Gianna's POV:

Abyss hasn't been leaving me alone since we left the medical wing. He's making it difficult physically and emotionally for me to stay away and be independent.

I love when he takes care of me. It makes me feel warm inside, and loved.

I know he's doing it because he feels obligated but sometimes it's nice to pretend.

He's silly. My leg isn't broken but he insists on carrying me everywhere. Leaving me to feel so safe in his arms at all times.

Our creature history professor canceled class for the rest of the semester, and the school has had a heavy weight In the air since the accident.

Students' bodies were sent home to their families and we held a ceremony for them as well.

Tomorrow starts our break between semesters. It's only two weeks long but it'll be nice for the school to mourn and process with their families.

Today I have been cuddled up in bed thinking about what I should do tomorrow. I'm anxious. Mama said not to come home but I've been doing well at school and I had so much to tell her. Maybe she'll take me in for just two weeks.

But maybe not. I'll be even more useless than before, my movement is still limited due to my injury. And I spent the little bit of money I earned from working for like three days.

Maybe I should have tried harder to get a job. Mama would be so disappointed.

I feel tears well in my eyes as I think of  how I'm such a disappointment. It didn't work. How could I be so foolish? Mama might need money.

After all, she didn't have my income any more.

Oh god I hope she's okay. I have to go home! Even if it's just to check in on her. She's my mama after all! My best friend!

Now I just need to figure out how to get there- I'm pretty sure taking a hover sphere costs money, which I don't have.

It's way too far to walk or run. I wouldn't even make it there within my two week span.

What's a transportation that's quick, and free?

Abyss!

Wait no. I can't ask him. I'm supposed to not be a bother and taking me is definitely a bother.

"Hello- little girl? What are you thinking so hard about?" Abyss catches my eyes now.

I jump in shock for a moment, not knowing he's back, and he came right when I was thinking about him? Weird.

Maybe I have some super power! Hehe. 'Think of ice cream!'

I look around and find none which causes a pout to form. But I do spot a confused Abyss. Oh right!
