A Visit (ch3)

EARLY RELEASE FOR HIGHER-PLEDGING PATRONS! THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER MONTH!

Not really a drabble... But I'm putting this into this collection because I don't want to make so many separate Dianakko oneshots.

This one still involves "a visit" so it fits here. Also, this one isn't explicitly romantic, and none of the other chapters in this collection have been either, so it still fits in the non-shipping aspect (though it can very easily be shipping, if you squint haha~)

Also added in a bit of Blue Team stuff here in the beginning because I'm a sucker for it. Also, in some original notes from the creators, I believe it was said Avery doesn't like Diana all that much. But in episode 12 she seemed all right with her. I just wrote her as if she were intimidated by Diana in this, since I wrote it weeks before episode 12 aired.

Also because of that, I wrote this thinking Diana's team had a room like Akko's, with bunk beds and whatnot, not a suite. As such, a few details about her room may be a bit inaccurate, but I tried to fix as many as I could.

														  Chapter 3.

It's somewhat of a busy evening for Diana and her teammates this Friday night.

Presently, Hannah and Barbara are scurrying around, chittering excitedly with one another as they pack small hand bags full of toiletries and a change of clothes. They had made plans to have a sleepover with Avery and her team tonight into tomorrow.

When they'd come to ask Diana if such an event would be all right with her, she had consented easily – not easily enough to be considered indifferent, but easily enough to let them know they were free to do as they pleased, within rules and reason.

Diana has known from the very beginning of their friendship with Avery. She also knows of Avery's attitude towards Diana herself; she often makes it perfectly clear that she feels intimidated by Diana and wants nothing to do with her.

And while Diana normally wouldn't care what people think of her, or think twice about what their opinions meant, Avery is a special case, only because Diana doesn't want Hannah and Barbara to feel influenced. She doesn't want her's and Avery's tense relationship to impede on theirs as they try to keep a foot on each side of the line.

Therefore, Diana always makes it clear they are free to see Avery whenever they please, so long as there aren't more pressing matters to attend to.

So understandably, they are excited this evening as they finish packing their sleepwear. Diana watches them from the desk chair, offering small reminders about the things they might need.

At last, they feel they're ready.

"Okay!" Hannah declares. "I think that should be it."

"Then we'll be heading out now!"

"I bet this'll be nice for you too, Diana."

"Yeah! You can like, have some quiet time without us tonight."

Diana stands and waves her hand dismissively.

"Enjoy yourselves tonight, girls. Should you need anything, be sure to come back and retrieve it before curfew."

"We will!"

"We totally will!"

Diana nods and sends them off with a smile.

But as soon as the door has closed and she finds herself alone, that smile vanishes.

Whether she cares to admit it or not, she's found herself smiling around the two of them a bit more often than she does otherwise.

But now, knowing she'll be completely alone for the entire night naturally acts as a bit of a depressant.

With Hannah and Barbara constantly around, there's always something to keep Diana's attention occupied, some conversation to listen to or join in on.

But now, with them gone, the silence feels deafening. She can already feel her mind wandering, back to things she'd rather not remember...

Shaking her head, she heaves a sigh and turns back to her desk and her opened textbooks to resume her studies.

She toils away an hour in silence, scanning the pages almost mechanically, the only sounds being the occasional turn of a page or her own sighs. Typically, she would hear Hannah and Barbara walking around the room, shifting in their beds, murmuring together, giggling softly.

But now it's just... uncomfortably quiet.

Silence never used to bother her as much as it does now that she knows how nice it is to have other people around.

Her mind keeps threatening to lapse back into unfavorable tangents, things she knows will be keeping her up all night now, sleeping alone. She doesn't realize she's been biting her lip until she closes the book and lets out another sigh.

The candles and sprites flicker and sway, their motion providing the only other feigned signs of life about the room.

She doesn't want to sleep just yet. She doesn't want to blow them out.

But a glance at her alarm clock tells her it is almost past weekend curfew now, and lights-out will soon follow.

Therefore, she stands and cleans up her study area, walks to her dresser, and pulls out her long, white sleep robes before heading into the bathroom.

By the time she has changed, brushed her teeth, and put away her neatly-folded her uniform, it is undoubtedly time for her to attempt sleep.

