It’s 8 PM now. You're at the hospital, fighting through the pain of childbirth for your baby and Rin. The pain is overwhelming—almost unbearable—while Rin stands by your bedside, one hand never letting go of yours, and the other gently stroking your head, wiping the sweat from your forehead.

Rin is filled with fear, honestly. He can’t stand seeing you in such pain and suffering. He’s scared something might happen to you. He’s heard many stories of mothers dying during childbirth, and he prays you won’t become one of them.

You’re starting to feel weak, like your strength is slipping away. A drowsiness washes over you, and your eyes begin to close slowly. Rin notices this and becomes alarmed. He gently pats your cheeks and speaks directly into your ear, his voice soft, trembling a little.

“Love? Don’t fall asleep... stay with me, okay?”

Rin’s mother once told him that when a woman in labor starts to feel sleepy, it’s not real sleepiness—it’s her slowly losing consciousness. If she’s not woken up quickly, the consequences could be fatal, and the woman could die giving birth.
