Midorikawa Retasu

[Supposedly locked from Issei and Diarmuid. Actually not, because she fails at this sort of thing.]

Um, does anybody have any advice? You see, today is, um... Should I wish them a happy anniversary? Would that sound bitter? I don't want to sound like that! But then again, it might be hurtful if I didn't say anything, right? I can't get someone else to say it for me, that would be even worse. Should I give them flowers? Would they take that the wrong way? Am I worrying too much? What do I do?

*Retasu's sitting on her bed and hugging a pillow, turned away from the camera. She shakes her head and sighs.*

...

*An older voice comes from outside her bedroom door.* Retasu? You should get ready, there's school today...

I-I'm not feeling well. *She hugs the pillow more tightly.* I'm sorry.

We're worried about you, you know. You were in your room all last night, you barely touched your own birthday cake... after you disappeared last month, we worry.

I... um. I'll be all right. Please don't trouble yourselves.

*Retasu waits a few seconds, sighs, and flops over, sniffling.*

It's still really hot out... I feel like I'm going to dry up and evaporate. I'm tired...

Um, how is the weather with everyone else?
