My rest felt wild.
Disturbed.

As if my very being was thrown around in every direction.
Like this, I am somewhat glad to wake up again.
That's what I thought.

At some point, my pain completely vanished.
Not just an unfinished feel that it got better.
More like directly watching how a wound closes and then you know this won't hurt anymore.
This is how I feel now.

And so I step out of my tub.
To my surprise, I see something I didn't expect.

 

(E)

 

Truly, in front of me stand two similar insects.
Same stature, height, color.
I think I see double but for some reason, I am sure that the right one is Kyska.

 

(K)

 

I am confused. Kyska didn't seem like she couldn't cope with me, yet now there is a new one.
This is not really distressing, however, I get excited in a way.

 

"Scrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

(E)

 

There started a strange sound and I follow it to the source only to find...

 

(Suki)

 

This new one seems to be happy, while I panic internally.
Kyska shows some compassion if there is any way to note such a thing on her stiff insect face.
She already knows how I react if things like this happen.

And she is completely right!

 

(E)

"Three different sets! Each concentrated on another allocated space. Beautiful! They will give such a stabilized flight. Yet, they are so complicated. Even for a princess, this is uncommon. She must have good predispositions. The maintenance will be a piece of work, but don't worry we will keep them clean and able." (S)

 

I note that these things apparently ripped through my shirt, which now is just kept in place by a few joints.
They are huge, yet slender.
Emerging from close down my neck to close over my hip, they are folded behind my back.
Those are only the places where they are coming out from.
They extend so far that they reach down close to my knees.

They feel strange.
I know they are there.
I could feel the breeze on them when they moved seconds ago.

And now this insect is fondling them!!!

She is very careful with the touch, yet takes each of the six pieces and moves them separately.

 

(E)

 

This sensation is crazy.
I can feel them as a part of me, but they are so foreign.
And they feel delicate.
Extremely sensitive.
Each touch is as if I get touched where I shouldn't.

They aren't "such" places, right?

 

(K)

(S)

 

Maintained?
I have to keep them?
I know with this feeling that they might not be easy to remove.
Furthermore, they are extending from my spine.
This is no place you should casually rip things away from.

But keeping giant insect wings?
They are translucent and don't look bulky.
A little bit accommodating to my shape.
Yet, at the same time, this is sheer madness.
I've grown wings!

And they are going to maintain them?
What does that even mean?
I need to grant Suki they really do look complicated.
In terms of cleaning, I wouldn't even know how to reach them properly.
I have to be cleaned by them, right?
This, this is disturbing.

To have to rely on the help of others, just to maintain my body.
How shall I sleep?
On my stomach, it seems.
My back is obviously no option like this.

This is again too much and I fall down on my knees.
However, I need to take a bowed posture, because otherwise, those things are scraping the ground.

 

(K)

 

Growing back!?
Well, they did grow from nothing in the first place, so what do I know?
Yet like this, now I surely won't be able to get rid of them.

 

(E)

(S)

(K)

 

I really need to say you are doing a terrible job at this.
But I don't, as they might kill themselves for failure, as committed they are to their "roles".
Have I mentioned how weird it is to get your insect wings fondled by an insect?

 

(K)

 

Suki helps me carefully back up.
She is now a bit calmer, probably to not startle me any further.
Yet suddenly...

Did this thing just touch my butt!!?

 

(E)

(E)

(S)

 

Am I now really discussing with hive creatures how to live freely?

 

(E)

 

These two are tilting their heads at me as if I am crazy.

 

(S)
