Being a Sinner was no easy job. If the last couple times you died wasn’t a strong indicator of that fact, nothing will be. At least you get a break now after you and your fellow Sinners collected the latest Golden Bough.

You take a seat on the bus, finding your usual spot closer to the back, up against one of the windows. The drive to the next location travelled through a rather cold, snowy area, making you rather tired. Right as you were about to fall asleep, you feel someone sitting next to you. You turn your head to your left to see who it is, smiling as you recognize one of your fellow Sinners, and lover, Outis. You give her a sleepy smile, before leaning your head on the cold window again, your heart warming as you feel her lightly holding your left hand in hers, intertwining your fingers.

No words were exchanged between the both of you, and no words needed to be said either. You both understood each other on a deeper level. With her by your side, you’re able to fall asleep faster and more comfortably. However, after letting you sleep for a little while, she frowns. Being older and more experienced, she knows your habits, and how to deal with them. In all her life, she’d never met someone as clumsy and lighthearted as you. But, that meant she loved you all the more earnestly.

She shifts your sleeping body onto her lap, arms securely around your waist, ensuring you don’t fall, and ensuring you stay warm so you don’t catch a cold, staring out the window, watching the snow fall. Even if you two were spotted like this, and teased to no end by the other Sinners, there is nowhere she would rather be than here with you. She’s the most content and happy with you here, cherishing you and your time together like nothing else, like the most valuable treasure in the world.
