May 30th/ I.J.C. 196 / The Stellar, Entertainment Area./ Araya's POV

Staring into her phone, Araya heard the sound of the pod opening, just before there was a group of kids who yelled out loudly saying their mobile suit got destroyed and searching far and wide for the culprit who did it, well, they never found since Yoha set the pod to private like many others.

Yoha came out along with her Robot, Haro, it was quite fast, considering she just entered about 15 minutes. "You come out quite fast, I thought you would be in there for at least an hour or something." getting up from the bench, Araya walked toward her daughter who rubbed her eyes tiredly, it seemed so excited before, why was she so tired now?

"How long…was I in the pod?" Yoha asks, her eyes are trying to shut down, and her voice is faint, almost whispering. 

"Around 15 minutes. Is the machine that boring?" Araya answers her daughter's question, is the machine that boring? She never used it before but for Yoha who is very enthusiastic about mobile suits to come out looking tired, or is it something else? 

"No…It was…fun…I just…want to sleep-" Yoha's body suddenly fell forward and Araya caught her in time before she could hit the floor. 

"Y-yoha?! Yoha?!" Checking her pulse, it seemed normal, albeit slower than most, her breathing was calm, and her complexion was a bit pale from tiredness. "She is sleeping…" Araya was sure that her daughter's body was normal, it just… experienced sudden tiredness after the state of focus, but that shouldn't make someone fall like this…

Without delaying any further, Araya called for the nearest worker and asked them to guide them toward the medical room.

".... complexion is normal, there isn't anything wrong with her body…" Urgg…who is the one speaking? The voice was that of a man…Slowly I tried to open my eyes, only to see a flash of bright light enter, making me squint.

"Ah, Yoha!" Before I could even properly get up, I was taken into a hug. A warm feeling entered my body, and slowly, I returned the hug, albeit confused as to where I was.

The hug lasts only a minute. I want it to be longer, to indulge in the affection she shows me more, but good times have to end. When Mama released me, I finally understood what was going on—well, at least I had some clue of it.

I was in a medical bay, with the doctor who had just finished his examination on me. I got a pretty good idea of what was going on, I probably collapsed, don't know why though.

"Incredible, I thought you were going to sleep for a few more hours due to how tired your body was. But to recover in such a short time, truly young people have a lot of energy." The doctor chuckled to himself as he got up and took one of the candies from the basket on the cabinet. "Take this, young one, sugar will help increase your energy." 

"Ah, thank you, doctor." I take it and immediately pop it into my mouth, the sweetness of the sugar bursts out, filling my mouth immediately.

Seeing me eat my candy, the doctor nodded in satisfaction. "Well then, let her rest a bit more. If there is a problem, you know where to go." With that as a parting word, he left Mama and me alone to go back to his office.

Mama got up and bowed to him as a thank you, then she turned toward me. Sitting down on her chair, Mama releases a sigh. "Are you ok, Yoha? No place hurts, right?" I shake my head at Mama's question.

"I'm fine. In fact, I feel better than before." That was true. It felt as if my muscles were adapting to my body. As I jumped out of bed to demonstrate my physical capability, Mama stopped me.

"No, you need rest." She said sternly, and all I could do under her gaze was obey. 

"Ok, mama…" Mama doesn't use that kind of voice with me much, meaning she was really worried about me, which made me feel good, though I was really okay.

"But…can I rest in our room? I don't feel comfortable staying here." I said, using my child voice and appearance to the fullest, under my pitiful gaze, Mama could do nothing but crumble her defense and let out a smile.

"Fine, but promise me you will sleep, ok?" 

"Mmh! I promise!" I said and hugged her tightly, a gesture which Mama returned, my heart warming up more and more, beating with each second, as if saying that I did good, and I am a good girl just like what I want to be.

I wanted to respond to my heart but I was indulging in the warm hug of Mama, too busy to respond.

After the hug was done, which took 5 minutes for me to release after I was satisfied with it, we made our way back toward our room.

Which was…very luxurious, that was the only word that came to mind, the room was elegant in every way of the word, there were no dust spots, every painting was there for a reason, the way they positioned the table and the kitchen was very beautiful. 

The fridge was full of items, both for cooking and just random snacks, though I suspect we won't be using it much since Mama can't cook, and by that I mean she will turn anything, even bread into charcoal if she uses the pan to heat it.

And I can do a little bit, well, learning how to make a snack from Grandma Judy, and the snack Sylvia often wants to try to make with me. That girl is surprisingly good with her hand, making a lot of delicious snacks.

So I can cook a bit. Not good but edible enough, with actually decent taste. 

As I marveled at the room, I heard a loud tap from the bed. Mama was sitting on the bed and waiting for me. I made my way toward the bed and lay down on it. Mama put the cover over me and patted my head.

"Sleep no, we can go out to play more tomorrow, but for now, you better sleep, ok?" 

"Ok…can I…no, can we go to the karaoke next?" Withdrawing what I want to say, I change it to other things. I want to go to the simulation again but…I don't think I should, they…make me feel something I don't want to ever feel again.

"Sure, whatever you wish to do, baby. Now sleep for Mama, ok?" With a kiss planted on my forehead, I nod to her words and then slowly fall to sleep.
