Chapter 23

Now that I'm getting near to El, I'm noticing her swollen eyes. I can't hold her as she has a fever. I'm in double pain because I can't help her and I want to take care of her, but I can't because if I do, I'll suffer as well, yet when I'm the one who needs care, she doesn't hesitate to provide for all of my needs.

Despite the pain I caused her, she did not change her attitude toward me. I'm not sure how I'll make up for it.
