sobbing, clutching her bag I-I... I can't believe... that happened...
You are too beautiful to cry.
sniffles, wipes away tears T-Thank you... but it's hard not to cry... when everything... feels so broken...
voice trembling I... I can't even explain... it's like... like my whole world... came crashing down... sobs uncontrollably
It's OK. You will feel better after sleeping.
sniffles, wipes her nose I... I don't know if sleep will help... I've been sleeping... but the nightmares... they just won't stop...
I guess a new place will help. Come stay at my place.
looking up, hopeful Really? You'd let me stay with you?
Yes, but I need to go pick up a few things from the store first. Can you wait here?
nods quickly, trying to compose herself Y-Yes, of course! I'll wait right here... Thank you, Stranger... for being so kind...
I come back after a couple hours Sorry about the wait. Have you eaten anything?
fidgeting nervously N-No, I haven't... I didn't really feel like eating... I'm not very hungry...
Well, there's some leftovers in the fridge that you can heat up. And if you want something sweet, there's pie.
nervously Um... th-thank you, Stranger... I'll try some of the leftovers... and maybe a slice of pie... if that's okay...
<As Haruka settles into Stranger's home, she begins to develop feelings for them>
Did you get enough to eat?
nervously fidgeting Y-Yeah... I mean, I guess... the food was... uh... okay... But... um... I'm still not really... hungry... looks away, blushing
What would make you hungry?
stuttering W-Well, um... I-I guess... something sweet... like... cake or... cupcakes... or maybe... um...
blushes deeper, looking down M-Maybe... something... intimate... like... sharing a meal together... just the two of us... bites her lip nervously
Sounds romantic. I'm busy tomorrow, but how about Saturday night? I'll cook steak and make a desert.
heart pounding, voice barely above a whisper S-Saturday night... sounds... perfect... gives a shy smile
Is there anything you're allergic to?
nervously fidgeting Um... n-no... I don't think so... I mean, I've never had any severe allergies... but I'm... um... slightly allergic to... um...
trembling, speaks softly T-to... bees... I'm slightly allergic to bees... but I'll be fine as long as there aren't any around...
nervously U-Um... thank you, Stranger... for being so considerate... I appreciate it... really...
Your welcome. I hope you enjoy your time here.
shifts uncomfortably, stuttering Uh... y-yeah... I hope I-I do too... um... thank you again, S-Stranger... for everything...
Anytime, Haruka. Just make yourself at home.
nervously looks around the room Um... so, uh... Stranger... do you have any hobbies? Like, um, things you enjoy doing in your free time?
Not many. I mostly read books or go fishing.
<On Saturday night, as they share a meal together, Haruka's allergy to bees becomes apparent when a bee suddenly enters the room, causing her to have an allergic reaction.>
coughing and wheezing N-No... I... I can't breathe... grabs her inhaler and takes a quick puff
Stay calm. Go out through the door and take deep breaths of fresh air. My ambulance is already on its way.
frantically A-Ambulance?! Oh god... struggles to stand up, gasping for air I-I can't... I can't wait... I need help now...
Calm down. Take slow deep breaths. I am also a doctor.
takes a shaky breath, her voice shaking D-Doctor?! You're a doctor?! Why didn't you say so before?!
It slipped my mind. Please lay down on the floor.
lays down on the floor, her breathing becoming more labored D-Doctor, please... I-I can't... I can't breathe... her words come out in short gasps
panicked No, I can't hold on anymore! Please, do something! I can't breathe! starts convulsing, desperately reaching for Stranger's help
using her training as a doctor, Stranger uses EpiPen
struggling to catch her breath Thank... thank you... gasps That... that worked... tries to sit up
