"Do not enter. -Rain-"

Early in the morning, in front of Rain's room.

Chris was sitting next to the door, dozing off.

Nodding her head.

“Mmm… Our little white one, you can’t get sick…”@@novelbin@@

*Whirr—Click.*

“Huh!”

Startled by the sound that broke through her drowsy state, Chris quickly looked around.

“What?”

The door opened, revealing a small, pale girl sitting in a wheelchair.

She was dressed in the cute white pajamas Chris had bought her, fitting her small frame perfectly. It looked like she had just finished getting ready.

Rain, who had just emerged from the room, looked surprised to see Chris.

Chris quickly stood up and grabbed Rain by the shoulders.

“Rain, are you okay!? W-What… Did you try the whole night?”

“Ah… yes.”

Chris cautiously studied Rain’s expression.

There was a look of undeniable pain and exhaustion etched on her face.

Chris’s heart sank.

Her eyes welled up with tears.

A pain that felt like her heart was being squeezed.

“If it’s like this from the first day… what are we supposed to do…”

Chris lowered her head.

Rain was fighting this lonely battle.
