Ruby is doing as well as one could hope. She's sleeping a lot, and she's still in a little bit of pain. I'm just tired, but nothing that really causes any concern.
[She is still hugging Riko too, looks like she probably needed that hug.]
[ She's always been the most mature one in their group, Riko knew that very well. Dia is so calm and serious right now, it's just like she wasn't scared at all. But...is that really the truth? ]
[To tell the truth, Dia is terrified right now. She's scared Ruby won't get well quickly. She's scared that there was unseen damage. She's scared to have to explain something like this to their parents if they ever go home.
Quite frankly, Dia has been putting on a strong face for quite some time.]
[ Although it might have sounded a bit awkward (and, truth to be told, it's not the first time Riko says something like this out of the blue), Riko doesn't seem flustered. Actually, she even nods. ]
You're so strong.
[ Even if Dia's scared, she's hiding it pretty well. ]
But...remember that we're here for you and Ruby-chan.
[ Riko raises her eyebrows in surprise; this is kind of a weird thing to be reminded of, isn't it? Of course they're here. Still, Riko can't blame Dia for feeling like this. She's been confused and stressed for most of the time so no doubt that Dia felt the same if not worse. ]
[The last two weeks have been an out of body experience for her. She is certain that some of the things that she is saying probably sound really concerning.]

[ Dia should get some rest, that's for sure. Yet, Riko's not really sure if her friend will agree to this. ]
You need rest, Dia-san.

[Dia frowns.]
But I think she would enjoy your company, Riko-san.

I wish I had a sister like you.

[Because Dia was convinced for a while that Ruby wouldn't make it, and in turn she wouldn't either. It's horrible.]
It is you guys that makes me strong.
no subject
You're here, both of you. And we're here for you.
[ She offers her a tiny smile. ]
And you make us strong, Dia-san.

Riko-san...
[She doesn't even know what to say right now.]
