OI!  ARE YOU BASTARDS LISTENING TO THIS?!

[...  Yeah.  Sorry about those eardrums.  Taiga certainly isn't sorry though; after finding out that someone killed Ryuuji, she's not too keen on worrying about what other people think.]

I don't care who you are or what you think you're doing, if you dare lay a hand on Ryuuji again I'll snap your fingers off

Taiga? [ This is the first time she's heard her angry like this - it must be serious. ] What happened?

[tsuntiger]

Someone killed Ryuuji! M-Murdered him!

[hwamei]

Grady? The Postman? [ A beat. ] Someone else trapped in this town? [ Not all people who ended up here had morals, she knew. Come to think of it, there was a woman who went on a killing spree not too long ago. ]

[tsuntiger]

In his own house! He didn't even do anything!

[hwamei]

That's terrible!

Do you know who exactly killed him? Even if it's just an address, anything - [ Is that a gun she hears? Well, no. She isn't planning on killing on anybody - just preparing herself.

Or.

Or maybe she shouldn't. She doesn't really want to fight anyone - and she's a little scared. ]

[tsuntiger]

[Address... That's kinda hard to remember, man. :T And she doesn't even flinch at the sound of the gun; a far better weapon than a bokken, that's for sure.]

Ryuuji's house! I-I could ask!

[hwamei]

Alright.

[ Thinking about this. Violence doesn't solve everything. That wouldn't make her any better than the nation she's been fighting for so long. ]

Hey, Taiga.

[ She wants to help, but maybe not in this way. Crime happens everyday and she can't stop it, but this involved a friend, and a life. ]

I don't wanna harm anyone unless I have to. [ Or if it's by impulse. ] But if Ryuuji has to be safe, I can help with that.

[tsuntiger]

L-Let me do it, okay? It's not...not your problem to get the blame for.

[hwamei]

You're right... but I wanna assist you in any way I can.

If you need a hand or a shoulder, let me know. If you'll be fighting or crying, you don't have to suffer - mm, you don't have to do everything alone.

[ Because Taiwan has, and she knows how it feels. ]
