After a while I decide to come back inside. I can't stay outside all day.

When I walk through the door several faces look up at me.

"Where did you run off to?" Ms. Irimi asks

"I just went out back. I didn't really do much..." I respond "Anyway how's Touka doing?"

Ms. Irimi stays silent for a moment but then eventually answers my question.

"She's still upstairs in her room." 

"Oh... Ok."

I would go up there and check on her I but I'm actually kind of scared that she'll get mad at me or something like that. Its not like I'm afraid that she'll attack me or something...no that's not it at all. I just don't like receiving certain...looks... In this case that would be fault or guilt. It really stings when someone gives you that kind of look. Its like they blame you for what occurred. It really hurts when you'd like to consider that person a friend... I can't blame her if she did choose to consider me responsible for Yomo's death though...

Suddenly a door opens. The person coming out is Touka.

When we see each other we both end up looking surprised. Touka looks down and walks right past me without saying a word.

I guess I was...wrong... She wasn't mad at all. She was just...sad...
