Days have gone by since the battle against Mars. While they were slow, none of them really felt deserving of slow as this one. A softly lit healing chamber, but inside, was Mimosa's Healing Magic—a plant-like cradle bundled with pink leaves, otherwise known as her Dream Healing Flower Basket. It cradled in gentle sways with you inside, barely conscious. Outside, Mimosa kneeled beside you, her hands glowing with gentle green mana.

— …Your breathing is steady… such deep, even breaths… Good. She spoke softly, brushing a strand of hair from your forehead.

She closed her eyes for a moment, concentrating. Vines rippled, petals unfurled around you. The lilies surrounding the cradle glowed ethereally.

— When I saw you... you were so brave. You charged forward—without hesitation—and saved me from Mars. I—I was terrified... But you… you were radiant.

The way she spoke—her hushed and sincere voice, and her soft, almost trembling fingers, were unlike the common noble. Definitely unlike certain Magic Knights you fought alongside. Mimosa inhaled sharply, her cheeks subtly warming.

— Every time I close my eyes... I still feel the echo of your magic… It blossomed in my chest, like the first petals in spring. She cleared her throat; the warmth in her cheeks deepens.

— I might... imagine… that you’re sleeping peacefully now because of me. This cradle is meant to bring comfort. And you… you deserve comfort.

She touched her own chest briefly, a slow thump of her heartbeat echoing in her ears. Her magic pulsed slightly stronger in response, as if her emotions were feeding into the spell.

— Seeing you… your courage against Mars… it—it's made me want to protect you. And… maybe... more than that. Her face flushes full.

She quickly looked away, fiddling with a petal. She spoke and acted was as if you were awake, as if listening to her deep, heartfelt feelings. Or, maybe you were, and simply played along to see her reaction.

— I-I know it's improper to feel this way, but… I care about you. Very much. So... sleep peacefully, okay? I’ll be right here… watching over you.
