[Lenalee has been running for the last two weeks. Hasn't stopped since she started, at the conclusion of her doomed-from-the-beginning brawl with Allen. Since then, she's merely been surviving (not healing, surviving). Tempting fate with excursions dangerously far North to decimate Finders, too, although even then she's just kept running. She isn't brave enough to let anyone catch her, much less take her out, even though her soul is positively screaming for it.
And perhaps that's why, beaten down and withering under the pain of dozens murdered, she's come crawling back to the courtyard. You know the one. She's suffering, too broken to dare head North and too terrified of coming under criticism of the 'self destruct' variety to take refuge in the South. At least here, she's alone. Maybe not safe, per se, and maybe not alone for long, but Lenalee is falling apart at the seams both physically and mentally and she just doesn't care anymore.
So if anyone cares to look inside, they will find one Akuma huddling at the base of a cherry tree, tail wrapped around her (splintered) left knee so tightly it might as well be permanently affixed there. And while her eyes aren't pointed towards the door, rest assured she's completely aware of anyone's presence in the hallway outside.]
