[He looks up at her, startled, hair falling across his eyes. He hadn't realised anyone was there.]

I needed to do something.

[smallpackaging]

Why don't you have lunch with me?

*Since they're both here.*

...if you'd like to.

[He'll try to eat something.]

[A's just walking by, fresh out of the library, and she almost passes by him. Luckily, A doubles back and watches him from the door for a few minutes, before going inside, quietly, sitting down next to him, and placing her hand on his, the hand thats scrubbing.]

Hello there.
[She smiles gently at him, squeezing his hand, but her eyes show concern.]

Teru, what's wrong? You always clean like this when you're upset....

[righteous_pen]

[He freezes, gazing at her hand.]

...Near.

[That's all he can get out, for the moment.]

[always_ashes]

[She looks at him, confused. Near? What about him? did he do something?]

What did Near do....?

[righteous_pen]

- he killed me.
