( a simple misunderstanding could turn anything into a battlefield. it didn't hurt her when she died, but when mami died? kyoko had wished they could swap places. but wishing didn't solve anything and nothing got done on just desiring things. so she had kept her emotions bottled up and hidden away.

with a soft sigh, kyoko turned her face away from the communicator. )

There's no bringing back the dead, at least that's what I told myself. When I died, I didn't expect it to be so blissful. I'm not sure if that's what you felt.

( talking about all of this was incredibly weird but it brought some kind of strange closure to kyoko. her mentor, her teacher was the only person who could understand what kyoko had gone through. )
