☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- How can I not worry... - Ayano stammers. - Anything could happen. So... please be careful, okay? Don't take off the talisman. Don't eat or drink anything questionable. Don't go to any suspicious places, - she says without a hint of reflection, the facade of the building behind her casting a shadow. - And, uh... don't catch a cold, - she sighs, placing her hand on Ayano's shoulder and looking into her eyes, then smiles wryly at herself. - How silly. It's like I'm letting my daughter go to school alone for the first time. A foolish, clucking hen... Oh, yes, - her gaze becomes serious again. - I do have one request. Can you promise me something and keep it? It won't require any effort from you, but it would help me breathe a little easier.
