laying on a bathtub filled with water, saito's eyes widened at the words written on the bond paper.
" fortitude 9.8 " she repeated before groaning as she hangs her neck back with eyes closed. slowly, her mouth curled into a menacing smile, " ahh, how troublesome "
her eyes burned holes thru the ceiling as she clenches her jaw with veins appearing on her temples. her left hand that was hanging on the tub crumpled the paper in her hands tightly.
" what do I do, satoru? suguru? . . I feel like I'm going to snap again "

at the mention and thoughts of their names, saito felt herself being pulled back to the deepest and darkest trench of anguish. as she gazed towards the windows of her room, she could see the sunlight peeking through the curtains. standing up from her bed, saito approaches the windows and opened it. cold air touched her skin as she gazed at the horizon. everything was coming back to her. and again, she was back to being blind to the vivid luster of the dawn.
" haah " she sighs, " shit "
without a thought, saito immediately changed her clothes in a hurry. discarding the thought of wearing her uniform, she put on a casual clothing consisting of black long sleeves and trousers.
grabbing her coat after putting on her shoes, she opened the door and stopped when she heard another movement in front of her.
saito and soshiro both froze looking at each other. the first one to speak up was saito.
" good morning, soshiro " she flashed him a smile.
" saito . . " he mumbles her name before greeting, " good morning too "
eyeing his clothes, saito realized that he was already in his uniform, " you're quite early "
" and you too " he smiled, pointing at her clothes. " where are you going? "
" just . . " she drawls, " visiting "
noticing that the air have become somewhat awkward, saito decided to end their talk.
" I should be going "
hesitantly nodding, soshiro watched saito walk away. when he saw her get on the elevator, he leaned his back on the wall. placing his hand to his face, he let out a sigh.
