I follow by hanta's side for the entire silent walk to recovery girls' office.
"you can't go inside girl, he needs to be healed immediately without the sadness you carry." the elders voice was firm but it carries truth.
i look down at my hands, the scars that mark every inch of my palms that lick their way up around my fingers. reminding me of an invasive vine twirling around a tree. the slight tremor is enough to get a grip on my hands before it turns into something much bigger i don't want to put anyone through.
"are you alright miyamoto dear?" the elder woman's soft voice was enough to bring me back to reality. i plaster a smile on my lips and give her a quick nod.
"yes i'm alright perfectly fine! please take care of hanta and make sure he's all healed up." with a slight bow, i turn on my heel in search of a quiet space. even with her yelling at me to get back there and get checked up on. i disregard her worries and instead continue off.
who knows if there's a quiet space on this earth that i could find. if one even exists that is.

all i remember was this dark voice. it sent shivers up my spine when i first heard it.
i got the same sensation i always do when new stars wish to talk to me.
the buzzing sensation at the nape of my neck and my ears ringing.
when i first heard the voice, all whispers that normally plagued my mind were gone. as if they scattered into the cosmos when this dark one entered their space.
i was at home with my siblings when it happened. the last thing i remember doing was standing in the kitchen helping junko make dinner.
"hello there my kin."
those were the last words i remember before i came back to myself surrounded by ruble and glass in the middle of the street.
my head was down, looking at the new permanent jewelry that adorned my wrists.
junko was shaking me and screaming at me to wake up while futoshi was sitting beside me, gripping onto my hand tightly.
they both were covered in soot, blood dripping down from various parts of their bodies.
i don't remember much of that night.
it was a few days later when i found out mom and dad wasn't coming home. after that i was home schooled.
