[ Fine. Whatever. If Isuke doesn't want to leave, then whatever. Haruki's going to ignore her.

Or is she?

She crouches down, brushing her hand over Fuyuka's forehead softly. Her hair's in the way of her eyes. The hair clip that usually keeps her bangs out of the way is somewhere else, probably fell off when she...

Haruki bites down on the inside of her cheek. ]

Fuyuka wanted to do something with her life. Wanted to be something like a nurse, I think... 'cause ma was always in the hospital. Guess she wanted to do something that could help her. [ She's mostly just talking to herself. If Isuke wants to chime in, then whatever. ] She had to stop school early to help me take care of everyone else...

[ From her crouching position, Haruki just plops her ass onto the ground, looking at the rest of the bodies littering the floor. A bitter laugh leaves her lips. ]

Dragged her and the rest of these little rugrats down with me even when I worked to make them smile. I worked so hard... you know?

[ She hates that these dead bodies aren't even looking back at her. Maybe it's better that way, though. ]
