drowning in taste (3)

Ryu's eyes closed feeling the touch of Annara's soft hand that he missed so much.

"Would you like a drink Ryu?" Annara asked maybe Ryu's throat was dry from hydration.

Ryu nodded slowly without being able to move his body which felt numb, very painful in the stomach and back area.

Carefully, Annara put a straw in Ryu's mouth to make it easier to drink.

"Want another drink, Ryu?" Annara asked sadly, looking at Ryu who was tormented by his condition.

Ryu shook his head slowly.

"Ryu, promise me not to do anything to hurt you, I can't see you like this." Anna said holding back her sadness.

"I've made amends, Nara." Ryu said softly while moving his body that couldn't lie down except lying on his side.

"But it doesn't have to be with your death Ryu." Annara said with a choked voice holding back the pain again.
