Gratitude

"What's wrong, Yui?"

Haein asked me laying in my arms, our naked bodies lightly pressed against each other. 

"Nothing, really"

"I can tell there's something in your mind"

"I'd rather not talk about it"

"Why not?"

":Sigh: Well, talking about it won't change anything. It won't make me feel any better either"

"Just think of it like talking to yourself"

"What do you mean?"

"You know, I'm supposed to forget about everything and spawn as someone 'new' after November 9th. Whatever you tell me I won't remember anyway. So you don't need to worry about what you tell me, right?"

That was comforting and depressing as fuck.

"That doesn't actually make me feel any better, Haein"

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to help you in any way I can. You are carrying so much burden in your heart, while you freed me from all my burdens"
