Summary
Their mother’s gaze drops to Maki’s body, then sweeps back over to Mai. “Take care of yourself.”
The words settle heavy on Mai’s shoulders. Take care of yourself. Because no one else will, because I cannot, because Maki may not be able to anymore.
But this is what no one has ever understood: Mai and Maki are a singular entity. In order to take care of herself, Mai must also care for Maki, and vice versa. Maki spent years looking out for Mai, standing between her and their family, taking the punches and facing the punishments. The least Mai can do is repay the favor now, assuring Maki has even a chance at survival.
To take care of Maki is for Mai to take care of herself. This is what it means to be a twin.
mai stays with maki while she recovers from the burns she sustained in shibuya. it's the only way to assure maki is safe.
