[Blue Archive] Abydos' Suicidal Hopeful

An Offer He Can't Refuse EP.6

It's my fault.

Everything... It's all my fault.

If only I had paid a little more attention to her, none of this would have happened.

She wouldn't have those scars.

She might not have harbored such dark thoughts.

I've made the same mistake again.

So, never again.

Never again will I let her get hurt.

Never again will I let her make a bad choice.

Even if I'm hated forever.

Because I'm her... Takanashi Sora's sister.

"Could you... show me your wrist under the bandage?"

'...How did he know?'

And this is someone I've only known for less than a day.

Of course, suspicion is natural; if someone has a bandaged wrist, you'd think of self-harm. But if it were just suspicion, he'd normally ask why I have it. Instead, he asked to see.

As if he already knew the state of my wrist under the bandage.

Which means...

'...Ayane must have told him.'

It wouldn't have been Hoshino, Nonomi, or Shiroko. Just as I don't want my juniors to know, they wouldn't want my condition to reach anyone else's ears.

'...What should I do now...?'

I had considered the possibility of Sensei finding out, but there's nothing I can do about it now.

'Maybe I'll just brush it off with a vague excuse for now and think about it later.'

"It's..."

I was about to dismiss it as a woman's secret and started to speak, but...

"Sensei, I can't just let that comment slide."

"Yeah, you can't... huh?"

"Yes. I can't overlook what you just said."

"Eh? Sh-Shiroko?"

"No way,"

"N-Nononomi, too? Wh-what's going on...?"

For some reason, Hoshino stepped in front of me, glaring at Sensei, and Nonomi and Shiroko held me protectively, also glaring at him.
