[It all sounds so cold when put like that, when put in terms of winning or losing. But even Momo can tell that, at some level, that's really what it is to the UE and the Initiative.

She breathes out a sigh, leaning slightly against the bed.] We'll just wait for that...

I'll pay attention, all right? Then we'll know when they fix it.

[substitutable]

That'd be helpful.

[He lets go of her hand and places his on her head.]

... We'll get home. Mom's waiting -- well, technically, I don't think she knows we're gone -- but we'll get home. So don't worry.

[eyecaptivating]

[She lowers her head further on the bed, not complaining when Shintaro places his hand on it. Inclining her head slightly in a nod, she's silent for a moment before answering.]

Okay, yeah... We'll go home and we won't be sick and Mom won't have to worry.

[Momo absolutely has to believe it, has to believe they'll get out of this all right. She knows they will.]

So just rest for now, okay?

[substitutable]

I'll do that.

[He ruffles her hair.]

... Don't be a crybaby if anything happens, Kido and the others are sick, too.

[eyecaptivating]

[She huffs out a breath at that, but it's enough to make her relax some. This is something familiar between them, something that can ground her.]

I-I'm not gonna cry! [Yes, she is.] I'll be fine!

Stop saying stupid things.

[substitutable]

I'm not saying anything stupid, stupid.

You're feeling okay?

[eyecaptivating]

Yes, you are, stupid.

[It's said halfheartedly at best though and she soon nods.] I'm feeling better than you are... I'll be okay.

[substitutable]

That's not exactly what I meant. [he sighs] But it's fine. Thanks, I appreciate you helping me.

[eyecaptivating]

Eh? What are you talking about? What did you mean?

[She raises her head slightly again, though she doesn't take her eyes off him.]

[substitutable]

...

If you didn't get it, I won't tell you.

[eyecaptivating]

[It's only the fact that she hasn't forgotten that he's sick that keeps her from protesting too much.]

Never mind! It was probably something stupid...

[substitutable]

Mmmm. Maybe. I think it was. [He sighs and flops down on his back again.]

[eyecaptivating]

[She frowns, but doesn't push anymore, her grip on his hand tightening.] You should go to sleep again...

[substitutable]

[With a nod, he responds to her tightening hand with a squeeze of his own. He really is causing trouble, isn't he?]

Yeah, I think I'll do just that.

[eyecaptivating]

[Hesitantly, she flashes him a smile, though it's not much of one.]

I'll be here when you wake up.

[substitutable]

Thanks. [He rolls over a little. It'll be easier not to choke on anything if he's on his side, right?]

Good night, Momo.

[eyecaptivating]

Good night, [she says on an exhale, resting her chin on the edge of the bed.

All she really can do for now is wait.]
