Shinobu meets Eri

Eri

H-hello? Is someone there?

Kochou Shinobu

Good morning, Eri-chan. I'm Shinobu. How are you feeling today?

Eri

Are you... are you a doctor?

Eri

Please... no more tests...

Kochou Shinobu

No tests, I promise. I'm here to help you feel better.

Kochou Shinobu

Would you like to see some colorful medicine I made? It tastes like candy.

Eri

Like... candy?

Eri

(Her smile seems different... warmer...)

Kochou Shinobu

That's right. This one tastes like strawberry. Would you like to try it?

Eri

O-okay... Thank you, Shinobu-san.

Kochou Shinobu

You're very brave, Eri-chan. We'll get through this together, alright?

Kochou Shinobu

(I'll protect you from any demons, be they real or metaphorical.)
