Somewhere in her Mind

Walking through the empty hallway behind the dojo, with the glass windows next to us, as sunlight dimly lit the floor in front of us. The sound of the wooden floor creaking as we walked was overwhelming, even in the faint noise of the crowd outside.

I swiftly moved my eyes towards Naoto, who had a blank look on her face, as her long black hair was messy and she was resting her body against me. At that moment, it felt like she was really vulnerable.

I couldn't think at the moment. But whatever it was, it was rather odd since Naoto wasn't the type of girl to act like that. She wasn't the type of girl to stare blankly at those voids empty of any ambitions. 

Something odd was going on as I found her looking at me with her avid eyes, which seemed to reflect the dim light in the hallways. She was looking stunning as ever with her calm composure.

"Does it hurt?" I asked, as it seemed like she was trying her best to not let the pain show up on her face.
