted herself slightly, then leaned over to Hana again, and gently kissed her. As long as Hana was happy, it'd be fine.

Miyuki's vision flashed, and again she saw that scene again. The voice, calling out to her, the flashing red and black. She'd seen this countless times over the last year, with no way to escape it. No escape, no path to freedom, just pain. Pain that coursed through her, bringing her to the verge of screaming. Despite the number of times this had happened, she still wasn't used to it.

All she could do was hide it. All she could do was attempt to stop people from worrying about her. "I-I can't let Hana worry more about me... I can't let the nurses notice." That thought kept her from breaking down. She tried to get up, but pain flared through her body again. Gritting her teeth, she kept herself from yelling out, barely. "If I can't even do this much, then I have no right to be looked after by Hana." Drilling the thought into her head, she tried to drift off to sleep, ignoring the tears flowing down her face.

Eventually, the pain passed, like it usually did, and she was left trembling. "How much more of this can I take?" she wondered. With the pain gone, she was able to fall into a restless sleep. For now, the secret was safe.
