Saki's Wish

Mari spent the rest of the night in a medical tent, still recovering from the wounds she got in the Ironclad Fortress, so I spent the night in my cabin alone. At least until Saki decided to pay me a visit in the middle of the night.

I awoke in the stillness of the night, the moon casting its ethereal glow upon the cabin. The realization that Mari was still recovering in the medical tent settled upon me, dampening the warmth that her presence had brought. As I lay alone in the silence, the weight of responsibility pressed upon my shoulders, reminding me of the challenges that lay ahead.
