I'll post the love confession scene since its probably the most important scene of the story, but might be cheesy. I really want this part of the story to be perfect.

-----

Yun: "Ridley, are you doing alright?"
Ridley: "Yes, Mr. Y." her voice is slow and hurt.
Yub: You didn't eat your meal. Here, have some food. He takes a spoonful of food, cups her chin and feeds it to her. She is very weak.

Yun sighs, feeds her a bit more: Alright, I've prepared some medicine for you, it should help straighten out some of your symptoms.

Ridley takes it.
Yun: Put it under your tongue and let it dissolve, then drink this water.

Ridley: Thank you, Mr. Y.
a little sarcastically...

She thinks to herself, “every time I say it, I fall further into the labyrinth.”

Yun: Ridley...
He wants her to snap out of it.

Yun: Ridley, what's wrong?
She's drowsy.
Ridley: Are you trying to hypnotize me?...
Yun: What? Of course not. Why would you say that?”
Ridley: You’re trying to hypnotize me into forgetting about you…
Yun: Hypnotize…What are you---
Ridley: I don’t want to call you that.
Yun: Huh?
Ridley: It's too far away from me.
He realizes its an odd thing to say, but he completely understands the feeling.
Her head is heavy, drowsy, she won’t turn to face Yun.

Yun: Don't be sad, Ridley. Hey, hey snap out of it! I'm sorry, just, with work, I...Ridley!" She pulls her shoulder so that she is facing him, and he can see her face. Ridley has some tears forming in her eyes, she looks extremely sick….. “I want to tell you something. I want you to know that…
Yun frowns and smiles at the same time with concern, love, and a sense of dread. He understands the sadness she expressed during the earthquake, was because she was not referring to the Earthquake at all, but something else entirely. It was because she had already accepted death.

She pulls out her sketchbook, she has drawn a portrait of herself as requested earlier.

Ridley: In this place, I’m so sheltered, and I felt protected because of you.

Yun: That’s why I’m here. I'll protect you, Ridley. Always.

bumping with a character portrait I just drew. I live in Japan so timezones are awkward
