Sayuri was just listening to everything. The explanations, the protests. It didn't surprise her that Himeko stood up and told the adults that, since the girl did tell her she was going to tell them exactly that already, but she still winced as she heard that. Along with the times she winced at all the cussing people were doing, but she didn't speak up about it, instead just still staring at her hands in her lap even in the middle of all the chaos and the loud people.

It had never been a decision for her, after all. "Before you all get up and walk out on this", he had said, but the thought hadn't even crossed the girl's mind. She already knew she had to do this, that there was no other choice. It was what was being asked from her, so it was what she had to do, even if everything with Miyume had left her feeling so incredibly scared and guilty that she couldn't even sleep.

At least one of the guys spoke up about it, and as she clenched her hands a little tighter together, she really hoped the others would listen to it as well. She didn't know any of them very well, but the idea of having to do all of this with an even smaller group was even scarier.
