Emely worked in her lab just like every night. It almost had been a month now since she started this project and could feel everything getting closer to the end. The young engineer was so focused that she didn't even notice Silva next to her, sitting in silence. She only noticed her when she turned to take one of her tools and flinched when she saw her beloved standing there.

"Silva, you scared me. You need something?"

"It's late, it's time to sleep."

"I suppose so... Let me finish this part, it should only take half an hour."

"Half an hour? It's not finishing, it's starting something else, you need to sleep."

"I promise it's important."

Silva still seemed unconvinced but agreed to give some time to Emely. The blind girl sat on a desk that wasn't used and took out a sketchbook to draw in it, surprising Emely.

"Aren't you tired? You should go sleep."

"After last time, I'm not leaving until I'm sure you sleep."

"Fine, I'll just finish what I was doing then, it will take five minutes."

"Ah! I knew it, you just wanted to work more!"

Emely smiled softly at Silva, even if she wanted to work more, she didn't want Silva to miss hours of sleep because of her. She continued working for a few minutes and managed to finish what she was doing, all that was left was clean around the lab. Emely hurried to tidy up the room but stopped when she noticed Silva focused on her drawing. She was biting a paintbrush and closing her eyes as she was drawing on her sketchbook. Emely lost herself in her lover's face, looking at Silva with all the love in the world. It didn't take long for Silva to notice the sudden silence in the room and stand up from the desk, waking Emely up from her daydreaming.

"You finished?"

"I... I guess it's fine, I'll clean later. Let's go sleep now."

Silva smiled cheerfully before taking Emely's hand and walking together toward their rooms.

The two girls were in front of Emely's room, tired from the day and ready to sleep. Silva stretched and yawned after letting go of her beloved's hand.

"Don't go anywhere and don't work, okay? You need to sleep."

"I thought you wanted to make sure I'm asleep before leaving?"

"Are you really going to leave while I'm away?"

"Maybe." Emely said with a smile "You should stay with me and make sure I'm asleep."

Silva chuckled, she understood Emely's plan but wasn't going to complain about spending more time with her. Silva entered Emely's room and sat on the bed alongside Emely.

"I wish I could see what your room looks like."

"There's not much to see, I never spend time here. I even sleep in my lab most of the time."

"Well, now it's time to sleep. You work so much that I'm sure you dream of it."

Emely giggled and lay on her bed, looking at Silva with eyes full of expectations.

"Why don't you come here?"

"It's not big enough for two people. It's kinda annoying, the ship is huge, but our rooms are so small."

Emely pouted before taking Silva and forcing her on top of her. The blind girl was lying on top of her beloved and took off her glasses. Emely took them and put them on a desk before holding Silva against her.

"See? There's more than enough space."

"Is it not uncomfortable for you?"

"Why would it be? I'm next to the softest thing ever."

The two girls stayed in the bed, trying to pass the night. Emely managed to relax but she could feel Silva's restlessness, her heart beating faster than it should be.

"Silva, are you okay?"

"Yes... I just worry a bit."

"About what?"

"Nothing, just sleep."

Emely wasn't convinced, she could hear in Silva's voice that something was bothering her.

"Are you worried about me?"

"No."

"Is it about one of your friends?"

"No."

"Would you tell me if I was right?"

"No."

The girl was getting a bit annoyed by Silva's efforts to hide the reason for her discomfort. Emely suddenly started to cry, prompting Silva to comfort her by holding her.

"What happened? Are you all right?"

"No... The most important person in my life doesn't trust me..."

"It's not that... It's just that you should sleep."

"But... I want you to tell me..."

Silva let out a sigh, feeling bad for causing trouble to her beloved.

"Okay, if I tell you, you'll stop crying?"

"Yes!" Emely immediately stopped crying, taking Silva by surprise.

"Were you faking it? How can you do that?"

"It's a secret~. But please, I really want to know what is making you feel bad."

"It's just... You're almost finished with your time thingy, right? I'll return to the past and prevent the anomaly's creation. In other words, the universe lies on my shoulders..."

"That's the problem, I understand now." Emely held Silva's head against her chest, caressing her softly "Don't worry, you'll only change the anomaly's world. And I made a system that will bring you back after a few hours, so you'll be safe, I promise. If there were too many risks, I never would have allowed you to do it. And even if you do fail, we'll find a way to deal with the anomaly."

"I know... It's just really stressful."

"It will all be fine, and if something happens, it's not your fault."

"Yeah, it's the nerd's fault if something bad happens."

"The nerd?" Emely asked, a bit confused "Gwyn?"

"No, the old leader. She's a nerd that plays video games all day."

"You really don't get along together, why do you hate her so much."

"I didn't hate her before, she was funny. But after what she did to Sepide, I knew there would be no way for me to have respect for her anymore."

"I can understand what she wanted to do. If I hadn't met you, maybe I would have accepted her world. But knowing it wouldn't be the real you, I couldn't bring myself to accept and do nothing."

Emely held Silva, who seemed calmer now. The young engineer kissed Silva's forehead before asking her a question.

"If we had to choose a new leader, a real one, who would you choose?"

"A new leader... I'd choose Neige. He knows how to stay calm and he's wisest I think. All the others still lack something, but Neige would be perfect."

"Maybe, I wonder how things will go... For now, let's just enjoy our time. We plan on having a party or something before I announce that everything is ready. We'll be able to rest and have fun, it will relax you."

"I'm sorry... For bothering you..."

Silva closed her eyes, visibly ready to sleep. Emely softly caressed her hair, leading Silva more and more toward her slumber.

"Your voice is soft Emely... It makes me sleepy..."

Emely continued to caress Silva and kept thinking of ways to make the time travel even safer. The young engineer shook her head and instead focused on the present moment.

"The future will be bright, I'm sure. But for now, let's enjoy the present. It's where you are after all, and I don't want to miss a second with you, my dumb bat."
