[ The scene is of a bed, in a nice, girly little bedroom, and there's a girl kneeling by the bed. The room might be familiar to Tatsuki, because hey, it's Orihime's place after all. Her face is hidden in the sheets, hands clutching a scarf, while a note sits next to it. The words aren't readable at this distance, and the video is from the

[I don't think they've talked at all yet oops but he's still worried, because sad people worry him.]

Miss?

[ BETTER LATE THAN NEVER RIGHT At the sound of his voice, she sits up, looking tense. ]

H-Hello...

[ Quickly smiling ]

I-I'm sorry, n-no one was supposed to see that, aheh...

[YEAH! he's smiling a little to try to make Orihime feel better.]

It's alright, This place does that sometimes. And it's been a stressful time, too.

[ SMILES WORK WONDERS, SHE MANAGES A SHAKY ONE. ]

I-I'm sure others have much worse things to worry about, I shouldn't-- be crying over something like this...

Motherfucker...

action; OH BB will pick this up i promise AS IF I WERE TO DIE

[a while later, Tatsuki is at Orihime's door, because she knows the girl needs it. Even worse, though, she needs it too. Of all the people to leave, of all the times to do it--!

Motherfucking idiot.]

Orihime...open up.

[ The door would probably push open at the second knock, she'd been returning home when she'd felt Ichigo's reiatsu vanish. It had taken one trip to the Hall of the Missing to confirm it, and she'd come home in this state.

And then finding the gift of the scarf in her room, and the note, finally broke down her resolve. ]

T-Tatsuki-chan...?

[ She covers her face with her hand, trying to wipe it clean, and stands up. ]

[And the bastard had left her all those movies--some of them had been gifts from her, since the moron had his taste in movies shoved up his ass--and that's how she knew it was different. He wouldn't come back.

And if he did, chances were, he'd never remember a thing. Dammit... It was always hard. Orihime kept coming and going, and that always hurt more than she could say. Ishida, and Keigo, too. And now the one person she'd thought would never leave--Ichigo. This was it--she was the veteran now. The only sucker in their group to have stayed the longest in this fucking place.

It makes her want to kick something, someone--shout and scream and punch some orange headed asshole into the window--but not tonight. Because the second she sees Orihime, she puts all that besides, and strides forward, pulling the girl into a hug.]

[threadedstars]

I-I'm sorry... th-that must have made a pretty bad impression, aheh...

[threadedstars]

It's all right... he'd been here for two years! S-So really, I should have been prepared for it!

U-Um, I hope you don't have to be here that long, Miss!

[candlejacked]

...

It's okay. You're allowed to be sad.

[threadedstars]

I shouldn't be, though! Leaving this place-- i-it's a good thing!

[candlejacked]

Yes, but...if Lloyd...if someone dear to me left, I know I'd be sad.

[threadedstars]

Mm... especially when you can't go with them, and not be sure if they're safe where they've returned to, right?

voice;

[innocenthearted]

Are you okay, miss?

voice;

[threadedstars]

O-Oh-- I'm fine now, really...

I-I'm sorry... I probably worried a lot of people...

voice;

[innocenthearted]

You don't have to say sorry--

Are you going to be okay, though?

voice;

[threadedstars]

Mm! I'll be fine! I know this is a good thing, to not be stuck here any more! I hope you don't have to be, either!
