“I promise you’ll be able to save him, mistress Aya. But you need to rest, even if only a little while, mistress. Please.” He gently placed her down again on the sandbag, stroking her hair like her mother used to. “Please, mistress…”
As determined as she was.. his promise felt sincere to her. She could rest now, and save father in just a little bit.. just a little rest as was all she needed.. 5 minutes, at best. "P-Please.. don't forget to wake me up soon..!" Aya shifted atop the sandbag, trying to get comfortable, her eyelids fluttering between open and shut. "Don't.. forget to wake me up.."