But as she takes a seat on her lone bed and stares across the room at the empty ones, a sinking feeling settles into her stomach. She picks up her hairbrush and begins to comb through, just to give herself something to do, something to focus on-

A sudden flurry of movement and sound from outside makes Diana jolt and drop her hair brush. A patter of frantic, but still somehow quiet knocks, sounds unmistakably on the other side of her door.

As the initial start dwindles, Diana puts her brush back onto the nightstand and gets up. Making her way across the room, she puts a hand on her hip in somewhat of a reprimanding gesture, though secretly she is relieved to have the distraction.

As she opens the door, she's already scolding Hannah or Barbara or both of them.

"Girls, what did you forget? It is past cur-"

"D-Dianaaaaa!"

But it isn't either of her teammates standing before her now.

None other than Atsuko Kagari is huddled up against the door frame, whimpering and wailing dramatically.

Diana gasps and takes a step back.

"A-Akko?"

"Diana, pleeeeease!" she half-cries, half-whispers. "Y-You gotta lemme in! If I get caught out of my room past curfew, it could be the last demerit I need to get expelled!"

"And just what are you doing out past curfew?" With the surprise now wearing off, Diana puts on her typical, unimpressed expression, lowers her tone, and narrows her eyes.

Akko sniffles and checks over her shoulder like a fugitive, then babbles on in a hushed voice.

"I-I was just giving something back to Amanda and then I ended up staying for a while and chatting. B-By the time I left, it was almost past curfew but I really had to go to the bathroom so I tried to be quick b-but by the time I got out it was already too late and there were security guards patrolling the halls!

"B-But I didn't stay out on purpose! It was just an accident! I didn't mean to! A-And there's no way I can make it back to my room tonight, s-so I'm really really sorry but p-please lemme in, Diana!"

She seems to say it all in one breath, and ends with her tearful eyes wobbling and her hands clasped tightly before her chest, beseeching Diana in her nightgown as though she were an angel in a white dress.

Diana can hardly comprehend the lunacy of the situation, but at the same time she isn't surprised at all. Though she does have to think this through for a moment; if she permits Akko into her room, that means she'll have to stay here for the night.

Well, Diana just so happened to have found herself longing for company this evening. It seems her prayers have been answered, just perhaps not quite in the way she'd been expecting.

She grimaces, runs a hand back through her hair, and heaves another sigh.

"It appears you truly were on the receiving end of some unfortunate circumstances and poor timing, and that breaking curfew was never your intention."

Akko nods vigorously.

"C-Can you take pity on meeee?"

Diana closes her eyes to ponder for a moment, then blinks one open to look her over.

Akko's hair is frazzled, as is her uniform, and there are pitiful tears streaming down the sides of her face. Diana knows firsthand just how many demerits Akko has probably accumulated on her permanent record, since she herself often gives them to her. But she certainly doesn't want to be responsible for Akko's potential expulsion.

Therefore, she gives her answer with a dip of her head.

"Very well. Come inside."

Akko absolutely brightens up as though a switch has been flicked.

"R-Really?!"

"Lower your voice or you will be apprehended, at which point there will be little else I can do for you."

Akko instantly slams her mouth shut and checks behind her shoulder again. Diana steps back and opens the door wider for her, and Akko all but stumbles in and collapses on the floor.

"Thank you, Dianaaa! Thank you!"

"Did I not just warn you to keep your voice down?" she grunts.

Akko slaps a hand to her mouth and mumbles an apology.

Just as Diana starts mentally debating what she's gotten herself into, Akko sits up and speaks in a much more normal tone.

"Huh? Where're Hannah and Barbara?"

The main reason Akko had run to Diana's room for help was not only because it had been close by, but also too because she knew Diana would probably still be awake studying. She was prepared to spend the night here with all three of them, even if it meant constant teasing and snickering from Hannah and Barbara.

Diana makes her way to a small closet beside the dresser and opens it.

"They have gone elsewhere for tonight. They are with Avery."

"Oooh, a sleepover huh? Well then, at least they won't be hounding me all night for this. I guess that's best for everyone."

"Best for everyone, she says..." Diana mumbles as much to herself as she reaches for a folded blanket on a shelf. She pulls it out, then turns back to Akko. "Even though I am permitting you to stay the night, there are strict conditions you must adhere to. Firstly, you will be awake and out of this room by 6:30 sharp. There should be a brief break in patrols at that time, and you should be able to make it back to your own room by then."

