*Tsuruhime, unlike her usual self, looks down. Her face doesn't have the peppy smile or energy. In fact, she looks downright tired.*

Haaa *A deep sigh.* I never thought it would be this hard to keep up what's happening around here. Um, I'm sure everyone is aware of this already, but Eiko-chan and Neku went back home.

Don't force yourself to smile. There's nothing wrong with expressing grief.

Well, there's crying and sometimes screaming help. Of course, those are just some ways; I'm not exactly in the best state to give that sort of advice. Talking it out helps too.

[motherofthesun]

We can talk if you want.

Well, too much crying yes. It can make someone dehydrated.

I would be honored Amaterasu-san. I'm sorry I have to be a burden.

Thank you ...

I don't know how to describe this feeling. But after Eiko-chan left, I became very restless. And then it just increased when Neku-san left. I'm happy that they'll be safe in their world, but the space they left behind seems very large.

[purewhite_crane]

There's nothing wrong with missing someone. It means you were close and you cared for them. Keep their memory close to you.

[purewhite_crane]

Right. I will keep the times I've spent with them close to my heart.

*She's tearing up a little, but she looks more relieved somehow.*

[motherofthesun]

Good.

[She notices the tearing] Will you be alright? Should I find some company for you or bring you a 'tissue'?

Video//Text

[purewhite_crane]

Tissues sometimes make my eyes itch, but company ... company would be nice.

Where are you now?

I'm near a place where you play the basketball game.
