[closed] give yourself hope, or i'll give you mine.
Who: Nakama and Minato
What: Calming down and sharing dark secrets.
When: Day 9.
Where: Room 805, Heimdall.
Rating: PG? Probably a lot of talk of death.
[She's begged Minato not to come, but she has a feeling he is, so she's left her door unlocked. She doesn't feel like she has the strength to walk to the door again to let him in. Standing up for herself, telling a bully where to go - it's still so new to her, and it's left her feeling a bit weak and sick to her stomach.
And then there are the reminders... the three pilots who died before her, those that would die after her, and all they had to lose. She didn't know them very well, but she knew that Anko wanted to be an idol singer. She knew that Maki was getting a baby brother. She knew that Daichi's siblings depended on him and his work after his father ran off on them. The word was that Moji had a girlfriend back home, and whatever she thought about him, Nakama can still feel for her.
All that loss. All that pain. She can never ask if it was worth it, because it saved billions of people, but she still feels it right in her solar plexus. A tight knot that so rarely comes undone, and right now feels like it could choke her to death.
Sitting on her bed with her knees pulled up to her chest, trembling violently and holding back any further tears, she waits.]
