Ch. 5: Change (MOON)
After Forma rescued me, he helped me walk as we returned to the castle.
I wondered if the toxin that had stolen away my consciousness was still in my system, because me head still felt fuzzy.
Forma: "Are you alright?"
Forma’s worried expression seemed kind of severe…
OO: "Forma, what about you? You’re still not doing well are you."
Forma: "…"
OO: "Forma?"
Forma: "I’m sorry…it’s because of me that you were put in a perilous situation."
OO: "It’s fine, and you saved me."
Saying so, I smiled at Forma. He gave me a troubled smile in return.
At that time…
OO: "…!"
The strength suddenly went out of my legs and I collapsed to the ground.
Forma: "OO! Just as I thought…"
Forma supported my lower back, and we made it back without me collapsing again.
Forma: "It’s my fault…"
OO: "Eh…?"
Forma: "If I’m being honest, I know it would be best for you to not be near me…but..."
OO: "…Forma?"
Forma: "…"
He seemed to be speaking to himself, then he looked at me through his glasses…
Forma: "OO…"
His expression seemed as if he had decided on something, and he focused on me.
Forma: "…come back to my room."
OO: "…alright."
Bringing me along, Forma and I headed towards his room.
