Indeed it was. But Rena didn't respond to her name - nor did she even seem to hear it. She stayed where she was, huddled against the wall and shivering violently.

Her head throbbed incessantly, her vision graying out with each pound. Whatever they took her for last time, they had through her back in a sorrier state than before. Hasty bandages were wrapped haphazardly around her head, but Rena seemed to pay them no mind. She reached up with a shaking hand and scratched at the dirty bandages covering her throat. Her dulled, dead eyes stared straight ahead, even as she tore through the gauze in a sudden burst of strength.

...Well shit. Haruki's going to grunt and then stumble on over there before getting on his knees and moving over to her. This isn't cool man. This isn't cool at all. His blood would be boiling about now if it wasn't running cold with something like, well horror

"Oi! Rena!"

And at this point he's leaning his face in on her there. What personal space?

Rena's eyes slowly - slowly - turned toward the sound of Haruki's voice. As sluggish as her mind was right now, the silhouette seemed vaguely familiar. And it was speaking in a strange, echoing voice.

Rena couldn't feel much right now, but something akin to dull panic settled into the pit of her stomach. This strange, familiar shadow was speaking to her, It knew her name.

Hoarsely, as her dull eyes widened, she began to speak. Though what came out of her mouth was a sort of terrified mantra on endless repeat.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Each apology was emphasized with a sudden jerk of her arm as she attempted to dig even deeper into her throat.

Oh hell no. Oh hell know. He might not be good for much, but he moved in on this moment. He tackled into her, grabbing her hands as best he could, hopping to pin them against the wall. But more than that, more than that...

"What the hell, Rena?!"

A furious roar of something not unlike indignation, laced with a lot of fear. He knew she was picking at her neck, but this-

It suddenly dawned on him. Rika must have seen this dozens - hundreds, perhaps - of times. He thought her resignation at been at Rena's murderous attitude he had seen all those months ago. But no, no. Her real fear, her real concern... it was this, wasn't it?
