"Ugh..." I groaned quietly, slowly lifting my head.
Where am I...?
"You're awake."
The voice came out of nowhere, making me yelp in surprise. I sat up quickly and looked to my side, seeing Muichiro gazing at me quietly.
"Oh... It's just you, Mui..." I sighed, lightly and playfully hitting his arm.
That's right... I remember now. He insisted on taking me to his house. I feel a lot better. I may need just one more dose of medicine before I go back home. Medicine...
"Mui, where's the medicine that Kocho-san gave you?" I hummed.
"Medicine? What medicine?" He asked, tilting his head.
... Okay, I know he has a bad memory, but did he really forget about this?
"Mui... The medicine? The small bottle that Kocho-san gave you before we left?"
"Mmm... Doesn't ring a bell..."
I groaned internally and started to stand, hoping to try and find it myself, but he quickly reached towards me and wrapped a firm hand around my arm, pulling me right back down.
"No... You still need to rest," he stated.
"Well, I would feel a lot better if I had that medicine," I said insistently.
"... Y'know what? I think I might know what you're talking about." He stood and walked out of the room briefly before returning with a small bottle. "Is this it?"
I didn't get a good look at the bottle when Shinobu gave it to him, but when I take the pills themselves, they're white, just as the ones in this bottle are. I nodded and took it, unscrewing the cap and taking one. It made me feel a lot better, actually! More energized. I handed the bottle back to him and smiled.
"Y'know, I think I should be able to return home tomorrow," I said cheerfully.
He looked at me with an unreadable expression before narrowing his eyes a little.
"You still want to go home?" He huffed.
"Well, yeah! My mom is waiting for me!"
"... Yeah... Your mom..." He glanced away for a few seconds, seeming to contemplate something. "... Okay... I'll take you home... But you should stay in here for today, alright?"
I nodded, cuing him to stand and walk out of the room.

Poor, poor [NAME]... Why can't she see what he's trying to do for her? That he's trying to protect her? This world is too cruel for a sweet girl like her...
Muichiro looked at the pill bottle in his hand. While [NAME] was asleep, he went back to the butterfly estate and managed to snag some different pills. Pills that would make you full of energy at one moment and collapse at the next. It was slow-acting, though. The effect should kick in at just the right moment.
