#cut to shadow staying the ENTIRE proceedure

"I'll always be right here for you, whenever you need me."

@resolutewarrior

" thank you. " the words quietly spoken as she braces herself for tomorrow's procedure. she still felt the fear and anxiety crawling across her skin at the thought of another procedure with needles, pain, cold rooms and bright lights. another attempt. another try. she clung to the hope that this one would help- it wasn't a cure. her grandfather insisted she knew that right away, but it was a step in the right direction. allegedly.

but at least shadow would be there.

she begged both him and grandfather that shadow be there when she went to sleep and woke up. she needed him. it wasn't that she didn't trust her grandfather or the scientists and doctors, but...shadow had always been a comforting presence in everything.

she needed him there for this. "grandfather said this procedure could take a few hours....just...stay with me till i fall asleep at least? "
