It felt like forever, but when her mother finished, her body felt a lot lighter now. Her throat, Lila, placed her hand there. It still felt slightly heavy, but unlike before, the severe pain gone. Just in case Lila wanted to sing a few notes. But her mother stopped her.
"You don't have to worry about this Lila-chan, this is also another obstacle."
"Another obstacle?" she repeated. Lila looked around and noticed that Haruka was gone. Where did he go?
"Yes, this has happened to so many idols before. The second person this happened to after Yumi-senpai's mother is Yukina-senpai."
Her violet orbs went wide, so Mikami-kun's information was wrong. If you think about this pattern, there should have been at least six before her. She isn't the seventh one but the eighth. Her mother pulled out her tablet and placed it on the table where several images of the lilac hair senpai showed up. "Hazaki Yukina-senpai, everybody recognized her as the top idol of her era. She was skilled in everything, dancing, singing... However, just when she was performing better than expected on stage, she suddenly retired."
"She retired . . .?" Lila repeated.
Sumire nodded, "Yes. It was similar to your case Lila-chan. But she didn't notice it immediately. Somebody infused poison in her a long time ago, causing her to have dizzy spells. Every time she sang, something was wrong. She got better and better. But, at night, her voice would act up."
Ah...
"I believe she lives a peaceful now. Iresumu-san saw her cousin suffering more than anyone. So she helped Yumi-senpai out. When Yumi-senpai saw me experiencing the same thing, she gave me a similar speech."
"So, im the next person.
Sumire nodded, "Yes, I want to spare you from the same fate and prevent you from reaching the same tragedy as Yukina-senpai. But, you showed no signs of it until now..so I didn't say a word."
So that's why they granted her request to take leave on solo idol performances. Someone else had already persuaded the board beforehand. Still listening to this, Lila clenches her fist. It really wasn't just her imagination. Bit by bit, it's going away.
That scares her, just the thought of being unable to sing. If she can't sing, if I lose her voice. She won't be able to convey it anymore. She won't be able to talk. Her. .feelings towards Haruka; and then those girls who like Haruka would stand a chance. One of the reasons why Haruka loves her is because of her honesty.
"Lila-chan.."
"What am, what am I supposed to do?"
Right now, her head feels all muddled. Why did this happen? These days she is so very happy. Is this her karma? Somebody like her doesn't deserve happiness. Yet for the past six months--
"In the first place, you didn't have this problem, Lila-chan. Back when you performed Star Road, back when you started to gain a stronger presence. Your rainbow aura was dust starlight particles in the sky. When I saw that, I felt relieved,' She won't have to go through the same experience as me.' I was under the impression that you'd be fine. Yet I realized it after your first performance in Light Town. Your insecurities came about when you realized your friend liked Haruka-kun. Lila-chan, for you, Haruka-kun is already your lifeline, saying it this way may seem exaggerated. But you do understand what I'm saying, no?"
Her lifeline. Haruka, if he heard that you'd add in something perverted. Ah really, she's known that for a long time. Her thoughts and everything she does now, it's all for Haruka. The reason why she's made it this far is because Haruka has been by her side. But, she wouldn't have any of this if it weren't for Kiryu. How many times did she try ending her life back then? If Kiryu didn't save her and persuade her to live, she wouldn't be here right now.
"When I heard that Yumeko liked Haruka. I was shocked. Although I laughed at it first. When I realized it was real... everything became dark. I felt strange. If, if it's really like this, what am I supposed to do? Haruka's feelings might be changing already. If that happens, what would happen to me?"
Her mother stood up and grabbed hold of her hand. "Lila-chan, back then, all I could do was try to change myself and not rely on that power. All the insecurities I had were painful. But because I have others beside me, I managed. Lila-chan, you also have others beside you aside from Haruka-kun. Since then it hasn't come to me. But I don't think he will leave you. Haruka-kun is different, so you'll be fine."
Different? Before Lila could ask what her mother meant, the doors opened, revealing Haruka. His hair and clothes covered in snow. Two bags in his hands. His hands looked blue, 'Did he go out in this weather to fetch things for her?' What a silly person.

"Wife, are you okay? Do you need anything? Are you too cold? Do you want some fruit?"
Lila laughs softly, "Um, hubby. I'm fine now."
Haruka-kun, however, wasn't having it and kept placing his hand on the girl's forehead. Then he would cut random amounts of fruit and feed it to her. Sumire's gaze softened when she saw the sight before her. It seems like Lila-chan is in good hands.
Her thoughts broke when she felt someone hug her from the back. Ah? "Yuhi."
"Are you fine?"
"Yes," she laced their hands together. "Hm, it's cold."
"Mmm, it's cold outside. Wear this," he wraps his muffler around her.
"Look, Haruka, that's how to flirt. We should do that too."
Haruka-kun looked speechless and nuzzled his face against Lila's. "Alright, we can do that later."
"Yay!" Lila beamed happily.
She glanced over and saw her husband frowning. Sumire could guess what he was thinking but gave his hands a reassuring squeeze. "Lila-chan, I'll come check on you again in two days."
"Okay, Mommy..." she trailed off and shyly extended her hands out. "Mommy, hug."
Ahhh-- her heart feels like it's melting. Her daughter is so adorable!! Sumire left her husband's side quickly and rushed over to the bed. She hugged the girl in his arms. So adorable, so cute. Is this girl really her daughter?
Lila laughs, "Um, mommy, you're holding me too tightly."
"Am I hurting you?" she backed away slightly.
"No, I'm very happy."
....
"I know you're worried about her, Yuhi. But she will be fine."
The two of them were walking away from the inn now. With the commotion caused today, though, she doubts the other guests would come back. So Lila-chan and Haruka-kun should have their peace for awhile.
Yuhi sighed, "I know he treats her well. I can see it. But I'm worried, he reminds me of.."
"Ren?"
"Yeah."
"Of course, like father like son. But you don't have to worry. Ren and Haruka-kun may be similar. However, when it comes to love, they are different."
"And you know that well, huh?"
Her sweat fell, sensing his tone. "Don't fool around; you're actually jealous?"
"Yes."
"Hey, now...! I told you, he was only checking on me, and nothing happened."
Yuhi eyed her, suspiciously, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. Or mister, are you not my husband?" she leaned forward as she said these words. In seconds Sumire found herself pinned against the trees, his lips on hers in seconds.
Laughter escaped her lips, "Mister, you kiss very well. Are you my husband?"
"Yes."
Her gaze softened, and she brushed her forehead against his. "What's wrong?"
"I think I'm very lucky. Even though I left you for so many years, you waited for me. I could return to your side."
She's so lucky. Normally in that situation, the husband would have found another woman, and the kids would bear some kind of grudge. Usually, returning would be impossible. But Yuhi waited for her; he waited for so long.
"Don't think about it now," Yuhi murmured. "Those years were very painful for me but for you too. You never forgot me."
'She fell even more in love with him.' It was bizarre. She hadn't seen her husband in so long, and yet she fell for him even more. Absence makes the heart grow stronger ... To think those words would prove to be true.
