Moved by his sincerity, Tama teared up and replied, "I'm really glad you're okay."
From there, Tama devoted herself entirely to his rehabilitation, and somehow, within about a week, Rafayel was back to normal.
It was an unusually fast recovery, but it was likely because he was aided by the use of light magic he had cast on himself, which helped his healing proceed more quickly than normal.
He also learned from Tama that Thomas had been checking in on him whenever he found time during the period Rafayel was unconscious. Despite normally being overly affectionate, Thomas had apparently just sat quietly at his bedside, watching his sleeping face without ever once laying a hand on him.
Is he still feeling guilty about hitting me…?Maybe he won't touch me anymore unless I make the first move?
That thought brought a small pang of loneliness to Rafayel's chest.
