What a Good Girl Am I
((Backdated to after this thread and before this one. Slightly incoherent. =X))

[After Mimi has cleaned everything until it's spotless, she stumbles towards the living room and collapses into the couch. She lays there motionlessly, too drained to do anything more. After a few moments, though, a few tears begin to roll down her face.]
My chance for a new life. It was too good to be true, wasn't it? I . . . I wouldn't have minded being Ini forever, here in this town. Ini has friends here. Ini even has a family. I could've cast Mimi aside; I could've simply forgotten all about Mimi Miney, the nurse . . . After all, it was because of her that fourteen people died. No. Fifteen. Fourteen people and the one she loved most in the world, gone forever. Why? How could she have let it happen? There can be no adequate excuse. Carelessness. Exhaustion. Whatever. It doesn't matter. In the end . . . I could never accept her after what had happened . . . I could never accept what she had done.
And worse than that. Mimi . . . Mimi was a murderer. Fifteen lost through her mistakes, but one murdered through intent. Mimi was weak. Mimi was afraid. She was cornered, and she struck. I told myself that if I had another chance, I would have nothing, nothing to do with her ever again.
It looks like . . . It looks like I was wrong. I can never lose Mimi for good . . . Because Mimi doesn't deserve any more chances. Because I don't deserve any more chances. Isn't that right . . . Ini?

[There is the sound of heavy knocking at 1448 Mitchell Road. Despite the heavy rain and the near-impenetrable darkness, Mimi had forged her way through to Mia's house anyway. The fact that she was actively seeking out the woman at all spoke lengths about the importance of this task.]
MIA! Mia Fey! Open the door, I need to talk to you! Mia Fey, I swear I'll get on my knees and beg if I have to!
