*Subaru is standing on the roof, leaning against the guard rail, looking at the stars with red eyes*

*sniffle* ... Heather ... I kinda wonder what the others were like... maybe then I'd get it. Did I do something wrong? What do they have that I don't...? ... I felt so special...

I want to see Nanoha, and Ginga, and... Tia. I really wanna see Ginga and Tia right now... I want to go home.

*slowly approaches from behind*

Subaru...

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

! *she looks over her shoulder for a moment* A-Agrias?

[for-the-queen.livejournal.com]

...I do not know if you desire company at the moment. I am here to offer it if you so wish.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

*she sniffles and looks away* I...

*she begins to bawl into her sleeves*

[for-the-queen.livejournal.com]

I... My goodness, Subaru, I really don't know how to comfort you, I'm really not proficient with these situations, I can't, I don't...

*she forcefully clamps a lid on it and, silently kicking herself for not doing it sooner, lays a comforting hand on Subaru's shoulder*

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

I... don't get it...

[for-the-queen.livejournal.com]

The blame lies not on your shoulders, Subaru. You have done nothing wrong.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

... then why did she...?

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

A-Ano sa.. I...


My name is Nanoha.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

... *stare, blink, blink, jaw slacks*

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

Despite herself and despite Nanoha knowing why, the faintest hints of a smile play with one corner of her mouth.

G...Gomen. I didn't intend to intrude. Pardon me.

And with that she turned to leave.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

W-wait! *she all but lunges at Nanoha's back side, clinging to the back of her shirt and crying* Nanoha... you're really here...

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

Again, she wasn't sure why she was smiling because this girl was clearly in pain, but she remained where she was, letting the girl cry into her back for a few moments.

Hai. I'm here.

Obviously this girl knew her. Fate-chan hadn't mentioned anyone else. Maybe she'd forgotten. Either way, it didn't bother her. She'd find out in time.

Then she turned around and gently put her arms around the crying girl.

It'll be okay. Whatever it is. It will be okay.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry. This must be so... *sniffle* confusing for you... I know you don't remember me, but I'm Subaru, and...

*sniff*

you're just as nice as I remember...

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

She lifted a hand to gently stroke the back of the girl's head. Then she pulled back so she could look down at her.

It's nice to meet you, Subaru. I wish it was under nicer circumstances.

Indigo-colored eyes focused on the girl's sad face. Her expression was sympathetic.

What's wrong?

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

I... my...

Heather was seeing other people...

*bandaged up Anna has come to pay sad Subaru a visit*

Are you going to be alright, then?

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

... A-Anna?

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

What happened to you?

[anna-no-itako.livejournal.com]

Hmm? [looks at her side] Oh, this. It completely tore up my dress. I'll have to fix it later.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

You're in bandages. Are you hurt? Are you cold?

[anna-no-itako.livejournal.com]

It seems like you're the one who's hurt.

Cold? Hmm, I suppose this top does expose my stomach and sides a bit, doesn't it? But it'll have to do until I've sewn up my dress.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

... *she casts her eyes downward and turns around* I'm so confused feeling I don't even know what I'm thinking. You can read minds, Anna...

... can you tell me what I'm thinking...?

[anna-no-itako.livejournal.com]

*crosses arms* It's a jumble, you're not thinking straight. From what I can pick up, you're confused about what's happened, you're asking why it has and whether it's your fault. And you're wondering what you should do now.

But mostly, what you feel is hurt.
