~Iroha's POV~
~Well now I know why she looked like that... but what can I do? She shouldn't be the depressed one...~ I walk back into the living room and find Yachiyo-San sitting up. "You're okay!" I exclaim and she nods her head. "I know what happened... I'm so sorry..." I can feel myself getting weaker when I said that. "I'm not much of a consoling person..." I sigh and turn my head away. She stares into space and tears fall down her cheeks I sigh. "Wanna hug? That looks like a good idea for you."I hold out my arms and she hugs me back. She cries into my shoulder ~Is it normal for a pretty girl to have a pretty ugly cry?~ "I don't know what I'm gonna do anymore!" Her sobs get louder and all I can do is hug her closer. "There there... you've got an ugly cry, but you deserve to have one right now..." I smirk and rub her back in circles. She doesn't answer and only cries harder. "Um... I'm not good at this type of stuff." I sigh and she cries again. "Grandma was the only family member I had!" "What about your parents?" I whisper and she responds in crying more. "M-My parents disowned me... so I could live with my grandma... my mother loved me as a child... but she knew I wouldn't be safe around father..." ~Did she ever come out of the closet?~ "Um... why? Was your father homophobic or something..?" She nods her head and more tears fall on my jacket. "He was homophobic and a Yakuza..." ~Is that a coincidence that my dad is a Yakuza too?~
"Um..." I mutter but the words can't get out of my mouth. ~Damn it! Why am I like this?!~ She releases her grip from me as I sigh while looking at my shoulder. "It's drenched with your tears... your eyes are all red and puffy too." She stares at me for a moment as I look back at her.
Her eyes are filled with tears and pain. "I'm a mess..." she sighs and I nod my head. ~That's what makes you though... and I love you for that...~ "Listen... if you're a mess, then so am I." "Oh really? How so?" She scoffs and I grab the bag. "You wanted to know what was in this bag right? Well, look." I hand her the bag and her eyes widen and I bite my lip. "I'm a mess! Heh, heh..." I chuckle to myself as she grabs my shoulders into a hug. Her head rests upon mine and I can't help but feel safe. "If these help you... then I won't stop you. Just don't do something stupid." "I'll try," I mutter. We stay in this position for a while and I can feel my cheeks get warm. My phone rings. I jump at the sound but answer it anyway. "Hello?" My voice is calm and clear but suddenly turns into fear when I hear the caller. "Did you miss me?"
