Notes: Oh god, I have a new ship. Takes place during episode 26, and the title is from Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods."
Nanami's heart races as she hurries away from Kozue.
Nanami knows full well that Kozue has slept with Touga. She knows and does nothing. Because Nanami is queen of the school, but Kozue is outside even her reach, a wild animal who would think nothing of tearing your heart out. (She imagines Kozue with blood on her lips and shivers, from fear and revulsion surely.)
Nanami tries not to think of Kozue's feral grin, or of the way her eyes gleamed, as if Nanami was something to eat. She tries not to think of what those eyes were promising.
Nanami doesn't stray from the path as she makes her way back home. In the safety of her room, she puts on her long white nightgown and doesn't think of Kozue.
In her sleep, she walks the path of needles and hears the howl of the wolf.
