[ She's standing at the top of the hill.

She's only just recovered enough to be able to walk, and the first thing she did was make her way out of that stuffy room in the castle where Kaito and that other man live. A part of her has come to hate that room, in the time she spent there -- hurting, unable to move, being tended to. The worst injuries

[ maybe Miku followed Rolling Girl up the hill. Maybe she's been waiting there the entire time, waiting for her to turn up. Either way, she's suddenly behind Rolling Girl, pushed up onto tip-toes to peer over her shoulder, trying to see whatever it is Rolling Girl sees ]

[rollagain]

[ She turns, and scowls at the sight of her, not bothering to veil the fact that she doesn't appreciate the company. ] What do you want?

[missingdata]

Shh! [ she doesn't look at her, though, and simply stares down the hill ]

[rollagain]

What?

[was_no_miracle]

[There are footsteps and the quiet whirr and grind of gears, and then he's there, standing a few feet behind her. For a long moment, he doesn't say anything- what can he say, in a situation like this?]

...

...are you going to roll?

[rollagain]

[ There's just silence, as if she doesn't notice him there at all. ]

[was_no_miracle]

[he shifts, awkwardly]

Miku?

[rollagain]

[ Her shoulders square up in reply; she still doesn't say a word, nor does she turn to face him. ]

[mixtogether]

[ there might be some words, caught in the wind; a familiar voice, murmuring in the distance ]

[rollagain]

What do you want, this time?

[mixtogether]

[ his voice echoes around, despite the openness of the space. Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you; half a question bounces around, and it might sound encouraging, to Rolling Girl. He expects it will, even if that isn't his intent. Rolling Girl hears what she wants to ]

[ and then, finally, he's really there ]

Why don't you listen to your friends, Miku?

[rollagain]

This isn't any of their business. It's my decision.

[miraculost]

[suicidal Miku + standing at the edge of a slope = handle with care]

...Hello, Miku. How are you doing today?

[rollagain]

[ ... ]

I can walk.

[miraculost]

I can see! That's good, definitely an improvement.

Are you feeling any better?

[rollagain]

Fine.

[modernechidna]

Well, this explains a lot.

[rollagain]

[ Turns to look at her, scowling. ]

[modernechidna]

You think dying'll be that great? Or is this some sort of new kink you kids are into?

[rollagain]

It isn't. And I don't.
