1895 Troubled Setsuna

As I continued praying for Juri and Satsuki’s arrival, time just continued to pass without any signs of them. We couldn’t hear any footsteps outside and no one knocked on the door yet.

Because of that, close to ten minutes had already passed in this room. We already moved from that spot where I put her in my arms and she reciprocated. At the moment, we’re sitting parallel to each other without any words being exchanged again.

This awkward silence was definitely suffocating but what else could I do to dispel it?

Being silent wasn’t going to help and neither was talking to her. Even if I brought up another topic to discuss, the conversation would dry up right away because of her short responses.
