Garfiel:  When he was moving his body, when he was working to help someone else, he could forget his worries, even if only momentarily. He could avoid dwelling on the fact that he was just treading water for a little while; he could avoid anyone around him noticing his weakness. Garfiel knew that sort of avoidance wasn’t something to be praised. But there were people saved by it, and the number of people who looked up to him increased, even it was just for how much he was working. And Garfiel had not noticed it himself—

Mimi:  “Oh, Garf! Super energetic, aren’t’cha?! You’re always someplace high!”

Garfiel:  But if he was not so aloof and wanting to be left alone with his worries, it wasn’t as if he was unloved.

Mimi:  “Hmmhmmhmmh-hmmm, hmmhmmhmmh-hmmm.” Mimi hummed a cheerful tune while walking next to him.

Garfiel:  “…You’re awful happy.” Garfiel shrugged. Taking off from the rebuild work, Garfiel was going out with Mimi to eat lunch. Honestly, he would have rather kept working to keep his worries at bay, but Mimi couldn’t be stopped, and she had effectively forced him to join her.

Mimi:  “Yep, real happy! Hetaro and TB kept bothering Mimi to behave. But the captain lost his arm and things are all busy, so Mimi has to keep things together as lieutenant.”

Garfiel:  “I told ya not to go gettin’ so wound up.”

Garfiel:  “Gah!” Garfiel grabbed her by the collar, not wanting to deal with her reopening her wounds yet again.

Mimi:  “Ah-ha-ha-ha!” But as Garfiel held her light body up in the air, she broke into a grin when her eyes met his.

Garfiel:  When he saw her carefree face, he couldn’t help but feel like all his troubles were pointless.

Garfiel:  “Even with everything that happened to you, you don’t ever look troubled, do you?”
gpt
Mimi:  “Nope! Mimi is a superstrong woman! Did you fall in love with Mimi now? Did ya?”
human
Garfiel:  “Nope.”
gpt
Mimi:  “Okay.” Mimi didn’t show any sign of being disappointed at his answer as she dexterously swung herself around and climbed up onto his shoulder. It was annoying, but if he set her down, she would start overdoing it again, so he decided to just let her have her way. She was the bane of healers. Even though it was her own body that was at stake, she absolutely refused to rest and recuperate.

Garfiel:  “Your brothers must always be worryin’ about you.”
gpt
Mimi:  “Ah, Hetaro and TB? You know, even though Mimi is feeling this good, they still seem a bit rough? No helpin’ it, though, since they took a lot of Mimi’s wounds.” Mimi was sitting on Garfiel’s shoulder as she crossed her arms and nodded intensely to herself. She was referring to the fact that her younger brothers had borne her wounds for her through their tripartite blessing.
