As she woke up, Lilia stared absentmindedly at the ceiling for a bit before slowly getting up. After stretching, she got off her bed. Looking around, she was relieved to see color everywhere.
I wonder if Sakura is still all alone in that dark world...
[L] Sakura?
[S] Yea?
[L] Um If you are alright with , I can beco your conversation partner so reach out to anyti, even at night.
Lilia waited for Sakuras response but only silence ca back. As Lilia tilted her head, wondering what was wrong, Sakura replied uneasily.
[S] Sorry, your sentints alone are enough for .
[L] Why? It must be boring all alone.
[S] No no, just watching you is interesting enough Ahh, dont worry about it.
[L] I heard you clearly, you know? Really now
Lilia thought about letting herself go at her, but after seeing that place she couldnt bring herself to speak so strongly. Instead, Lilia sighed, pulled herself together, and continued.
[L] Whats your reason why? Is there sothing there?
[S] Um well Lilia, how is your bodys condition?
What is she talking about all of a sudden, Lilia thought, furrowing her eyebrows, and then finally, she realized.It cant be, Lilia thought.
[L] Now that you ntion it, it has been a bit tough but it cant be
[S] Yea, sorry. Its my fault.
Without realizing, Lilias eyes widened and Sakura, seeing that, spoke again with a somber voice.
[S] Sorry. For not ntioning it earlier.
[L] I dont really mind but what does this an?
[S] Umm yea Im not too well-inford about it but... You might be thinking that Im doing all sorts of things while you sleep but its not that. If I had to say, its like although your body is resting, your heart is still working. Of course, since your body is resting your stamina is recovering though. But, your heart thats always working hard cant exactly recover. Bit by bit, it becos exhausted and in the end
[L] In the end, what?
[S] Sorry. I dont know.
Lilias face stiffened slightly.Weve co so far now but this is what it cos to huh, Lilia thought.Basically, we dont know whats the final risk.That was the conclusion Lilia ca to.
[L] Alright then.
[S] Huh?
[L] Up until this point, I have been in your care. I can allow you to cause so inconveniences.
[S] Lilia
Sakuras voice started trembling. With a bitter smile, Lilia stood up.
[L] Dont cry at sothing like this. If you ever get lonely, call out to anyti.
[S] Okay Thanks, Lilia.
Hearing Sakuras voice overco with emotion, Lilia began to feel embarrassed. As she cleared her throat in a seemingly forced way,Its ti to go now, Lilia thought, and headed towards the door.
[S] So hey, once a week, one hour before each day off. Hows that?
Lilia stopped, her hand placed on the doorknob. After confirming Sakura was done speaking, she let out a soft sigh.
[L] I dont mind if its longer you know.
[S] Its more than enough with that. You too, Lilia, if it ever gets tough tell anyti.
[L] Yes. I know. Sakura, you too, speak freely to anyti.
[S] Yeah Im happy. Thanks so much Lilia.
It was unusual to receive these heart-filled words of gratitude from Sakura. Feeling embarrassed, Lilias cheeks began to redden but she couldnt hide it from Sakura so instead, she laughed sarcastically to cover it up.
As she opened the door, she found Tina and Chris sitting across each other at the table. Naturally, she was surprised at the unusual combination but she was even more surprised at the two of them cheerfully laughing together.
Alisa, who noticed Lilia first, bowed respectfully. Without responding to Alisas greeting, Lilia stared at the two sitting at the table and spoke.
Lilia let out a soft sigh and headed towards the two. As she headed over, they noticed Lilia and imdiately stood up.
The one who asked was Tina. Lilia shook her head with a smile.

This is like a Lilia-like way of showing affection. Probably.
