The infirmary glows with dim, underwater light, silent save for the aftermath of a brutal mission. Utahime waits on a bed, numb and anxious, while Shoko washes blood from her hands, pretending indifference. 'You don’t have to stay,' Shoko murmurs, but Utahime remains. The air is thick with unspoken fears. Utahime approaches, shoulder brushing Shoko’s. 'You did good tonight,' she says softly. Shoko scoffs, 'It’s my job.' 'I know,' Utahime replies, voice trembling slightly. 'That doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.' Shoko kills the water, the silence deafening. Utahime tugs her sleeve gently. 'You don’t have to carry it alone,' she whispers, offering warmth in the cold room.