Akko, still kneeling on the floor, nods in agreement to the first condition. Diana continues.

"Secondly, you will not hinder me from my rest in any way. Regardless of the fact that tomorrow is a weekend morning, I still have matters to attend to."

Akko nods twice.

"Thirdly," Diana goes on. "You will speak nothing more of this than you have to. Tell your teammates where you spent the night, and be honest with them. But there is no need to announce it to the entire school. While occasional sleepovers permitted by the professors - such as Hannah's and Barbara's - are allowed, arrangements such as this are not. I am breaking several rules by allowing you to stay here, and I do hope you appreciate that."

"I do!" Akko whines. "I really do!"

Diana nods.

"Finally, you will sleep there." She nods to Akko's current spot on the floor. "Just because my teammates are absent does not mean their sleeping quarters are available for you to use." With this, Diana hands Akko the folded blanket. She then heads into the bathroom and selects a clean hand towel, and gives that to her as well. "Unfortunately, this is the best I can do for you, given the circumstances."

But Akko shakes her head immediately.

"N-No! This is fine, Diana! This is perfect! Th-Thank you so much."

"Very well." Diana makes her way around the room and blows out the candles as she goes, saving the one on her desk for last. "Now then, if we have reached a mutual understanding about this situation, I shan't be hearing a peep from you tonight, and you will be gone by morning."

"Y-Yeah! You got it!"

"Very good." Diana pulls down the sheets on her bed and quietly lays herself down on her side, facing the bookshelves away from her classmate. "Then I bid you goodnight, Akko."

"Y-Yeah... Night, Diana..."

Akko sits up for a moment longer, staring at Diana's back. She can just barely see her from around the corner of the nearby bookshelf.

She's still dumbfounded, not only by the fact that Diana has actually let her in, but also by a lot of other things.

Like how quickly Diana had adjusted to the shock of this whole situation, and how she'd been almost inviting in a way. She'd made very fair requests of Akko in exchange for letting her stay the night, and she hadn't been particularly accusatory towards her for breaking curfew.

It all seems to have happened so quickly, so easily. Akko really hadn't even been expecting Diana to let her in. But now, only three minutes later, here she is, holding a blanket and a makeshift pillow, and expected to go to sleep.

It still doesn't feel real. She thinks she might be dreaming.

Akko takes another moment or so simply to stare at Diana's back. Her wavy hair is pooling onto her pillow, and her shoulders are rising and falling gently. The blankets now cover most of her body, but Akko can still see the faint brightness of her pretty nightgown in the darkness.

She spends a few moments absorbing it all, considering herself lucky that Diana had been in such a good mood.

At last, she decides she'd better get to sleep if she needs to be out of here by 6:30.

So she places the folded towel on the floor and spreads the blanket out over herself. She decides to lie down here where Diana will be able to see her if she wakes. This way, she'll know if Akko is still here when she should be, or gone when she shouldn't be. But Akko turns and faces away from her classmate, mainly just so that if Diana were to wake in the middle of the night and look her way, she won't see Akko's drooling face.

Akko tries to make as little noise as possible as she arranges herself as best she can. The floor is hard, but at least there's a carpet, and the blanket is large enough that she can cover herself and still have some to spare. So she stuffs the extra length of the blanket beneath herself to combat the stiff floor, before finally lying still on her side.

She stares up at the wide windows covered by curtains, half-expecting to find herself back in her own bed every time she blinks. But she stays here, in Diana's room, just a few feet away from the white-haired witch as she sleeps.

Akko can hear her breathing softly, calmly. It serves to ease her troubled mind, allowing her to relax now that she isn't at such great risk of being found out.

And little does she know that her own presence is actually benefitting Diana as well.

As she lies here, attempting to invite sleep, Diana can hear Akko shifting about on the floor, grunting slightly or yawning every now and again. These are the same sounds she'll often hear every night from Hannah and Barbara.

Even now, on a night when her teammates are gone, she can still feel a sense of normalcy, despite the situation.

At the very least, she isn't alone. She has to admit she's grateful to Akko for that.

Diana trusts Akko will keep her word about leaving on-time tomorrow morning and keeping all of this a secret. Should something go amiss and Akko sleeps in, Diana can cloak her in a temporary invisibility spell, or speak on her behalf if she is caught, at the very least.

