I wonder what's causing the nightmares..

I do not know, but even if there is some outside force at work, the images are likely ones that would have come anyway.

[Megumi approaches Mitsuhide in the kitchen, padding softly inside. He is cooking, and as usual, their home smells wonderful. However, she knows that something is still bothering him, and she lets out a worried little sigh.]

Anata . . .

[She hovers behind him, laying a hand on his back gently.]

I knew you were having nightmares . . .

[He pauses in the middle of making the scrambled egg. A moment of silence, then a slow nod as he continues to stir.]

Of course. No doubt you heard me as I slept. I suspect I was talking, hmm?

[A sigh.]

They were to be expected, outside influence or none...

[foxy_physician]

[She sighs once again, rubbing her hand soothingly upon his back, conveying with touch her love for him and her presence.]

Yes, love. And you wake up bothered so often . . . I've been so worried . . .

[A bite to her lip.]

Well, I am glad that Kuromi-san has eased them for you . . .

[silk_in_ebony]

Please don't worry, Megumi. These are my burden to bear. I will be fine.

[He continues to work at his cooking, a careful look of calm on his face.]

Besides, I have a small respite now, hmm?

[A slight chuckle.]

Yes, but still...

Saa... Nightmares seem to be a common occurrence as of late.

This unworthy one apologizes for his behavior yesterday. He is relieved he wasn't affected more severely.
