**keep playing the song**

Nozomi is hot as fire. She is so warm and the blankets are so soft. I start to feel sleepy and exhausted from the tears. I think in my head I'd love to see Shima. But I need to love Nozomi now. She has never had any family or anything like that. One day she was just born and had nothing.

I run my fingers through her hair. It is as silky as it has always looked.

"Nozomi, I know now why you were following me, the Shima part of you was seeking me out. Now you found me and I will never let you go."

I pull my robes over us and hold her close to me. Her arms are gripped firmly around my back.

My eye starts to drop, I am exhausted. We must travel to Asgard as soon as possible but I am to caught up in the moment. I don't want to go out in that blizzard anyways.

Nozomi still appears to be wide awake and she wants to kiss me some more. She may not remember being Shima, but she has Shima's love.