The two of them settle in before long, on this night that has a strange pleasantness about it.

It's the feeling of doing something neither has ever done before; sleeping in a room with someone they've never slept beside before.

It's the feeling of just almost breaking a few rules, but not exactly breaking them.

It's the feeling of content, of doing something different.

Something that can only happen this way once.

Something they'll both only ever remember as being tonight.

Unlike most situations where they find themselves together, it is calm, quiet, and peaceful.

And it's special.

Akko isn't sure if Diana has already fallen asleep or not, but listening to her steady breathing is what eventually lulls Akko into slumber as well. Despite the fact that she's sleeping in the middle of the floor in someone else's dorm room, Akko sleeps rather deeply for a while.

But at one point in the night, she stirs and finds herself blinking her eyes open groggily. At first, she isn't sure if she's awake or asleep, and it takes her a moment to get her bearings.

Why am I on the floor? Did I fall out of bed again...? Oh! That's right!

She still can't really believe she's in Diana's room. Shifting the blankets a bit, Akko rolls onto her back, looking around the room, which is still vacant.

She really hasn't just been dreaming all of this. She's really here.

Quietly, she turns herself onto her other side, facing Diana's side of the room. She can't really see her other than a rise in the blankets and a bit of white on the pillow.
The room is still cloaked in darkness. There is a faint glow of moonlight pushing against the other side of the curtains, outlining everything in dull silver highlights. The small alarm clock on the nightstand tells her it is almost 3 in the morning.

All right! Still have 3 more hours to sleep! I thought I was waking up cuz I had to get going, but not yet! Lucky me!

With a grin, Akko lays herself back down on her towel-pillow and readjusts her blanket.

But before she can close her eyes and get back to sleep, something stirs in the quiet room. And Akko knows it isn't herself.

A slight creaking noise comes from Diana's bed as she shifts in her sleep, but that isn't the noise that draws Akko's attention. It is followed by another noise, one that is immediately more concerning.

Diana makes a small sound, somewhere in between a gasp and a whimper. It startles Akko to the point of sitting up.

She's never heard Diana sound like that before.

It was just so... weak. Vulnerable. Scared.

Akko looks toward her classmate, able only to see the silver layers of her hair across her pillow. She is still and quiet for a moment after that, and Akko is almost ready to lie back down.

But then it happens again.

Diana draws in a breath, and it's quiet - but so is everything else, which allows Akko to hear it clearly.

Her breath trembles ever-so-slightly. She isn't being as loud as Akko would imagine most other people would be if they were having trouble sleeping. Diana is being almost impossibly quiet, as though she's even suppressing herself when she's unconscious.

Had there been even one other sound, such as the ventilation system going off, Akko never would have heard Diana at all.

But now she is hearing her, and she isn't the type of person who will just go back to bed when she knows someone else can't sleep. Even if that person is Diana.

Especially if that person is Diana.

Slowly, carefully, Akko pushes the blankets off of herself and stretches out her legs in turn, trying to stay as quiet as possible. The last thing she wants to do is make a loud noise and end up scaring Diana awake from whatever nightmare she's having.

The thought that this is what's happening - that Diana is trapped within her own mind - is what brings a determined spark into Akko's eyes. She doesn't feel tired or groggy anymore, despite the time and situation. All she knows is that someone she cares about needs help.

That's why Akko takes extreme caution in standing and stepping forward in this foreign room. She doesn't want to kick anything or stumble, or something like that.

Times like these, when she wants to help someone, are perhaps some of the most miraculous in the sense that she does her best not to be as clumsy as she normally might be.

To her relief, she reaches Diana's bed without a hitch, then gulps as she looks over her classmate.

Diana is still lying on her side facing the shelves, as she had been when she'd first gone to sleep. But the blankets have been ruffled a bit, as though she's been jolting.

Akko's thankful for the fact that she herself has woken up. Otherwise, she never would have known Diana was like this. Diana would have suffered from her nightmare, and Akko would have been none the wiser.

With how reserved and private Diana is, even when she's experiencing a nightmare, Akko has to wonder just how many times she's suffered them, and not even Hannah or Barbara had noticed.

But that doesn't matter. At least this time, if no other time, I can help...

However, Akko doesn't want to be hovering over Diana when she wakes, as that could startle her further. Therefore, Akko slowly lowers herself to take a seat on the edge of Diana's bed, and looks over her once more.

