Admitting Failure
Suku comes to terms with the fact that he can't protect Suji alone.

Suji began to stir, a sense of awareness reaching her as her eyes opened just a crack, feeling dazed and achy. A headache pounded at her skull, and she whimpered softly, feeling something thick and sweet-tasting in her mouth. It took her a moment to realize it was a wet cloth of some sort. She widened her eyes, fully absorbing her surroundings and realizing she was in a strange place that smelled like strangers. But she could smell her brother nearby, too, which she thought strange even in the mind-fuddle she was thinking through as her brother rarely let her near strangers, especially when she was sick. She tried to lift her head to get a better view of what was going on around her, and hopefully spot her brother. Even now, when she was so ill she could barely walk, she worried he was fighting some stranger out of some misguided need to protect her. Yet, she heard no sounds of a battle, and she was too disoriented to lift her head enough to see him. Her eyelids felt heavy, and she closed them tiredly, whispering her brother's name through the rag in her mouth. "Suku..." Moments later, she felt her brother's familiar tongue licking at her cheek, and she sighed, her mind put at ease knowing that he wasn't getting into trouble. She seemed near the edge of sleep again, a heavy fatigue weighing on her mind. |
Suji is almost always with her brother, Suku.
She also suffers from an immune disorder that makes her rather sickly.
