( It's a funny thing, what you do when you're upset. She came all the way here because it felt right, because Ryouma is pretty cool as adults go and that had to mean she'd know what to say when she got there, right?
She doesn't. Every single word escapes her as he asks that simple question, and all she can do is grab for the painkillers and whatever that bottle is, downing both without flinching. A hand reaches for her hair, something to fiddle with, only to draw away when she feels the twists of the braids she didn't remove, and she settles for yanking her sleeves over her hands as she collapses into a chair.
Where the hell does she start? Everything was so fine up until the assassination attempt. Tanabata had been fun. And now we're here.
She exhales, draws her legs up and tosses them over the arm of the chair, trying to find the words. There's so much that's wrong, so many parts of that visit which bother her and want to come out that none of them do. )

Someone said they love me.
( ... Shouldn't you look happier about that? )
