[X] "W-what happened?"

---

A single tear flows down his cheek.

"E-eh?" Youmu says. She looks worried.

Vincent quickly turns away to wipe it off.

"Don't mind it. You reminded me of someone just now," he says.

"I-I see," she says.

As he rubs his head, he gets a better look at her. She doesn't look angry. Her cheeks are tinged pink, and she is stroking her hair nervously with her left hand. Her mouth opens, as if to say something, but she closes it and bites her lips. She repeats this gesture several times. Her movements are clumsy and unsure.

This is certainly a fresh look for her. Vincent manages to clear his throat, but he feels himself blushing.

"So, w-what happened?" he asks.

Youmu takes a deep breath and manages to regain some composure.

"You passed out while we were watching the cherry trees," she says. "Lady Yuyuko had me take you back to the mansion to rest. Do you happen to be anemic or have any sort of medical condition?"

"None that I know of." he says. "So, where is Yuyuko?"

"She said that she was going to prepare something to help you recover. She headed straight to the kitchen when we got back."

"And she told you to watch over me?" he asks.

"Y-yes! I can't leave your side because of the seal, and I can't let Lady Yuyuko find out about it." she says.

Her eyes keep moving from her hands to his face, then back again. She looks like she wants to ask something. For a couple of minutes, he watches her struggle with herself. But before he can change the subject, she speaks.

"C-can I ask who I reminded you of?" she blurts out.

She covers her mouth immediately.

"I-I mean, you were speaking in your sleep. I-I didn't mean to be nosy but..."

Vincent feels himself turn bright red as he remembers his dream. It felt so vivid, almost like a memory.
