Izumi was made aware of her conduct, and composed herself at once — or at least tried to.

The empress was so terribly shaken at the mere idea of what could’ve been wrong with her. So much so that her own anxiousness shook her more. Izumi never acted like this — even on her worse days, she was able to put on a brave face, suck it up and move on. As was her duty to her people to keep it together — yet here she was. On the verge of panic. Spiraling in the midst of sweaty paws and the thrumming of her own erratic heartbeat. The lack of sleep only added to this disruption.

The empress had work to tend to — she didn’t have time for this. Couldn’t have time for this.

What was she to do? What could she do?

What is wrong with me, Junna?

She stumbles to a stop before the medic, almost too close in a poor measure of distance.

I cannot eat without expelling anything, the sight and smell of food makes me ill. I can’t remember the last time this week that I’ve kept a meal down. Her words were rushed. Frenzied.

I am stressed all the time, can barely sleep without waking up, yet I never have the energy to move much, Was she dying? Was she going to die from her own lack of carefulness?

I…..something must’ve happened to me during the wedding, I must’ve…..eaten something. I am so careless…

Her eyes even shone—

Almost like she’d been on the verge of tears from simply thinking about it.

And she paused to blink the moisture away from her lilac depths. Those of which turned owlish in surprise.

Was she seriously crying right now?

Welcome Back!
