>Amy wakes up in Nikki's bed and groggily stares at the ceiling, their trysts are infrequent but Amy is so used to waking up alone that she doesn't immediately notice that Nikki is sleeping right beside her until she starts murmuring in her sleep
>she can't make out any words but Nikki seems to be agitated, Amy scooches closer and strokes Nikki's face to try and soothe her
"Shh, shh, I'm here Nicole"
>she whispers gently into Nikki's ear, it may just have been a coincidence but it seems to have worked
>Amy lays back down on the pillow and looks at Nikki's calm sleeping face as she reminisces on their turbulent few months; from tormentor to occasional lover Amy had been caught in Nikki Kade's orbit just like Nikki had seemingly been ensnared by Priscilla's
>she recalls her embarrassing first meeting with Priscilla and how utterly insignificant she felt in her presence, Amy wonders how long Priscilla will permit this 'relationship', whatever it is, to continue. What'll happen when we're no longer useful? Will Priscilla lets us hold hands as she slits our throats, or will we be set 'free' and spend the rest of our days in fear waiting for the guillotine to fall?
>Amy pushes those thoughts to the back of her mind and tries to enjoy this rare moment
[Internally] "I wish I could start every day like this."
>their relationship had never been normal but in this moment Amy suddenly realised that she loves Nikki more than anything, people won't understand it but that's tough luck for them, she wonders if they'll ever be able to do normal things like go shopping or have a picnic or if they're forever trapped inside the beautiful prison of the Divine Mansion
>Amy knows that a normal life with Nikki is probably impossible, there's too much damage, but maybe the occasional moment of peace and normality could help her
>Nikki turns over and puts her back to Amy
"I love you, Nicole."
>no response
>Amy rolls onto her back, looks at the ceiling and smiles
[Internally] "This is fine."
