"Morofuji," I said while looking toward her. "You have to take care of yourself, alright?"
After I said that, she suddenly went quiet for a moment, and I watched as her face gradually turned red from the bottom of her cheeks all the way up to her ears, almost like a kettle that had been sitting over a flame for far too long and was now dangerously close to releasing all of its steam.
"Uh... O-Okay," she finally replied, sounding noticeably flustered while avoiding my eyes for a moment.
"Did I say something weird?" I asked her, genuinely confused by her reaction because I couldn't understand why something as simple as telling her to take care of herself had affected her that much.
"Well, no... although, I suppose you kind of did," she replied while looking away for a moment. "It's just kind of surprising hearing the words 'You have to take care of yourself' from you."
Was that really so surprising?
