⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀❝ Why am I always so hot, or so cold.
⠀⠀I feel like if it's not freezing I'm already half-undressed before I even close my door behind me.
⠀⠀. . . I really hope no one saw. ❞

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀❝ Getting ready in the morning takes so long now . . .
⠀⠀It feels like an impossible task until I've showered and eaten.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It's no fair, I used to sometimes just sleep in my work clothes and call that good-enough. ❞

⠀⠀"What kind of things do you think I'm trying to get?"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀, The lightly wet girl asks with a bit of a grin, mostly just out of curiosity.
Presumably, they'd be here for a minute, anyway.

@MysticOnsen ⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀"You're really kind, Mister Aiko, I appreciate it.
So . . . Should we just hide under the overpass until the rain stops?
⠀⠀Will you be okay?"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀,Ao was a bit hesitant, Aiko was a bit older than her, she surely didn't know how well His health held up

@OOKMAMI ⠀
⠀⠀"Huh? Across the world?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀(. . . Surely she misspoke.)
Yeah, I can stay over for tonight."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀, Her regular accommodating inflection didn't falter.

⠀⠀"Well as long as I have someone as kind as you to help me . . .
. . . I feel like I'll manage~"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀,Ao follows her with a big bright expression, The woman had been such a guiding light through all this. Su, forgetting what they were here for.

“It’s only natural given your situation. It’ll probably happen for years! Or maybe not. Who knows!”
The door was shut and locked behind the two. The pinkette slips by and into the living room.
“Come now, bath time~.”
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀She really didn't expect that, especially from someone higher up on the ladder than her . . .
. . . But she would be grateful.
⠀⠀If she's knocking it's gonna take a minute though, she's not got her balance right now sinuses and all.
⠀
That's why she was already in front of her door, knocking on it as she waited for a response. She brought some medication and something to eat with her in case she needed something.
⠀
⠀⠀"Yeah it just feels like I'm catching up on a lot of those problems all at once."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀,Su seemed a little disheartened to admit it, but in-truth, if it were anyone else, she wouldn't be comfortable enough to admit things like that in the first place.
