Short summary: A little accident on stage leads to a little blood.
“Sakura!”
Sakura hears Hatsuho yell out her name as she sinks down to her knees. Something doesn’t feel right. Maybe she should have eaten more this morning, even though she thought she ate her normal amount. Or maybe she’s getting sick? Sweat and tears are not unexpected on stage as part of this performance they are rehearsing, but there shouldn’t be blood…
“Hold on, let me just… Thanks, Clariss.”
Sakura sees a little red on the cloth that is pulled away from her forehead, feels a new one pressed there, warm and wet. She feels a little coolness against her lips as well.
“I’m…” Sakura isn’t sure what else to say. She’s okay, probably. It was just an accident on stage. She just needs a little rest and she’ll be back on her feet.
“The blood… Oh good, it’s stopped.”
Sakura finds herself exhaling in relief too along with Hatsuho. She feels herself basking in Hatsuho’s warmth and care and love.
“It really shouldn’t have happened.” While Sakura’s eyes are closed, she hears Seijuro’s voice from somewhere off-stage. “I’ll get Reiji to smooth those sticks out more. While we’re at it, Clariss, if you wanted to make any more adjustments to the script…?”
“Yes, Captain!”
“And Azami, if you want to get the staff to fix the background that was destroyed by the wayward stick…”
“Yes, Captain!”
And the rest either is not said out loud or Sakura misses hearing it. The cloth against her forehead has been changed again. Oh wait, it’s not cloth this time, it’s a pair of lips.
“Rest well, Sakura.”
Sakura doesn’t open her eyes when she smiles. She doesn’t need to; she senses that Hatsuho is smiling back.
“I will.”
And in Hatsuho’s embrace, she finally takes her rest.
