/POP Sana/
At midnight, the wind was very cold throughout the hospital. In the room, there were only two people. A girl had fallen asleep, while the boy was awake.
Sana looked at her face while she slept.[What should I do with her…?]
But suddenly, in his dream-like state, Alice moved her hand toward him and held his hand.
"I'm sorry…"
Sana let her hold his hand.[She is just like the same Alice I know. In my past life, I dreamed of having a girlfriend like her… maybe… but I don't want to take advantage of her because of my situation right now.]
Sana gently stroked her hand."You don't need to apologise like that."[My heart feels hurt… how can I change my fate and live happily?]
Alice slowly opened her eyes because of his touch. She held his hand with both of hers and said, "I'm sorry… this is my fault for making you suffer like this."
She cried while speaking to Sana.
Sana gently wiped her tears."It's okay. You don't need to apologise. Saving someone is something anyone should do. So this is not your fault. At least I was able to save a life—that's enough for the cost."
Sana forced a smile.
Alice looked at him. "You're so kind to me."
Sana: "Maybe… because you look like someone I miss."
Alice: "But I'll take care of you until you recover from your wounds."
Sana: "But I don't want to affect your life… your studies, and your parents too."
Alice took his hand. "No, I won't. I don't want to feel guilty or regret anything in my life."
Sana: "…I won't force you. But remember, you need to go home when night comes. Your parents will worry about you if you stay here."
Alice looked sad and slowly took her hand back."I'm sorry for holding your hand like that. Yes, I promise I'll go home at night."
Sana smiled. "Yes… About your studies, I can help you. I've learned it before."
Alice smiled brightly. "Really? From now on, I'll take care of you."
Sana: "What is your name?"
Alice: "My name is Alice. And you?"
Sana: "My name is Sa…na."[Is this still my name in this world?]
