"If she’s your friend, she will still treat you as a friend no matter what you become."
Willow had always been protective of her best friend.
"But I, Sean Lennon, used to have a lot of friends too.
"After my downfall, weren’t you the only one who stayed by my side, taking care of me and never forsaking me?"
Sean held out his hand slowly and fixed Willow's hair as he spoke.
"Never forsaking... Don't be ridiculous.
"I'm just helping you because you can't take care of yourself."
Willow shook her head, shook Sean's hand away, and blushed.
She thought the term "never forsaking" should be used in a romantic relationship, not her relationship with Sean.
"Didn't you agree to be my girlfriend?
"What's the matter? Are you going back on your word after getting off the hot air balloon?"
Sean deliberately teased Willow as he laughed.
"What... what I meant was that I'll think about it when you get back on your feet, okay?
"Not now."
Willow dried Sean's feet with her head down. Then she picked up the water and prepared to leave the room.
"Soon."
Sean looked at Willow's back and whispered one word.
"Soon?"
Willow paused and asked as she stopped walking.
"... Nothing. You should rest early."
Sean paused for a moment before shaking his head and replied with a smile.
