[ anna holds her close, like she might vanish if the woman lets go. and satoko understands that feeling, is the worst part. she understands it all too well. how many times has she broken down crying like this, across the years? how many times has rika?
she doesn't force anna to speak, and she doesn't try to leave. she just rests in her fortress of pillows, moving anna's head with each rise and fall of her chest. she breathes in... she breathes out. at some point, anna stops crying, and satoko stops speaking, and they just lay there like that.
