Unknown to the weary girl who approached her, those magic words resonated with some deep impulse in the back of Miyume's mind. It had been a while since she'd heard them spoken quite so plainly in such a straightforward manner and the effect was powerful. It was almost like an invisible switch had been flipped. Almost immediately, all traces of stubbornness disappeared.
"Oh, I don't need a nurse," Miyume said quickly, looking so contrite, one might think she was a little kid who'd just been caught redhanded stealing from the cookie jar. "But I could use some help with my books and getting to that table over there."
She nodded toward the table she'd been heading for. It was obvious that her books were starting to slip out of her grasp though her grip on them remained strangely loose.
