[they are somewhere in the void unless rita would drop by the snorm lobby, because that's where saya would otherwise be.

she is fiddling with the red bead necklace around her neck, coughing every now and then and staring at nothing in particular... until she notices she's not alone. and then she tenses up immediately and stares at rita like she is heavily considering making a run for it again.]

[... she shrugs a little. it is kind of obvious it bothers her, but.]

... Yeah. I had to be really careful to avoid being seen.

Fuminori and my dad are the only humans who could be around me without freaking out.

He's not my real dad. But he took care of me and taught me everything I know.
