Chapter 14: Treatment. (1/2)
Inside of a dark, hollow and empty space, Gray could be seen chasing after a silhouette. It was the only figure of light in this abyss in which he found himself.
The voice called out to him, ”Brother...”.
While trying to catch up with her, he found that no matter how hard he cried out her name, the voice would not escape his mouth.
'Ria…! Ria!'

”RIA!” Gray sprung up, yelling out as he did so.
In that moment, a jolt of pain ripped through his body, causing him to wince as an unpleasant groan escaped his throat. ”Argh…”
The bright blue sky and fresh breeze welcomed him as his whole body ached and his eyes opened wide. Although his feet were cold and he was sitting on hard, cold ground, he felt better than he ever had before.
As he had yet to receive any treatment, it was unexpected, but how was he feeling so well? Upon looking down, he found the answer to his question.
His top was off, and he had bandages covering the cuts and wounds on his back, ribs, and arms. It appeared that all of Gray's wounds had closed up as his itching and stinging had ceased.
Even his fever had gone. He felt a lot better than he did before.
With himself in this position, he could only come to one conclusion.
Beside him was the girl, tucked into a ball and fast asleep. Her beauty captivated him for a few moments.
A strand of pink hair glistens over her smooth, clear lips. The sun shone down on her as if it were providing warmth for its child.
Gray couldn't help but face palm himself, for he had thought she looked like an angel.
'Angel? She tried killing me.'
Gray let her off before because he did not have the energy to fight her, but he still did not trust her. In an effort to see whether they were at a truce, he offered her a fizzy cola. He paid her no attention because her reactions showed that she was no longer hostile.
It was as simple as that. Or so he convinced himself.
He had actually found himself in her. He had been shaken to his core by the look in her eyes. For the first time in his life, he had actually thought. 'This person might be able to understand me.'
Although he had a blanket covering him, she hadn't covered herself, this is, of course, because there was only one blanket. As he pulled the blanket down and placed it over her, he sighed.
It was probably due to the cold that her arms were trembling, so she had also tucked herself into a ball to get warm.
