-Kenji?-
-Daddy?- he called, feeling heavy and slow and wanting to go back to sleep, but knowing that Daddy would worry about him if he didn't answer.
-Kenji-chan, talk to me,- Daddy said, and he sounded worried anyway; Kenji didn't like Daddy to worry, so he knew he would have to talk more. -Where are you? Tell me.-
-I'm here, Daddy,- he said, still feeling like he had to go back to sleep, but not wanting Daddy to worry anymore. -I'm really tired, though. I think I should go back to sleep.-
-Don't worry, Kenji-chan. I can sense you; I'll find you.-
-Okay, Daddy,- he said, reaching for his pillow but not finding it. -I'm going to go back to sleep now, okay?-
-All right, my Kenji-chan. I'll come for you soon.-
Rolling over onto his side, Kenji folded his arm under his head and went back to sleep.
