Cause you are loved. You are loved more than you know.

I hereby pledge all of my days to prove it so.

Though your heart is far too young to realize

the imaginable light you hold inside ❞ — Sleeping At Last


Up. Up..Up in the clouds

The Mitzouan doesn't know how many hours she has been sleeping.

Somehow it's felt like years. It felt strangely amazing to be dreaming to forget her problems.

Aya wished they can stay up there; however, she must come down to face reality.

Everyone has to....

Until the day she wakes up, she wasn't in her room nor at her house.

In a flash, she scans the perimeter, sitting an upright position, as she trying to process the situation she's stuck in.

Did I sleep for the whole day? Or ...

Her heart began to panic out of control, eyes water with tears and both hands cover her mouth of the fear that she is captured and finally discovered.

They found me. They're going to torture me...They're going to use my father as hostage for me to tell the truth!

"Papa..papa?" Aya pulls the covers away from her body. She wobbles across the room, but a hammering headache began to surge. Her hands grasp to her scalp; she winces of the feeling of her skull splitting in two.

"Papa, where -" The ringing in ears made it unbearable as well. Nonetheless, she walked to the door, and slide it open. Aya slams herself to the side at a wall out the hallway .

What's going happened to me? Where is papa? Did they get him? Did they really get him? No.

Her bare feet ran. All she wanted is to escape, escape with her father.

The youthful brunette falls in a thud to a wooden polished floor, and underneath her breath, she says:
"I must leave. I must leave. I must leave. I need to get out here. Help. Help me. Please help me. Somebody..."

Delicate fingers began to curl, pushing herself up to sprint.

"Aya - san?" Futami stops as she is coming straight towards him, staggering. "Are you al —"

*SHOVE*

Brute force.

Hagoromo's advisor was shellshocked of her strength; he leaned his entire form against on the polished palisade for the fear he might fall through. His dumbfounded gaze followed her till she's out of sight.

"PAPA!" The youthful brunette yelled. She didn't even notice she wore a new kimono nightgown: beige colored long sleeves with string tied around her bosom since the long rosewood shade cloth made up the dress.
Cherry blossom petals are dyed onto the fabric along with a white-black spotted koi fish and a black-white spotted koi fish symbolizing the yin yang.

Saki is sweeping at the gathering room by herself; loud steps came down the staircase that made her take a look who it was due to her curiosity.

Baffled, words choke on her throat, and she gasped when Aya tripped.
