Seated a ways away from the window through which Bruno was even now making his gangling climb was the girl in question. Huddled in coat against the cold, Ruka was a practically shapeless lump of red and green on the roof, like something discarded from Christmas. She wasn't facing Bruno-she wasn't facing much of anything, chin sunken behind her knees, arms wrapped around her legs.
She didn't shake for tears, and made no noise for crying, but the air was heavy with more than the cold; if she heard Bruno coming out, she was doing her best to ignore him.

It also took him no time at all to catch sight of Ruka, but he didn't call out to her right away. The image of her curled up out here, away from the entire world, looking so much worse that she even had in the days leading up to when Bruno talked to her... it pressed a thorn into him somewhere deep.
But he couldn't be sure if she had heard him or not, so he knew he had to speak first. "H-hey..." he started, "are you alright?"
... Okay, not the greatest question right now. "Um... do you need any help getting back inside, or....?"

"No," she called, voice almost as cold as her face against the winter. "I won't."

"C'mon, it's dangerous up here right now," he said, putting on noticeably more of a concerned-adult than a concerned-friend tone, for her sake. "I don't want you to get hurt."
