❛ no offense, but you look terrible. ❜ - @corruptiongifted
The worst part was that she couldn’t even feel offended by his remark. Higuchi had seen her reflexion on the windows on her shameful walk towards her table. Seeing Higuchi with dark circles under her eyes would be as an usual sight as Gin carrying knives. She somehow doubted that was the fact the Executive was referring to, despite them doing nothing to better her general appearance. “I fell.” Pushed was the exact word. More than that, she rolled down a hill. Higuchi might have dispatched her attacker, but she still had to walk her way back to the headquarter, looking pathetic and miserable with disheveled hair, a patch of scratched skin on her face and clothes as blatantly dirty they screamed what happened to her.
It came to her that his presence might mean she had been forgetting something important amidst her sudden moment of self pity. It made her froze. Not only it would unprofessional of her to forget about such thing, as it would add to her embarrassment if she had to face the rest of the higher ups before she had any time to tidy up. Not that half the mafia hadn’t seen her already -- she was almost sure someone even took a picture, talk about the lack of respect. “I’m not... forgetting about anything, am I?”
