Years ago, you said to me,
"I think I'm losing the fight,
Or the fight's losing me, I'm not certain,"
And here we are-the closing scenes,
And all the house lights come up,
Oh, the falling of our final curtain...

Damascus by Nerina Pallot

( She didn't want to be this empty; she didn't want to think about the things she had had to do... )

[Set a few years before the fateful chuunin exam where Hayako died and just about everything happened.]

( “Uzuki Yuugao!” she huffed and shook her hands at him. “You will apologize right this second!” )
