Y/N went home after taking care of Iris who was hospitalised. She'll probably be there until the day of her passing. It was already nighttime. While walking back, she cried a lot giving her some states from people. She realised people were staring at her so she walked back as fast as she could.

On her way home at a quiet neighborhood, she felt a pat on her shoulder which gave her some shivers. She turned around to see Atsushi smiling. When he saw Y/N's face in tears, his smile faded. "Y/N! W-What's wrong!? What happened to you're daughter!?" asked Atsushi. Y/N didn't reply but she kept crying. She went near Atsushi and her tears were on his shoulder. "You're clothes haven't changed yet since yesterday. Come on, let's get you home." said Atsushi. He accompanied her to go home.

Once they arrived at Y/N's home, Y/N took her keys from her pockets and unlock the door. When the door opened Y/N went inside and then let Atsushi inside too. Y/N sat herself down on the couch and just stared at the floor, not speaking a word. "H-Have you eaten yet?" asked Atsushi who was uncomfortable with the situation. Y/N didn't say but spinned her head as a sign of no. Atsushi went to sit next to Y/N on the couch. "So do you want to e-eat anything at all?" he asked awkwardly. "T-This is so awkward..." he thought. "I want instant noodles...." muttered Y/N. "Instant noodles? Umm ok. Sure, I'll make that for you." said Atsushi then he walked away.

Atsushi came back from the kitchen to the living room. He was holding two bowls of instant noodles with chopsticks in it. He placed both of the bowls on the coffee table that was in front of the couch. Atsushi started to eat his first but Y/N haven't even touched hers yet. "Aren't you gonna eat?" Atsushi asked. Y/N nodded then she took her chopsticks and started eating the noodles slowly. They just kept eating their meal. It was an awkward dinner because there were no words, no talking, nothing. Just a sound of slurping. "I should leave after this." Atsushi thought. "Atsushi..." Y/N said his name suddenly. "What is it?" asked Atsushi. "Stay with me tonight. Please." she said looking at him in those sad e/c eyes. "I just can't accept the news...." Y/N said then she sighed.

"Just one night." she insisted. "Well, if it's just one night then ok." he said. Y/N looked relieved and she smiled for just a second then it faded. Then, they continued to eat the ramen until it was finished. "I'll clean the dishes." Y/N said. She was about to take the bowls but Atsushi stopped her. "Let me wash it." he said. "But-" he took both of thr empty bowls and rushed to the kitchen before Y/N could even say anything.

"Where do I sleep, Y/N?" asked Atsushi as he walked out from the kitchen after washing the dishes. He was drying his hand by wiping it off his shirt. When he looked up, Y/N was already asleep. Her head was on the coffee table. Atsushi giggled looking at Y/N sleeping in that position. He went to her and carried her to her room. He put her on to the bed and tucked her in. As he was about to leave the room, Y/N suddenly sleeptalked. "Stay with me.... Don't leave me all alone. Hold my hand." she muttered. She sounded like a child. Then, he went to her and hold her hand while he also slowly fell asleep.
