Woo! We got a stalker! :D//

Lata knew that somehow, the girl in front of her was unable to speak. She hadn't know the reason until now. It was hurting her. Her expression changed into one of worry as the younger pressed her hand lightly against the other's lips.
"Don't strain yourself," she ordered quietly. Sighing, Lata asked if the other had brought her notepad. She could be patient for the explanation.

Nagai nodded and took it out along with her pencil. It took a while, but she wrote, I’m so sorry, I should have told you at the beginning. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you wouldn’t want to be friends because of my father. I realize I should’nt have kept it a secret for you. I’m really sorry, and I hope we can be friends again.

Nagai showed Lata her message, a trembling smile on her face. She tried to blink the tears out of her eyes, but they kept coming. Nagai couldn’t stop them.

Running her eyes over the message, she looked up at the girl in front of her. Sure, she was upset that "Ni" had lied to her, but felt grateful for the other's company. Biting her lip again, tears formed in her eyes. Thinking about the past few days, she remembered how much she hated being alone. It liked to eat at her, feeding a bit of anxiety and fear though she tried to hide it from herself.

Suddenly finding her sight blurry, she leaned forward into the other's arms, finally letting held back tears fall. It had been so long since she fully let herself release pent up feelings.
Her parents' death.
Being forced to live poorly in this slum.
Betrayal.

In just a short moment, it all came flowing out. Her breathing quickened as she let herself be held, as well as her heart feeling as if it would burst from beating so fast.
After calming down a bit, she refused to let go until "Ni" needed to write again. Her face was probably such a cherry red mess but she didn't care anymore.

I read this to my sister and we’re both crying ;-;//

Rip Q~Q//

Nagai held the smaller girl in her arms, not wanting to let go. Silent tears streamed down her face and her nose started to run. Instead of breaking apart to writ, Nagai wrote around the younger girl. Lata needed this, so Nagai wouldn’t let go until she did.

As the young girl cried, Nagai wrote, I should also tell you my name is Nagai. I’m so sorry, I feel awful. What could I ever do to make it up to you? it was messy, but readable. Nagai squeezed Lata, trying to comfort her.

(HEDLEY, I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE RELATED TO LEAFY)
(Also oops lol. I'm an intense writer and throw in some feels a lot lol)

Lol same. Also, may I make a book using this idea? I’d like to make more people cry XD//

Looking up, Lata rubbed away the warm, salty tears and read the note.
Nagai…
Pressing her lips in a thin line, Lata really didn't want to guilt Nagai any longer. She seemed sincere and even spoke despite the pain.
"This is good enough. The fact that you mean it is enough," she responded softly. Letting go for a moment, she remembered what she had been planning earlier on in the day. Telling Nagai to wait for just a moment, the younger of the two crawled out the window to pick up the silver chain. Somehow it was still there. Picking it up, she rubbed a bit of the dried dirt off of it and came back inside. Sitting in front of the older girl again, she presented her gift.
"This is for you… sorry that it's a bit dirty, but you're probably able to wash it off at home I suppose…"

Nagai took it and smiled. She hugged Lata again and brushed off the dirt with ease. It might not have been the prettiest chain, but to Nagai, it was. She looked the girl in the eye and mouthed, “Thank you.”

She put on the chain, smiling. She wrote, Thank you so much. tht was all she could really say. Nagai wiped her eyes and nose.

(I have 3 minutes left in my free class period so I'll be back either when I get home or if I get done with other work early.)

Okie, no problem!//

Lata smiled back, overjoyed that Nagai had liked the bracelet. The other was likely rich, but despite this, was happy with something a mere poor girl had gifted her with. It touched Lata's heart that the older girl had even put it on.
The relief that seemed to be flooding the room was such a wonderful calming chance in contrast to the chaos of the broken down sector of the city.
Wiping away more tears, the young girl stared up at Nagai, wondering so many things. Why come to the worn down slum in the first place? Why continue to visit her after seeing how bad the area was? Deciding that the questions could wait a bit longer, she continued to let the happy moment last.

Nagai smiled at the younger girl. She wished she could do something for her, give her a better life, but she knew her father would be suspicious. There wouldn’t be a way without raising her father’s suspicion and possibly getting not just herself, but Lata as well, in trouble. The only thing she could do for the time being was help her with food, water, and other necessities.
