*Tsuruhime, unlike her usual self, looks down. Her face doesn't have the peppy smile or energy. In fact, she looks downright tired.*

Haaa *A deep sigh.* I never thought it would be this hard to keep up what's happening around here. Um, I'm sure everyone is aware of this already, but Eiko-chan and Neku went back home.

*She attempts to smile a

You lost your friends, huh?

[Max's been there before. He gets what this girl's feeling.]

Don't force yourself to smile if it hurts, you gotta let all the sad and anger out before you can get yourself to smile again, ya know?

[purewhite_crane]

Sad and anger ... *She blinks, taken back.*

Is that what this heaviness in my chest is?

[video]

[crushthecups]

[He thumps the middle of his chest with a fist.]

Right there. It's like you got somethin' squeezing the daylights out of ya. It goes away soon enough.

[video]

[purewhite_crane]

Y-yes! That's exactly it! It's overwhelming ...

But I am relieved to hear it will fade away with time.

Don't force yourself to smile. There's nothing wrong with expressing grief.

[purewhite_crane]

I am little ashamed to admit, but I don't know how to express grief well. Amaterasu-san. How do you let go of this feeling?

[motherofthesun]

Well, there's crying and sometimes screaming help. Of course, those are just some ways; I'm not exactly in the best state to give that sort of advice. Talking it out helps too.

[purewhite_crane]

Maybe I can try it when I have more energy. But I think talking would more than anything.

Sometimes crying makes things worse! Heh heh.

I am sorry for your loss, Tsuruhime-dono.

[purewhite_crane]

Hee hee ... I'll be okay Katakura-san! It's times like these that we have to stay strong, right?

[forbearanced]

True, but one must also rely on one's friends when one needs to.

[purewhite_crane]

*...*

... Yes. Katakura-san, would you consider now to be such time?

[alastinglight]

I didn't know them, but you were pretty nice to me when I needed advice.

Let me know if there's anything I can do for you, okay?

[purewhite_crane]

Oh. *She really wasn't expecting that ...* Thank you.

Then, then - could you give me an advice this time?

video;

[alastinglight]

I can try to. What's up?

[purewhite_crane]

Ever since my friend left, my chest is heavy and I don't have energy.

... Isn't there any way to get rid of this feeling?

[steife_brise]

[Saleh doesn't know you, but he is enjoying the sad smile on your face quite a bit. And to make it clear, he snickers loudly.]

Ah, yes, do your best for your friends~

[Video]

[purewhite_crane]

*Normally she would have liked additional laughter, but something about the way he laughed, it rubs her the wrong way.*

Is there something funny about what I have said?

[Video]

[steife_brise]

Oh, not just about what you said, but also that look on your face. It's been a while since I last saw something like it.

[purewhite_crane]

... You mean my smile? I don't think there is anything wrong with it.
