I feel a warmth.
All throughout my body, I feel a warmth.
From outside my body, it's from her.
From inside my body, it's my own.

The heat inside, as if scorching my body... I understand that it was kindled by her.

The heat inside, no, the heat outside as well... it seems as if it will never subside.
The inner heat is enveloped by her body... unable to be released or dissipated anywhere. So, perhaps that's to be expected.
The outer heat emanates from her body... surely, it's directed at me. I want to think so, to feel it, to accept it.

The heat kindled within me, and the heat that envelops me from the outside.
Flushing from within, illuminated from without.

In the darkness of the night.
When I breathe in, her scent tells me of her presence.
When I listen closely, the sound of her breathing tells me of her presence.
When my skin tingles, the sensation tells me of her presence.

If I open my eyes, no, even without opening them... that warmth tells me of her presence.
That warmth, while conveying her presence, continues to make me yearn.

If I were to be greedy, I wish she had touched me a little more deeply.
I'm aware that I'm hoping and wishing for that.

But, the moment I become conscious of it, the inside of my head grows hot... my thoughts become flighty, and I can no longer think deeply.
It's not just my head. My whole body feels scorched... as if numb, and I can't move as I'd like.

But, for now, this is fine.
Held in her embrace, I have no intention of moving.
I just need to entrust my body and soul to her, so as not to wake her.
If she wants to sleep, I won't express any unnecessary desires.

I silently kept my eyes closed. Not that I could sleep, or do anything else, but...
Koai, still held by Snow, simply closed her eyes and basked in the warmth.
