Erika faltered slightly, a somewhat troubled expression clouding her face briefly. She went quiet with thought, wondering how the other girl would react if she said what she really thought. That she hadn't been Hazama's friend and neither had most of the people shedding tears over her now. But to say such a thing would only invite more trouble in her life than she wanted.

Instead, she bowed, molding her expression into one of proper shame and contrition.

"I am sorry. I meant no disrespect."
