The Sound of One Hand Clapping

:: Asuka wakes up alone in her apartment. She reaches for the crutches and starts to stand up, and promptly falls on her face. ::

Aya was about to knock on the door, but when she hears the knock she lets herself with a key.

The apartment has been cleaned up, but it's obvious that it has been damaged. The coffee table is gone and it will take those carpets a long time to dry.

"Asuka?" she calls out, sounding concerned.

She closes her eyes. The only thing that could make this experience worse. Somehow, she blames Aya-chan's remarkably bad timing rather than believe Nagi followed through on his threat.

Not even an evil boy genius would be that cruel.

She tries to pull herself back up to the bed. And swears prolifically because it more painful and difficult than it had any right to be.

Aya smiles when she hears the cussing and goes in direction of the noise. She gasps when she sees Asuka, even though she was expecting to see Asuka injured because of the state of the apartment.

Aya rushes over to Asuka and tries to help her up.

"What happened?"

[sweet2morrow]

Asuka fends Aya off as best she can. Aya still ends up helping Asuka back on to the bed.

"Nothing happened."
