Chapter 451
Closing our eyes as my hand lifted to hold our right arm that trembled uncontrollably against our need for calmness, I searched within us for the gut to become the support we needed most. Since we can’t just give up... — ’I- I will do my best. I’ve... I’ve been in this kind of situation before... and I’ll do what I can again...’
"....."
’But I know... it’s different to that time... S-so I’ll ask you to help me too... we... luckily, we are two here...’
".. . . ..."
’W-we have each other... r-right?’
We both, even though we were accustomed to getting ourselves together while supporting each other, were still not convinced since this wasn’t something we had much control over. But there was a sense of resignment to the fear that started to grow... because both of us understood it wouldn’t help... which, of course, didn’t mean we weren’t scared anymore.
Regardless, I made us look around the room. Noticing at first how no one had come to take a look after all the noise we made... to then search the bits of the room we couldn’t reach with our eyes for anything that may be of use.
’We can see what’s around at the very least... that’s a good thing. But even so... besides the table, the bed and the window in the ceiling...’ — "Maybe only the sheets could be of use... besides the glass of water..."
"....."
Probably, Marianne didn’t understand well how those could be of use since she hadn’t experienced this kind of thing before... but I wasn’t truly inclined to tell her how I would use them if given the chance... since even if desperate, I hope I don’t have to get that far.
