"Darling, I've just been thinking. And I looked at the calender the other day and realized what the date was. It's October. And...when I said Halloween was bad last year, I probably understated it. I know that I'm going to need you. I'm going to need you more than I've ever needed you before, here."
Saori trails off, bending down to kiss Yuuna lightly on the top of her head. There's no way to put a softer point on this, not really.
"I won't be able to protect you here, not like at home. The shifts have been kind to us so far, but I don't think that you've really got a sense of what sort of things can happen. Today, I'm going to show you. Because if you don't really understand, and if you take this lightly, then one or both of us will suffer. I love you, darling Yuuna. With all my heart, and to see you get hurt would break me. I need you to train with me. Seriously train. I need you to be more than just the woman I love. I...I need you to be beside me, helping me fight here."
She sucks in a heavy breath, taking in the scent of Yuuna's shampoo. "We're at war, and someday you will be forced to fight. When that comes, you may have to protect people who don't have half your strength and spirit. When that time comes, I want you to be able to stand strong and win. I have a feeling things are changing. With that bomb, and with the tunnels..."
She trails off, not sure how to phrase it since she hadn't told Yuuna yet, but her voice chokes, and she's got a pained look in her eye. It's humiliating, and she's on the verge of tears, really. That she'd been murdered three times...tortured and experimented on...and she couldn't even remember...
