I couldn't pull away.

I had experienced such a thing many times before.

And because I've experienced it so many times, I understand now.
The reason I can't pull away is because I don't want to. Because I don't want to let go.

My body is being honest.
Or perhaps my heart is the same.

My body, and my heart... I'll let them have what they desire.

Coai had asked one of the castle staff to bring food, but without even receiving it... she just held Snow in her arms.

I don't know for how long we stayed like that.
All I knew was that I couldn't pull away from her slender body. That I didn't want to pull away.
That my whole body was hot, that all I could hear was the pounding of my heart.
And that it was all, somehow, so comfortable.

Coai suddenly opened her eyes and confirmed that Snow's profile... her completely relaxed sleeping face, was lying right before her.
Her presence itself was something I was already well aware of... because I had been holding her this whole time, because she was warm.
What I wanted to confirm with my own eyes was... that she, being there, was resting peacefully.

It seemed she had fallen asleep while still in Coai's embrace.
Was she so sleep-deprived that she still hadn't had enough?
If that's the case, then first, I just want her to sleep to her heart's content... Coai thought, feeling a sense of joy from the hand wrapped around her back.
