A dizzying haze. Only when the chill of the stone platform seeped into my back did I realize I was lying down. I opened my eyes, sensing it with absolute clarity. She was right beside me. Something stirred in my chest. Blankly, she raised her head. "..." Her lips parted, her voice so hoarse it was barely audible. "It's not..." She stared fixedly at me, her lips trembling. Hearing her own words, she froze first, looking as though she hadn't expected such things to slip past her lips. Then, a burning heat flushed across her entire face, turning even the tips of her ears a vivid crimson. I kept my eyes on her, my palm gently touching hers. She didn't pull away.
