"Connect Life"

Haruo stirred and his eyes open up as he wakes up in the remote safe-house area hut, His eyes struggled to open...Yet he still got them too.

As he does, He saw one of the Houtua twins comes on his right side and into his focus as she appears beside him.

"Ngh...The other time...In order to receive treatment, My suit...Has been removed."

He remembers a few days back when he had woken up with a golden powder on his skin, He remembered the smoothness of it.

"Miana should have already known...How to unlock my flight suit,...Since she did it once before?..."

He comes back to the present and focuses on the girl.

"Are you... Maina?..."

"Mm."

Maina responds as she sits backward to give him a few feet of space, Haruo rolls onto his side, Props an arm against the ground and pushed to sit himself up.

"I see...So it was you then."

He said it as he was fully upright.

She looks at his eyes and looking right back at hers.

She placed an arm behind her head, Then hesitated.

She exhales and places another hand behind her head to untie the knot to he breast-covering cloth.

She looks away from Sakaki as she does this.

He raises an eyebrow, Remembering the events with Miana earlier that same day.

He was definitely surprised to be in a similar situation.

After removing her chest covers, She works on removing her lower clothes, fofirstith the waist cloth, the lower body bandages, and then her sandals.

After a moment passes, She reaches out her hand and places it upon his clothed pecks.

She keeps it there for a while and feeling his chest rise and fall with each breath he took.

Then, She leans in and scoots closer to him and presses her body against his left side, Laying her head on him.

"But why did you?—..."

Maina began to speak and confess her feelings for him.

"Because, scared......Maybe you...Might lose...Like disappear..."

Maina paused.

"Scared..."

Maina closes her eyes, Squeezes them shut and as Haruo placed his hand on her arm of her shoulder as Maina continues.

"You must to-win...And we can connect life."

Haruo reciprocates and agrees with Maina's request.

"I see..."

With Haruo's understandings, Haruo wraps both arms around Maina and hugely embraces her as close as he possibly can.

"Well, I'm...scared too."

She puts her hands on his back and does the same to hugely embraces him back.

She can never shared this closeness with anyone...It made her feel... special.

Haruo and Maina stay in a tight embracement for several minutes, Listening to each other breathe.

Then, Maina moves Haruo's arms away and places them on his chest again.

"Can Haruo...Remove?..."

She asks.

With that request, Haruo began obliges and lifted his tank top, Boots, and his lower flight suit, Leaving him in his undergarment.