Now, she can see Diana's face. Her jawline is taut, and her lips are quivering every few seconds. Her eyebrows are furrowed, and her breathing is erratic, coming in short, clipped little bouts.

Akko feels a wave of tension run through herself and gulps again. She isn't sure about how she should do this, but she just knows she has to do it.

So she reaches out and gently – gently – rests a hand on Diana's shoulder.

The action causes Diana to jolt beneath her touch, but she doesn't wake. Akko bites her lip and gives her classmate a small shake.

"Diana...?" Keeping her voice to a whisper, she taps her shoulder. "Diana?"

The white-haired witch still doesn't wake, but she whimpers again, more audibly this time. Whatever's happening to her in her nightmare, it sounds like it hurts.

Akko shakes her shoulder again.

"H-Hey, Diana...?" She raises her voice just a little, urgent to wake her, but not to frighten her.

Akko is relieved when her methods seem to do the trick.

Diana makes another tired sound and curls in on herself a bit. But a second later, she opens her eyes, and a gasp flies from her lips. She's clearly disoriented and still uncertain about whether or not she's awake.

Akko quickly jumps at the chance to help her realize.

"D-Diana!"

Upon seeing Akko there so close, Diana pushes herself up right away, eyes wide, clutching the blankets to her chest.

"A-Akko?"

"Y-Yeah! I'm here for tonight, remember? You're letting me stay."

Diana seems overwhelmed in that moment. There's a thin veil of sweat on her forehead, and her blue eyes are wide in shock. She looks like an animal being hunted, still fearful.

But before Akko can say or ask anything, Diana is already running a sleeve across her face and letting out a sigh.

"I apologize," she says, hiding her face in the crook of her elbow. "I must have been making noise and woken you..."

"No. It's okay..." Akko's hand is no longer on Diana's shoulder, but she longs to reach out and touch her, to let Diana know she's still here. She won't go anywhere unless Diana wants her to.

Akko lets her hands rest over the blanket in Diana's lap, keeping about a foot of space between the two of them. She watches Diana wipe her face and forehead, trying to smooth out her ruffled hair and nightgown. She's still breathing harder than she should be though, and Akko's still worried.

"Hey, Diana..."

But this time, the white-haired witch doesn't respond to her directly. She only lets out another difficult breath.

Akko wants to give her a hug. More than anything. Right now, she wants to hug Diana even more badly than she wants to become like Chariot.

But she controls herself, holding back, knowing it might not be right. Yet she doesn't want to just leave Diana like this and go back to bed.

"Diana...?" she asks softly. "Are you okay...?"

Akko curls her fingers into the blankets, worry thick in her voice and evident in all of her features.

Diana makes a sorry effort at nodding.

"I am... fine..."

But everything about her betrays those words, even the voice she'd spoken them with. Her breath trembles again, and this time, a small, unmistakable sob works its way out from the back of her throat.

Akko can tell she's swallowing down more, and it's making her chest jolt with hiccups. Diana is fighting against her emotions with everything she has.

Something tells Akko that if Diana had been alone here tonight, she might've cried freely. But since Akko is here now, Diana is fighting to keep up appearances.

Diana still refuses to look at her, even now as she fruitlessly tries to reassure her.

"I am fine... you should... go back to sleep..."

But Akko can't do that, and they both seem to know this. It's been killing her, just waiting anxiously and watching Diana struggle to breathe.

She can't take it any longer. She can't.

Even if it might not be what Diana wants, Akko just can't stop herself. It's in her nature, and she doesn't know anything else she can do other than hug her.

So she reaches out both arms without a sound, and wraps them around Diana. Some fragile sound falls from Diana's lips, but she can't even bring herself to speak.

Akko leans forward as closely as she can and gives her a gentle squeeze. Only now does she realize Diana's shivering.

Akko rests her chin on Diana's shoulder, encircling one arm around her shoulders and the other across her side and back. She can feel Diana's heartbeat striking hard against her chest, demonstrating just how terrified she had been by her nightmare, despite her desperate efforts to conceal it.

Diana doesn't know how to react to the embrace at first. Nothing like this has ever happened before. She doesn't know what to do.

A small, prideful part of herself longs to shoo Akko away.

But a much larger, more honest part wants to keep her here.

