For a split second Accelerator thinks he's got this figured out. He'll let the book dry out, put it away, and... maybe wake her up. At least move her to one of the chairs or something, so she doesn't stay sleeping on the floor.
Then her tiny hand curls around his and he freezes.
This brat isn't Last Order, he knows that. He's delusional, but not delusional enough to be mistaking one girl for another one. Regardless of that, she's still a little kid who's been put into an unimaginably difficult and unfair situation through no fault of her own. She shouldn't be here, having to worry about missions and saving her universe and potentially dying; she should be back in her home, with her mother and father or whatever family she has. She should be exploring the library with them, not falling asleep on the floor here.
It's his own baggage causing him to hold back from just waking her up. If she was a fellow teenager or an adult, he wouldn't hesitate.]
.................................
[Drawing in a slow breath he lets go of her head, and doesn't pull his other hand away. He's glad there isn't anyone in this section of the library right now, because he's making the decision to just let her cling and wake up at her own pace. It's mildly embarrassing for a teenager, even though he doesn't really mind doing it.]
