"What happened?"

There was a small bruise on Kirara's arms. It was mauve in color and looked especially disgusting on his friend.

Kirara just simply mumbled angrily and glared at the ground.

Did she get in a fight?

Nagisa stared at the wound.

It doesn't look that bad. Maybe a pack of ice would help it a bit?

"Would you like some ice, Kirara-chan?"

She shrugged.

I'm going to take that as a yes.

"I'll be right back! I'm getting some ice! Stay here!"

Where will I get the ice from? Maybe my house? It isn't that far and mother isn't at the house. House it is, then.

Nagisa ran to his house quickly, retrieving the necessary materials.

"Ano... Kirara-chan, may I ask you how you got that bruise?"

Kirara glanced to the ground... unsurely (clearly not. Nagisa had never seen her do something unsurely before. Maybe disturbingly, but not unsurely).

"My... mother doesn't like me... that much."

"Ah," Nagisa said.

He understood.

He understood perfectly.

"My... mother... doesn't like me that much, either." Nagisa stated as though it was a fact of life (it is). "She was absolutely devoted to my father, which was why I was born. Not to ensure the life of her child or whatever parents do. Because she wanted to ensure father's devotion to her. He left when I was four years old and she made it perfectly clear in the four years that he's been gone that mum doesn't like me."

Kirara's eyes widened.

"That means you're eight." Kirara stated. "I'm the same age as you."

"Really?" Nagisa inquired. "That's pretty cool!" He smiled happily.

It's odd how being the same age could make him happy.

"Anyway," he continued, "We should get food. It's been two weeks since we last scavenged." The two were now scavenging partners, meeting up every two weeks or so to feed on dead bodies.

"Let's go," Kirara grinned slightly and Nagisa softly smiled in response.

The best places to look for carcasses are downtown. This isn't an opinion but merely a fact. There's more people there, more diversity, more danger. Gang fights, yakuza, ghoul territories. All of these are very dangerous and are some of the causes for food. There's also suicide victims but sometimes those are too disfigured to eat.

Because of that fact of life, Kirara and Nagisa were walking down a busy street, too crowded for both of their tastes.

"We should split up but stay in the general area." Kirara suggested. "You still have better-than-human hearing, right?" He nodded. "I can yell for you if I find a dead body and you can do the same?"
