WHO: Chloe, Kisa.
WHAT: Confirmation.
WHERE: Yanagi dorm.
WHEN: Saturday 5/6, immediately after the dungeon.

Fortunately, the run from the main hall to the dorms was not a long one.

Class was still in session; it would not be for much longer, but it still allowed Chloe and Kisa to arrive at the dorms uninterrupted. Kisa was quiet, simply keeping pace -- she understood Chloe well enough to realize, at any rate, that anything she said would go unanswered, or close enough to it.

That, and she wasn't sure what would come out if she spoke.

Go? Chloe's dead gaze returned to Miyume. They couldn't go... they couldn't just leave her here like this, right? She looked back up at Kisa, confliction showing clearly on her face. The German looked back down at Miyume's face. Inwardly, she knew there was nothing she or any of them could do for her now... and it killed whatever was left inside of her. After a few moments, Chloe stood on unsteady legs, her gaze still locked on Miyume. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out. It took her a few moments of trying, but she finally found her voice. She spoke directly to Miyume, her voice breaking as she spoke in German.

["Miyume... I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I did what I could, and it wasn't good enough. It will never be good enough, will it? You were the only person who never hesitated to show me kindness, and I failed you... You deserved better than this. I guess... this is goodbye, isn't it? I don't know what happens after death... but wherever you are, I hope you're at rest and free of the pain and misery that permeates this god forsaken school."]

Chloe paused, fresh tears streaming down her face as she leaned down to kiss Miyume's forehead. It was such a simple gesture, but coming from someone as stoic and 'unfeeling' as Chloe, it was monumental.

["Goodbye, Miyume. Who knows... maybe some of us will be joining you shortly."]

With that, she left the bedside and wandered almost aimlessly back towards the door where Kisa stood. She seemed lost, and it was apparent that it didn't much matter where they went; she would be trapped in her own thoughts regardless.
