[ Monika followed her. She was noticeably slower than usual, but at least she was able to walk. And being outside for the first time in days... That felt really nice. In the middle of the town square, at last she could feel truly safe. Now that they were away from that accursed place, she finally felt like she was saved.
All thanks to Minako. But at what price had it come? ]
Yeah, it's... [She looked up at her girlfriend, unsure what word to choose.] It's going to take a bit, I think...
[ A good night sleep, a shower, a meal and lots of comforts ought to do the trick. She had gone through worse before, much worse. Yet somehow, this had felt nearly as bad. Mayhaps because she had finally known happiness, and getting it all taken away from her so abruptly had felt unbelievably cruel.
But of course, there also was something else. Should she even mention it? It wasn't like she judged Minako or felt any differently towards her because of it. No, she was just afraid for her. Afraid the same things that had turned her into a monster were growing in the other girl's heart. She didn't deserve that. ]
I'm sorry. [She couldn't help it. And once again, she averted her eyes.] I-I don't... I don't want you to lose yourself because of me...
[ Because, it really was her fault. Minako would never have had to do that if she hadn't had to rescue Monika. If only she was stronger and the pillar of strength Minako needed... She closed her eyes and looked down, tears threatening to return. Gosh, could you get any more pathetic? ]
