Aki: "I'm melting! IDK if I'll survive... Why on earth ate we outdoors now??!"
Natalie Lockhart ((she/they) a skinny and short young nonbinary person with pale white skin, blue round eyes, long red hair with the sides shaved and a noticeable heart surgery scar across their chest) is wearing a pair of heart shapwd pasties and a towel around their waist, their makeup is runny annd they are blushing heavily but is still smiling.
Nat: "Geez, stop complaining! And I'm supposed to be the "frail one"? Just enjoy the heat!"
Aki: "Nat? I think you've gone insane from the heat"

P3: 10 minutes later
Aki, looking down concerned surrounded by a golden light: "Nat?? Are you well? Do you have brain damage?"
Nat: "Unngh... What happened Aki?"
Aki: "You passed out from the heat! I had to put a bunch of ice packs on you! I thought you would die!"
Nat, laying in bed drenched in sweat, fully naked with runny makeup, there are ice packs covering their private areas as well as under their armpits and around their neck, their chest has 3 electrodes to monitor their heart rate and there is a thermometer next to them. They are visible angry.
Nat: "Uggh Aki! Come on! I'm OK, I don't need your pity! I'm strong! I'm strong! I'm not vulnerable anymore! At all!!
Aki: "You're half dead and drenched in sweat!! Oy vey! How are you so stubborn!"

P2: Nat, a bit ashamed: "Oh really?? Sorry gor that... I hate feeling weak"
P3: Nat and Aki are now hugging
Aki: "Don't worry Nat. I really get it. It is a lesson I had to learn the hard way a long time ago. Just promise to take care of yourself OK?"
Nat: "Yes Aki, I'll try"
Minicomic for the heat. Aki and Nat are in the midst of a brutal heat wave but Nat is too stubborn to ask for help when she suffers the effects of the heatstroke. She really doesn't want to look or feel vulnerable even if their health is at risk #Traditionart #Fanart #TLH #AkiGaidenRE #OCs
