She was standing there, in front of the mirror, staring at her abdomen in shock.

Her scar was reopened in many parts

She thought about what she did a few hours ago, when she carried the children on her shoulders and ran. It was natural that the scar was affected.

She didn't listened to Ray. She didn't listened to Yuugo, to any of those who told her not to strain her body too much.

That was why they said it.

Not because they wanted to underestimate her. But to avoid that accident.

She felt completely stupid

That was why her head was spinning in the library. Who knows how long she had strained her body but she felt no pain.

Tears of disappointment fell from her face. Disappointment for herself, The game feeling that everyone would feel for her, followed by a huge worry she didn't deserve to receive.

She fell to her knees, but her eyes were still there, stuck on the wound that drop by drop slowly favored the escape of that red liquid.

She heard a knock.

<Emma. I'm done with Yuugo. >
<R ... ray??>

She jumped up as she buttoned his shirt and wiped the drops of blood on the floor.
also put the sweater on top so that the stains were not conspicuous

<Emma can I come in? Is everything okay?>
<Y ... YEAH. COME IN>

the boy slowly opened the door and his eyes looked around to meet his best friend's.

He entered the room and closed the door behind him.

<is everything alright emma?>
<YEAH. I'm fine I'm fine. How did it go with yuugo?>

<it went well. We have planned the expedition. We will leave tomorrow. Yuugo has chosen you as a third support, he thought you would like to get some fresh air>

<O MY GOD YES> Emma's eyes sparkled.

She could finally make herself useful and finally get out of the shelter ,have some action.

Ray saw her face light up and smiled at her.

<we have to leave early. So if you prefer to rest, we postpone our game until tomorrow>
<oh nope. This time I feel it will win. I don't intend to give up, Ray !!>

The two sat in Emma's bed, facing each other and began to play.

A few moves were enough and the result was decisive.
Another win for ray. As always

<told you. With you it's too easy>
<it's not fair !!! Today was the right time. How do you always win!?>

Emma lay down
<Hahahahaha> the raven took the board with the pieces and placed them on the ground near the bed

<Emma do you want to know the secret to always winning?>

She jumped up near him, still sitting in the bed on her lap
<tell meeee>
<strategy>
<What?>

<if you want to win you must have a strategy. And it doesn't just apply to chess. It applies to everything>
<mmmm I think I'll have to try harder then> Emma was a little disappointed by the answer, she expected more.

She lay down resting her head between the boy's legs, who gasped a bit

<one day I will definitely beat you ray>
<challenge accepted> began stroking her hair in her forehead <you will succeed when you learn to predict my moves>

<predict?>

<it is very important when playing chess. In this way you can understand the moves that the opponent will make and you can - Emma ???>

The girl fell sound asleep ignoring Ray's last words.

"It doesn't matter. Tomorrow a great day awaits us" these were his last thoughts and immediately he too abandoned himself to his fatigue
