“You are…a member of the Union?” It’s a quiet question from a quiet women / she’s not curious, exactly, as she is very little except caged / except bound / except weak. Emotions are far away from her most days — if she allowed herself to feel, even the smallest amount, the misery and grief making a home in her chest would swallow her whole, kill her — or worse. is there worse? yes, she’s living it.
Yuuhime is not curious, exactly, just wounded. Her head tilts, eyes empty and fathomless. “I am…familiar with some in the Union.” She thinks of Tang Xuan, pale hands curling tighter around one another. He wants to save her. No one has been so kind to her since…it doesn’t matter. “They seem…kind.”
