This year was a very hard one for Naisha... things never got better. Her body was just constantly so weak, she felt so very tired from everything, even getting up in the morning. She slowly began closing up to everyone as everything seemed to pass in a haze, with her being unable to do anything. For weeks she was tried to stand up, but she never could do it. She tried to throw a ball or hold a sword, but her arms refused to hold anything that heavy. Eventually she completely closed up, she stopped talking to her mother and refused to open the door even to Alex, not wanting her friend to see her in her sad state, they had promised to visit that place Alex showed her everyday, but now she couldn't even get close to that climbing place now, let alone climb it. So she just locked her room, slowly withering away even more. She didn't even have the desire to leave the bed now, she just laid there, feeling as if the whole world was not mattering anymore. Suddenly someone knocked on the door... today she had not the strength and desire to even get up to lock it... She guessed who it was, so Naisha just laid there in her bed, in the dark room with the windows closed and the light blocked by covers. Nai felt the desire to see and hear Alex again, but didn't want her friend to see her like this. Now with the room almost as dark as night, that couldn't happen... [color=6ecff6]“Enter...”[/color] Nai managed to weakly say, not sure if the redhead will hear her. In reality because she locked herself away, she even ate almost nothing anymore, her body was already as weak as it can be. ---------------------- [b]“This cannot continue anymore...”[/b] Rika said quietly to her husband, watching Alex waiting by Nai's door. She too was caught by terror as it became clear Nai isn't recovering. It hurt so much when her daughter began distancing herself from everyone, even Alex. Today though, something happened that caught Rika by surprise and gave her some hope. While looking at Alex, who was waiting by Nai's door, the woman heard a very low frail whisper. It was almost like the wind was playing tricks on her, but it was indeed her daughter!” I will be leaving for the moment, look after the two of them. I need to see someone.” Rika said to Nai's father and quickly stormed out their home. She needed to give Naisha something to get herself focused on. Nai always loved blitzball and fighting, now that she couldn't do any of that, it only added to her self-destructive behavior. That's why her mother just thought up a plan that just may work. Marching with long steps, even running actually, she finally was by the home of Wakka and Lulu... She knocked on the door and the man appeared on the doorway. Rika greeted him quickly and asked a single question.[b]” Is Lady Lulu home at the moment? I need to ask her something...”[/b]
