   Summary

   Her face was stiff with stress even as she slept. Her mouth and hands shifted every few minutes. He sighed, propping up his chin as he watched her fitful rest.

   Aoi and Inosuke aren't great at communicating, but they are trying - and with the people important to them fading away one by one, they might just need each other to keep going forward.

   Set 10 years post-canon.
