I did not sleep. Not only because I don't need to sleep, but also because I want to cherish the time being close with Mazao more. People often cherish the treasures they regain after losing them. Mazao, in my heart, is a treasure I once thought I would lose.
At the same time, I can feel my affection for Mazao growing increasingly intense. Embracing her with this warm feeling is naturally the most comforting thing.
However, just like soaking in hot water for too long can make you dizzy, letting the love in my heart grow unrestrained might make me lose my normalcy. I feel somewhat unfamiliar with my own emotions, unsure and uneasy. In the latter half of the night, to calm my mind again, I lifted half of the quilt, sat up from the bed, put on my slippers, and quietly went out to the corridor.
