Locked from Kanade Poorly - text

[wildmelody]

I need someone to talk to.

Someone who's good at psychology or at least I dunno.

Someone is fine.

Comments

[wildmelody]

Yeah.

I almost lost it that day too.

[bag_has_snapped]

...a-are you... okay now?

[wildmelody]

Physically I'm fine. I got bit but I went right to the doctors. Said that it wasn't even infected.

[Which means no, Hibiki is not fine.]

[bag_has_snapped]

...need a friend? Even if I have to drag myself there...?

[wildmelody]

... I'll come to you. Gimme a few minutes.

[And the bookcase'll shine soon enough.]

[bag_has_snapped]

[And Tsubomi's waiting for Hibiki... in between Chypre trying to keep her in bed.]

[wildmelody]

[stumbling out, Hibiki looks tired, withdrawn. None of her usual energy is there, and her vibrant mane of hair and healthy shine is all but gone pale and limp as she shuffles over and sits down next to Tsubomi.]

You look about as bad as I feel, Tsubomi.

[bag_has_snapped]

I feel drained. I got separated from Itsuki early on and I ended up going two days non-stop... then... what happened to me...

I'm just so weak right now...

[wildmelody]

Rest up. In fact, scootch over.

[Hibiki rolled over, sliding under Tsubomi's sheets and wrapping an arm around her.] Sleepover. We can talk while we lay down.

[bag_has_snapped]

Oh! [Tsubomi scooted over, blushing as Hibiki joined her.] O-Okay...

[wildmelody]

We'll have to do this with everyone once we're healed up.

[Hibiki rested her head against Tsubomi's shoulder, a pained groan as she messed her hair up with a hand.] Geez this week...

[bag_has_snapped]

That'll be nice. Real nice...

[And Tsubomi rests her head on Hibiki's, holding the younger close.]

I know the feeling... I didn't expect... everything...

[wildmelody]

No one did. Which is why I guess it's a bit of fridge logic. I should have taken Yayoi's suggestion more seriously when she said have a zombie plan.

[bag_has_snapped]

I think we all should have...

[And you can just feel how weak poor Tsubomi is trying to get herself comfortable here.]

[wildmelody]

Well... it's over now. [Hibiki aren't you avoiding the whole subject? She curled up against Tsubomi.]

Do you want a advil or something?

[bag_has_snapped]

It... would be nice... though... when you get back... want to talk?

[wildmelody]

All right. Where do you keep your medicines?

[Honestly Hibiki doesn't want to leave Tsubomi's bed, it's comfy and they both need the comfort. And yet...]

[bag_has_snapped]

Ah... I think in the bathroom down the hall...

[And admittedly, she doesn't want her to go, either, buuut..]

[wildmelody]

I'll be back. [hibiki paused to give her a quick kiss on the forehead before heading out. She's soon back with an advil and a glass of water.]

Here you go. Need help sitting up?

[bag_has_snapped]

[There's a soft, surprised noise as Hibiki kisses her forehead, leaving her to blush slightly. When she returns with everything, she shakes her head.]

N-No, I can manage... [And she does so, sitting up enough to take the glass and aspirin and down it.]

[wildmelody]

All right. Just lay back down carefully. I'm coming in.

[Laying back down, she curls up next to Tsubomi. For a moment she let herself relax against her.]

I almost lost myself in that battle. Losing my mind, scared, frightened, upset.

[bag_has_snapped]

[And as Hibiki lays down, Tsubomi joins her, setting her cup nearby.]

...I don't think Yuri or Itsuki told me about what happened after I... y'know... but... I'm sure I hurt them with what I did.

...oh, gosh, and I'm sure Erika's in quite the panic, too...

[wildmelody]

Everyone is in disarray after that incident. I think everyone's shook up. And I don't blame them. I let... I mean...

[bag_has_snapped]

Shh...

...no, no you didn't. Everyone did everything we could. The community did this... I... I know it's hard not to blame yourself... I still feel bad for what happened, too, but... well...

[wildmelody]

Tsubomi I... I couldn't stop them they just...

[Hibiki buried her face into Tsubomi's shoulder.] I can't sleep, remembering that.
