[Why she went there was beyond her, but it was impulse and when she showed up on the Plane, Haibara did not stop moving until she was sitting in the abandoned stands of the Coliseum.

[At first she didn't hear him. With her mind preoccupied like this she could have gone on not even knowing someone was there with her. It wasn't until she felt the nose of her Eevee prod her leg repeatedly did she look to the animal before noticing Satoshi.]

... Hiwatari.

[asmallamoroso]

[With a small nod of her head she lessens the hug she has on herself, but the insecurities and troubled expression remained.]

They're fine.

[Unfortunatey Cally has no concept of being alone, and shall be curiously perching besides her.]

Hey, Ai ain't it?

[asmallamoroso]

[The last thing she wanted was company but she doesn't do anything save for avoiding eye contact as she grips her hands tightly.]

[asmallamoroso]

[One day she will find her own means to revenge.

But for now she'll have to settle with the fact that she won't be alone no matter where she goes. Which is why she's attempting to take slow breathes in order to calm herself.] I don't need anything.

[It's not you, Axel. It's her. Really.]
