( the question catches her off-guard. is she okay? absolutely not. she's still plagued by the sight of the girl's death, of her throat slit, of the blood splattering all over the clocktower. her neck still hurts, where the knife had sunk into flesh, a constant reminder that that night was real, and not just a nightmare she could forget. everything... everything still weighs on her, heavy and unpleasant; she tries her best not to show it, because she'd honestly rather die than let her feelings show on her face, but...

her lips purse in a thin line, and she shrugs, glancing away.

that's all the answer he's gonna get out of her on this. )

Hmm... dunno. The idea is just childish enough that it probably is, but who knows. ( sleepover? in a haunted school? who came up with that?

she's not gonna admit it, but sleeping with other people in the same room is actually pretty comforting, though... on the outside, she has to appear Nonchalant and Uncaring, however, so. )

You mean the girl from the case? ( with everything happening, she hasn't had a chance to really... talk to her, or even take a better look at her. it's good that she's alive, though; rika still doesn't understand why and how, but, well. all that matters is that she is. ) You got anything in mind?
