“<span class="mu-i">Kata, I do trust you. A whole lot. So I want you to trust me when I say that I’m not in any danger. I promise I’ll rely on you if I ever am so you don’t have to worry.</span>” You whisper from the heart.
“<span class="mu-i">Look me in the eye</span>.” Kata wants you to pay attention to another part of her being. You do as she says. You see the genuine worry in those peepers. It feels like she’s scanning you. “<span class="mu-i">Go ahead, Johnny. Do what you must.</span>” The nurse smiles with confidence. She trusts you! “Oh! It’s your new cologne, you say?I’ll be seeing you then, dear! Thank you for the clothes!” She winks before walking off in the only way she can… Her strut is as hypnotic as ever. You watched her go for a bit before closing the door.
“<span class="mu-i">Phew…</span>” You continue watching Kata go for a bit before closing the door. “Wasn’t easy, but the coast is clear, Vivi.” You acknowledge that it wasn’t a breeze to deal with! “Vivi?” You don’t see her around, but you have a guess where she might be…
On top the makeshift bed, there’s a cloth pyramid trembling like it’s about to collapse. That must be Vivi. Why she decided to put layers and layers of clothes on top of herself with the fever she has and the hotness she feels is beyond your comprehension. But people with fevers don’t usually make the best decisions. The most charitable reason you can think of is that she’s tried to hide in the fastest way possible, but still, it’s pretty stupid. At least you know why she didn’t hear you.
You approach one of the comfy wonders of the world for your new archaeological expedition… As you go through the catacombs, you find the sarcophagus you were looking for. But once you lay your hands on the antique, the building starts to rumble… You escaped before it fell apart with treasure and all!
Basically, you pulled her out of the pile of clothes and all the costumes fell off the makeshift bed. It’s like the ruins were never there...
“Vivi…!” Oh no! You think the former cultist is worse than ever! Calling Vivi by her nickname soothed her a little nudge. Barely visible, but you noticed! “Are you okay? Do you need me to hug you again?”
“<span class="mu-i">...QUICK.</span>” Vivienne latches onto you this time! Before, she didn’t put her arms around you, now she’s clutching you like a hunter to its prey. It's like she has no concept of how a hug works! You hug her back either way!
“B-Better?” You feel like a vet treating a distressed cat. Who are you kidding? She’s not doing better! Maybe better than before you pulled her out of her tomb, but compared to before Kata’s visit, she’s way worse!
“<span class="mu-i">….IT’S NOT ENOUGH. The heat is consuming me. This curse won’t go away.</span>” Vivienne can’t believe it. “<span class="mu-i">I NEED MORE.</span>”
“More of what?” You can do some headpats, maybe?
“<span class="mu-i">….Look at me…</span>” Vivienne presses your forehead with hers. “<span class="mu-i">MORE OF <span class="mu-s">THIS</span>.</span>”
