fifteen - forward dated to christmas day
[Well. Taiga had been anxiously waiting for Christmas Day to arrive, though she wasn't sure if it was in anticipation or fear. She spent her night tossing and turning, the tiger stuffed animal Kei gave her ending up at the foot of her bed amid the top layer of blankets. When the sun peeked through her curtains she grumbled before realising it was Christmas goddamnit and maybe Santa would've given her a good gift!
Or not. She lazily nudged at the tiger stuffed animal; damn thing was in her way and why wasn't it moving goddamn it. Why did Kei have to get her something so--wait.
Stuffed animals aren't that big. She props herself up to find--
Ryuuji and Misaka, strangled with holly. In her bed.
She screams. Ear piercing, shrill, pure terror. It's not long before that scream breaks off into sobbing, ugly hacking sobbing and pajamas wet with tears and goodness knows what else. If Balthier tries to get in he'll find the door impossible to break down. Taiga stumbles off the bed, dragging the blankets and touching, oh god touching Misaka's arm it's a corpse and it's cold.
Taiga's not even sure why she picks up the phone, but her friends were dead in her room and strangled and they were dead and she had never imagined Mayfield would ruin Christmas that much and before she knows it she's got the receiver up to her ear and just--sobbing.
She does nothing but sob.]
[Also Kei and Erika? It's safe to assume there's no candlelit dinner. Being locked in a room with corpses makes that a bit difficult.]
