Mitsuki blinked, wondering if summer beckoned this blue bug. Her mind wandered as she stood there in the doorway.

"A . . .what?" Mitsuki walked out, her bare feet tickled by the grass. She has never seen such a beautiful big, it's round blue wings fluttering in the air. Mitsuki's elaborate jade eyes watched curiously to the blue bug.

Mitsuki walked out and stood there, watching the butterfuly; the corner of her lip twitched as she smiled excitedly. Mitsuki smiled, like she always did. This beautiful bug flying to her, landed on her extended towards it. Her smile widened, reaching her eyes.

"MITSUKI!" Mitsuki quickly turned around to see her father with a frightened expression, he immediately ran to her; picking her up and rushing her inside. "Mitsuki, what did we say about going outside??" he panted; scared.

"Gomen, Otou-san. But i just saw that butterfly an-" "Don't go outside!"

"Doushite Otou-san??" Mitsuki asked perplexed. "Why can't i go outside like everyone else??"

"It's because i don't want to risk losing you again!" He held her close.

" . . .Otou-san . ." Mitsuki muttered, she remembered the last time she went outside; running. It made her throat dry, her coughing violent as blood leaked out of her mouth. she could feel her throat contrast around the tumor. That was only a month ago.

"Mitsuki, don't go outside. We're setting up another sugery for you, the pills are working- but i want your tumor gone. Then we can move on to your eye condition." He sighed, his lip quivering.

"Otou-san, don't cry for me. Egao. Egao nee?" Mitsuki asked, wanting him to smile. she smiled like she always had, but wished for her father the same.
