At midnight, the small town hospital was extremely quiet.
The sound of people's footsteps and chatters outside the ward gradually lessened as time went by. The visitors had long gone home together with the hospital staff who clocked out, leaving the ones on the night shift.
Yuina remained to stay at Ryuu's bedside until her limbs felt stiff. She refused Riku's invitation to lie on the long couch together. She let the tired assistant dominate the entire couch for herself.
While Riku was already sleeping deeply, Yuina was wide awake. It was hard for her to close her eyes for a second even though her body had slowly reached its limit.
Ryuu had yet to regain consciousness. He was still lying in the same position, motionless. The doctors and nurses came in rounds to check on his condition.
November 30th: So, unlike this month, it seems like I won't be able to publish any updates until I get my year-end workload sorted out in December. I've been thinking that the quality of the recent chapters isn't good since I'm in a rush. Usually, I'd re-read the chapters and the next to make sure I didn't mess with the storyline but I don't have the time to do it since last week.
I'll come back soon! I hope that it would be so soon :3 Stay safe everyone!
