A Tale of Two Feathers

the seeds of uncertainty, final

Nao walked inside the room.

It had bright colors, the most notable being the color of green.

A small bed was on the corner of the room next to a metal wheelchair.
Hana was lying down on the bed, resting.

"Sorry for intruding," he remarked.

She shook her head. "It's okay."
Hana tried her best to sit.

Her face had sorrow written all over it,
yet at the same time,
it contained peace.

"Let me help you."

Nao put down his bag and assisted her.

He held her slender back as she tried to adjust herself on the headrest.

He could feel her breath on the side of his shoulders.

"I'm sorry, I probably smell like sweat--"
As he was about to speak with her,
she put her arms over his body.

"Thanks for coming."

He couldn't see her face,
but his had a bright tint of red.

Nevertheless, he thought that he had to comfort her.
He hugged her back.

"...There, there."

After a while, she let him go.

"You know, Nao..."

He stood up firmly and looked at her.

"Hm?"

"You do smell like sweat."
Hana said, with a smug look on her face.

"I... I know..."

Hello, and good day! ^^

Sorry for my absence these past few months. I was having so much problems lately, and that includes my writer's block. There was also the issue of me drowning (not literally) in schoolworks! But hey, I'm (finally) back! (and done with high school life! :D)

How did you all like this chapter? There were some very interesting moments in this chapter, I'm sure! Although, I'm still having difficulties with the description of some of the events happening. (maybe because i have to keep track of my word count? haha)

New developments occur and some feelings bloom...

I guess that is how I could summarize this chapter.

Looks like the next chapter will be very eventful! I hope you'll stay tuned for the next chapters!
