Restoration Book 3: Matsuri's Fate

(3rd/Final installment of the Restoration series in Matsuri's POV.)
After finding her beaten, bloody, and unable to speak, Gaara's change in behavior takes Matsuri off-guard. He begins facing his fears of vulnerability and physical contact. All she can think about is if he'll stick around when the apocalypse ends. She should've focused on whether she'd be there to find out.
