𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐣𝐢. @StarryOracles

Something that exhausts me is the lack of faith I have in people… yet, I have to do so because no one is trustworthy to begin with. It’s a bit of an unfortunate circumstance but.. with enough studying, I’m sure I’ll find someone.

@Hiruko30XX Typical. [ Nozomi sighed, she gently kicked her feet up and down to further distract herself. Of course the Suminos here are all the same.. same as him. What else would she expect. ] I can't.. really say much about. emotional things right now because of how I acted but.. eugh.

[ @Hiruko30XX ] [ Nozomi had trailed along the familiar road within the ruins, so many memories came surging at once with what’s she had endured. All the hiding… none of it was worth it in the end. She needed to head back to the Academy or else, she’d lose her mind... + ]

@Hiruko30XX All they do is promise you things that were never going to come to fruition; it's so tiring trying to put any good faith in them because they always find ways to squander it... [ Nozomi moved a little bit more away from Hiruko to avoid potentially getting burnt by the flame. ]

@Hiruko30XX ... [ Nozomi stayed silent for a moment, seemingly trying to... prevent anything that shouldn't be said from coming out whatsoever. ] Sumino... tch... good-for-nothing liars... all of them... they promise you everything and more in hopes of you becoming some pawn to them...

@Hiruko30XX He? [ Her head perked up a bit, allured by the sheer mention of this mysterious person. ] Who's... he? Are you going to tell me it's an Aotsuki... because honestly, as much as I hate saying this, I'd expect that too... even if I give versions of him the benefit of the doubt.

@Hiruko30XX ...How long do you think it'll take to repair yourself completely? [ She tries to initiate in small talk.. seemingly to distract herself from being rather manic at the moment. She just needed a distraction. Anything. Anything at all. ]

@Hiruko30XX … [ Nozomi sighed, she seemed a little agitated she was being spoken to like this but compared to anything else, she sounded.. somewhat genuine if anything. ] I’m not tired, Shizuhara. I can’t force myself to sleep. Especially after all the shit that’s happened to me.

@Hiruko30XX ... [ Nozomi picked up Hiruko's bottom half and placed them right next to her. She merely sat away from Hiruko but still close enough to let her know she was listening to her. ] ...Am I? I couldn't... tell. My mind sorta.. shut off.

@Hiruko30XX ..... [ She sighed. Wiping all the tears off of her face as if nothing happened. As a matter of fact, she just. stopped looking like anything was effecting her. ] [ She gave Hiruko a blank expression, not trying to challenge or intimidate her. Just.. staring. ] What?

@Hiruko30XX [ Nozomi’s uncontrollable outburst was making her hyperventilate now. Tears streaming down her face, just kicking and kicking and trying to take all of her anger out on whatever she can. It doesn’t help that she’s not right in the head either. Not at all. ]

@Hiruko30XX Can you NOT get on my nerves for one SECOND?? You do not know the THINGS I had to do to get here and being here and dealing with you and the fact I can’t even. GHHRGHHHHH…!!!!!!!! [ Nozomi begins repeatedly kicking Hiruko’s lower half, excessively, over and over again. ] +

@Hiruko30XX [ Eventually, she looked at Hiruko’s lower half and eventually tipped it over off of where she was set onto the floor. A quick succession of anger jolting through her body because she can practically sense how uncaring she was being. ] ………..

@Hiruko30XX Tch. [ She seemed to be getting angry again. What is her deal. Who does she think she is. ] [ Nozomi snatches the carton of cigarettes she had taken out and dropped it on the floor. Stomping on it. Her face seemingly getting more frustrated. ] +

@Hiruko30XX I don’t typically care about the opinions of others but you’ve got me speaking about myself like this is our first time meeting. [ Sigh. Hearing explanations from others was always annoying. ] I only have my name and my power. That’s all. There’s nothing normal about me.

@Hiruko30XX If I knew how to define myself, I would’ve done so already. [ Nozomi rolled her eyes, crossing her arms in annoyance at that statement. ] …Agh, whatever, why would you even care. Why am I even saying any of these things? Tch…

@Hiruko30XX [ She sighed, she knew she wasn't going to care. Nozomi was envious with how stoic and sure of everything Hiruko was. She had many things to figure out.. and it pissed her off internally. She wished she could solve them all at once... but to no avail, she couldn't do so. ]

@Hiruko30XX ...I suppose so. [ The items that were previously on the table had fallen on the floor, seemingly due to her pacing about and shouting. ] I'm sorry I can't be what you think I am. It must be so easy to just decide characteristics like that. Maybe then I'd have an identity. +

@Hiruko30XX [ Nozomi sighed as a butterfly came out once more, instead, circling around Nozomi.. her frown on her face fading a bit. As if the butterfly was soothing her nerves. ]

@Hiruko30XX ...Those don't reek of tobacco. [ Nozomi pointed out.. a little curious about the cigarettes Hiruko had been smoking for quite a while now. ] Why smoke if you can't gain the satisfaction of smoking? +

@Hiruko30XX ... [ Nozomi sighed as she let go of Hiruko's wrist, seemingly shaken up. What had happened? She was extremely fierce and sure of being something else but unfortunately, she couldn't keep it up for much longer. ] ...Fine.