What happens in this room tonight will never see the light of day, anyway. They won't be telling anyone else about this.

Therefore, Diana decides to let herself be honest.

With a small, broken sound, she lifts her arms and clings to Akko's back.

For some reason, she feels Akko is one of the few, if not the only person, she'd ever feel comfortable enough to do this with. She knows Akko won't tease her about it or tell the whole school about it. She won't use this against Diana in any way.

And Diana has no real reason to feel embarrassed by this, other than her own imposed ideals.

Once she understands this much, she's able to allow herself to try and calm down.

Akko is glad that Diana isn't pushing her away, and surprised that she's actually returning the embrace. Though Diana isn't talking, her actions speak volumes.

Akko doesn't let her go. She stays close, offering whatever support she can, physical, emotional, or otherwise.

As the minutes go on, she feels Diana's shaking gradually come to a stop, and the thick thudding of her pulse begins to lose intensity.

Diana has managed to regain most of her composure by now.

But it is Akko who has started to whimper.

She nestles her face into Diana's shoulder, squeezing her a little tighter. Diana's pain is hurting Akko, too. She just wants her to be okay.

Diana can tell as much now. She isn't surprised, considering the kind of person Akko is. She feels others' pain more poignantly than her own. It is an empathy Diana lacks, envies, and appreciates.

So she does all she can think to do and tightens her own hold on Akko, patting her back reassuringly.

"Akko," she murmurs. "You should go back to sleep."

Diana's voice is calm now, unwavering, unhindered. Akko can tell she isn't distressed anymore, and that allows Akko herself to start feeling better.

Diana's words have a hidden meaning, one Akko can manage to decipher. If she's telling Akko it's all right for her to leave and go back to sleep, that means she's fulfilled her objective in helping Diana feel better.

She feels Diana wouldn't be telling her to go if she really still needs her to stay.

But still, Akko lingers for just a moment longer.

The night is so tranquil and quiet, and now with everything settling down, she has to pause and appreciate it all. She's never gotten to hug Diana like this before, let alone has she ever gotten to be hugged back by her. It feels really nice.

Maybe Diana thinks so too, because she doesn't urge Akko to go a second time.

They stay like this for a while longer, harboring a mutual understanding about the events that have taken place here tonight.

At last, Akko draws herself away. They let each other go, and then have to try to figure out what expressions to show one another.

Diana tries to remain reserved while Akko is a little sheepish.

"Ah... guess I'd better get some more sleep. I gotta be outta here in two hours."

Diana nods.

Neither of them address what's just happened, as though verbal acknowledgement of it may complicate things somehow.

But when their eyes do meet, Akko can decipher Diana's gratitude more clearly than she can read any magical alphabet.

Akko smiles and dips her head a little, then stands.

Diana watches her make her way back to her spot on the floor, not surprised at all when Akko stubs her toe on the leg of a chair.

Diana cannot help but feel guilty about having Akko go back to the floor after she's just saved her from those dreadful nightmares. But there is no way she'll offer her own bed, or either of her teammates', to Akko.

Therefore, the least Diana feels she can do is wish her a restful sleep.

"Good night, Akko."

As Akko lies her head down on her towel and curls herself up in her blanket, she can't help but widen her smile at the sound of Diana's voice.

"Night, Diana."

Diana dips her head, then lies herself down as well.

"Rest well."

"Yeah. You, too."

Nothing else needs to be said.

And after that, each of them does sleep soundly until dawn.

. . .

By the time Diana has awoken, Akko is already gone. Somehow, she's managed to slip out without waking Diana, and she's even made an effort at folding the blanket and towel she'd used, which Diana appreciates.

On top of those items rests a small piece of notebook paper that was evidently borrowed from Diana's desk. As she gets out of bed, Diana retrieves the paper and observes the message scribbled there:

Thanks, Diana!

Diana smiles to herself and tucks the paper away into the drawer of her nightstand.

"I should be the one saying that."

Perhaps one day, she'll tell her as much.

But for today, Diana tidies up the room, and welcomes Hannah and Barbara back a few minutes later.

------------

A/N: I will use just about any excuse/scenario to write fluff, as you've probably guessed by now.

I feel Diana is this kind of person - private, quiet, probably suffers from nightmares. Probably about her family/the pressures she's got weighing down on her shoulders and all that. Maybe Akko can help ;~;
