The coldness that slowly spread across your body was a welcome relief against the searing heat of the acid that splashed against your skin.

All you had to do was sleep and all the pain would simply melt away.

You wouldn't have to worry about deadlines for your books anymore.

Nor would you have to stand at long lines just to purchase groceries whenever it was bargain day.

There wouldn't be a need for you to call the contractor almost weekly to get repairs on your home done.

All in all, you'd be completely at peace...

But would you truly be content knowing that you'd be leaving Saitama and Genos behind?

Genos, he'd already lost so much in his young life and to lose another person he cares for...He might not be able to bear the pain of losing you.

And Saitama...

Your dear husband...

The reality of being unable to protect you, because he wasn't even there to begin with would weigh heavily on his shoulders for the rest of his life.

Losing you would destroy him

Because who would be there to remind him to eat healthily?

Who would remind him not to put his feet on the coffee table?

Without you...who would be his hero when he's the one who needs saving either from monsters or himself?

"Hey (Name), isn't it about time you stopped resting? You're not going to be able to sleep tonight if you do it all day"

You couldn't help but smile weakly at the imaginary voice of Saitama.

He was right though, it was about time you stopped being so weak and stood up for yourself for once.

Due to your closed eyes, the soft pink light that cocooned your body escaped your notice.

By the time you opened them however, it was gone.

What greeted your eyes instead was a bloodied Mumen Rider barely holding his ground against the Deep Sea King.

You didn't think twice about running towards them and into the fray.
