[ It's true, she has no idea the bullet she dodged, because being carried under the arms would not be a good time. Recovering from injuries or not.
But this is nice, and Haru is content to let her head lean back against Mark's chest, all but snuggled against him like this. When she thinks about it, there hadn't really been much time for affectionate contact with anyone. It had all been more or less out of necessity, or someone attempting to calm her down, or vice-versa.
What would it have been like, she wonders, if she'd been able to meet them all under different circumstances? If this was just a fun little thing Mark wanted to do without the underlying thought that this could be the first and last time for her?
... Maybe she's just overthinking it. He's not feeling well, that's all. She can feel the fever radiating off of him. But he can at least get over one part of the sickness and they've got to be much closer now. If nothing else... she can do whatever she can to get him to stay with them.
For now, Haru stays quiet, though the part of her that's enjoying the ride is still very much prevalent. ]
