Sunday came and the first thing that registered in my mind when I opened my eyes was the peaceful image of my girls sleeping soundly around me. Akane on my right shoulder and Haruko on my left. Below, on my chest, the silver crown of Edel’s head came into my view. That’s all I could see. She’s lying face down on top of me, after all.
Although I could feel her weight bearing down on me, it was not bothersome at all. In fact, I found it comforting that she remained there. I could vaguely remember last night but I’m certain that this silver koala had shown improvement in terms of her mindset.
What was it? She’s going to protect me, is that right? A commendable thought that my head instantly imagined her lean figure standing before me. Her arms are outstretched as she seemingly shields me from someone.
