... Would he let me?

[ She's never hugged a pig before ]

[foreversweaterweather]

Sure. As long as you're nice to him. Waddles loves hugs.

[momming]

[ She just gently holds out her arms for Waddle, then. ]

[foreversweaterweather]

[ Here is a pig!! Mabel gently hands him over. He is the squishiest, friendliest most huggable pig on earth.

She takes a seat next to Otome and watches the hugs begin. ]

[momming]

[ And she carefully brings the pig closer to hug him with a shaky sigh, closing her eyes. ]

Thank you, Mabel.

[foreversweaterweather]

[ She smiles at first, seeing her hug Waddles, but it fades into a look of concern and guilt. ]

So...you got all healed up, right?

[momming]

Mm, I did. I'll just have to take it easy for a while.

[ No more hitting people with bats. ]

[foreversweaterweather]

Okay. I'm glad someone else helped you. [ a little watery smile ]

[momming]

Thanks to your help, of course.

... Are you all right, Mabel? [ WHY WERE YOU THERE ]

[foreversweaterweather]

[ she pulls her knees up to her chest and draws her arms around them. ]

Yeah, I'm okay.

[momming]

... You don't look okay.

[ gently. ]

[foreversweaterweather]

[ she grabs onto a lock of her hair and starts chewing on the end of it absentmindedly ]

I just...wish I could've done something to help! That's all.

[momming]

What are you talking about? You've already been a huge help.

[ No one else has given her a pig!! ]

[foreversweaterweather]

[ she hunches in on herself ]

Well, it doesn't feel like it! I couldn't do anything at the trial, and then I couldn't do anything to help you...

[momming]

Oh? Who was it who brought my bag, I wonder?

[foreversweaterweather]

Does that still count? Even though I couldn't use anything in it to help you?

[momming]

It most certainly counts. It means I didn't have to wait to get treated.

[ Every second counts! ]
