Breaking down out of sorrow, Anli cries. Escad, for some reason he couldn't entirely explain or understand, feels her distress as his own. And in a small act of caring and tenderness, moves to console her...

When it comes to love and being in love, it's always the smallest acts of caring and affection that matter the most... ^^

On an artistic note, I like the overall feelings of softness. That, and the dark blue-green color scheme works very well, in my opinion. ^^ And most of all, it's sweet and intimate. (Especially his hand; it looks as if he's about to pull her into a hug.) What more can I say? ^^
