*Tsuruhime, unlike her usual self, looks down. Her face doesn't have the peppy smile or energy. In fact, she looks downright tired.*

Haaa *A deep sigh.* I never thought it would be this hard to keep up what's happening around here. Um, I'm sure everyone is aware of this already, but Eiko-chan and Neku went back home.

*She attempts to smile a

[Saleh doesn't know you, but he is enjoying the sad smile on your face quite a bit. And to make it clear, he snickers loudly.]

Ah, yes, do your best for your friends~

*Normally she would have liked additional laughter, but something about the way he laughed, it rubs her the wrong way.*

Is there something funny about what I have said?

[Video]

[steife_brise]

Oh, not just about what you said, but also that look on your face. It's been a while since I last saw something like it.

[Video]

[purewhite_crane]

... You mean my smile? I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

[Video]

[steife_brise]

Heh, I never said there was something wrong with it. You don't have to bother trying to hide the sadness of losing your precious friends.

You know you might not see them again, so you miss them, don't you~?

*Her voice shakes, despite her attempt to look calm.*

Of course I miss them. Like you've said, they're my precious friends.

[steife_brise]

I wonder if they really went home.

[purewhite_crane]

What are you trying to say? Please stop beating around the bush.

[steife_brise]

[He's grinning at those faces you're making. And having so much fun at your expense.]

Oya, am I not being clear enough? What makes you so sure they went home and not somewhere else far, far away... a place nobody has ever returned from?

[Video]

[purewhite_crane]

Well I'm sorry to say it isn't so. I have met people who came back from home. And I trust their words.

*Although what he said doesn't go unheard. B-but that can't be. It .. just can't.*

[Video]

[steife_brise]

Ah, such unwavering faith. I wonder what will your reaction be if it's proven otherwise.

[Video]

[purewhite_crane]

I don't believe that day will come.

- But I do hope you're not trying to bully mister. *Or else she'll be crossed with you. >:(*

[Video]

[steife_brise]

If stating a possible truth means bullying, then you could say I'm bullying you.

Oh, and you know, whether that day comes or not isn't something you decide~

[Video]

[purewhite_crane]

Thankfully, it's not something you decide either ...!

[steife_brise]

You have it all wrong. Were it up to me, I'd keep all your friends stuck here with you.
