when the fear crops back up

Drawn after watching episode 5 of XV. While Miku's pretty much accepted Hibiki's dangerous lifestyle at this point, I'd imagine there are times when the anxiety's just a little too overwhelming (might have caught a glimpse of that towards the end of AXZ). She knows she has to be strong for Hibiki's sake, but she's also just a normal girl; having to watch Hibiki run headfirst into danger each and every time must take a toll on her. And that's NOT including the Zwei Wing-related guilt, which is a whole other thing to unpack.
