There is a complex mini-plot going on on Angelic Layer Mush right now between myself and the player of Ranmaru. The Japanese mafia is using Ranmaru for some unknown purpose, and somehow Miki got dragged into everything. Now, Miki is dying as it is, and she and Ranmaru have had a friendship/roommate sort of relationship prior to this. Now that they're thrown together, both fighting for their lives, they're finding that they need each other a lot more than either ever thought. It's beautiful to watch these characters come together, but also very very sad.
In this scene, Ranmaru has been blinded by the Mafia, and Miki is recovering from having heart troubles do to shock after being nearly killed by them. They're finding solice, safety, and love with one another.
Note: The first person who equates Miki to Harry Potter and Ranmaru to Lupin shall be shot. You have been warned. Also, yes, it's supposed to look like Ranmaru isn't enjoying it. The character has a lack of facial affect, which means he can't express being happy on his face.
