Yin Yi shivered (ó﹏ò｡), wrapped in his robe, which was soaked in ice water. Her legs were pressed together, and liquid dripped from her as she said:
"C-cold... cold right down to my soul (achoo)... but it really did cool down my burning spirit body... Big Sister Left Hand's method... really... really does work (achoo)..."
But there was one thing she hadn't said.
Now that she had regained a little reason, she felt it would be too embarrassing.
Although it was soaked in ice water, whenever she thought about how these were the clothes Mr. Lynn wore every day, how they were full of his scent, wearing them like this made her feel as though he were wrapped around her. It made her heart feel all hot and restless, too.
And however stupid she might be, by now she couldn't possibly fail to realize that something really was wrong with her.
But she didn't dare ask again.
Yet what was with all these naughty images involving Mr. Lynn that kept popping into her head?! It felt... it felt as though her entire being had been contaminated by him!
o(╥﹏╥)o!
Seeing that she was doing a little better, Lynn turned his head and said with a serious look:
"Hang in there a little longer. We're almost there. Once we're back in Dark Night City, I'll find a proper solution for you. As a doctor, even though you're pretty useless, I absolutely won't give up on you. Yin Yi, you have to believe in yourself."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lynn (ó﹏ò｡)... but if you could remove the insults mixed into it every time you show concern for Yin Yi (achoo)... then... then I'd be even more grateful (achoo-)."
"..."
He hurried through the familiar Wandering Soul Alley with Yin Yi.
