"Miss Clausia is in Room 314. You may visit her, but for only a few minutes. We are going to have a check-up test on her later." The counter lady gave her a slip of paper, and the girl silently took it from her. The paper showed that she was given permission to go inside and the direction to the room.
Uni hesistated, but opened the door. She saw Clausia lying on the bed, and once she saw her face she couldn't help but yelp in horror. Embarrassed, she quickly closed the door behind her and inched towards the bed.
Machines softly beeped. Uni slowly knelt before the unconscious girl. She held her cold hand with hers, trembling.
"Clausia..." Uni said softly. This was all her fault.
She broke her loyalty.
Clausia did this performance all for her, and ended up going to die.
"Looks like you are able to finally make a live performance," her father's words repeatedly echoed in her head. "Maybe I shouldn't send you to London after all. You can make money with this."
Tears trickled.
They plopped onto the bed, making circular wet marks.
"Clausia....I'm sorry..." Uni choked through hiccups. She wished she was here on this bed instead.
Maybe I shouldn't send you to London after all.
The sentence mockingly repeated itself again.
The crying girl loosely let go of Clausia's hand, collapsing to the marble floor which soft sobs followed.
What a horrible disgusting friend she was, she thought.
Someone opened the door.
"Uni, its time to go-" her father's deep voice said, but she cut him short.
"Just leave me alone!" Uni cried, covering her face with her palms.
Another wave of tears emerged at the rims of her eyes.
Why do I treat you so nice? Clausia's voice cheerful voice sounded in her mind. Because you're really a best friend, Uni.
Miza watched from outside the room as Uni wept harder and her father helplessly tried his best to console her. Her eyes softened at the sight.
Misa walked towards her, and put a hand on her shoulder. "Its okay, everything's fine," she soothed.
Uni roughly pushed her away. "Go away! Nobody understands me!"
Miza's heart shattered. The same feeling when she realised she wasn't able to protect Kize. The same regret.
She walked back to her.
"Don't worry," Miza whispered.
"I promise I'll heal her back."
