[ayato voice] DISGUSTING

Kevin McTrash has been reserved for you, you fucking gaylord!

The infirmary was most definitely not one of the places Touka wanted to be in her current state. Fractured shoulder? She could tough it out. A chunk out of her leg? Slap a bandage on it. What she couldn't deal with, though, was the faces and scents of the injured as they trekked in and out. After a while, the traffic had died down to a crawl, leaving her nearly alone in the place. She had protested staying any longer than she had to, but apparently her injuries and inability to move her left arm had told her otherwise. And so she waited in silence, head tilted back against the bed rail, left arm slung across her chest. 

It was boring as hell, and she honestly wanted something to do so she didn't have time to think on the events of the past few weeks. Reflection was never a good thing for Touka. One thing led to another, and eventually guilt would eat away her motivation to do anything. She had to keep moving. She couldn't backtrack.

Her single visitor, however, would break that line of thinking completely. Upon hearing the footsteps, her eyes snapped open and her body tensed. Immediately, her gaze locked on the empty doorway that had yet to be entered. The scent was vaguely familiar, but she prayed that it wasn't who she thought it was.

Then again, her presence could also be just what Touka needed. Her words caught in her throat for a moment, but she managed to get them out in the end.

It took quite a bit for Touka Kirishima to be speechless, but to her such a statement hit like a ton of lead to the chest. A seemingly blank stare met Takane’s, though behind that her mind was racing. Abandonment had always been her own biggest fear. So many times in her life she had been left behind, and now, with Takane…

It wasn’t because Touka had left for the games. It couldn’t have been. It was because she had taken that Shintaro kid from her that she was alone.

Naturally as soon as this thought crossed her mind, the ghoul practically stopped breathing. Her mouth opened slightly, but no words could be formed. Suddenly, she was the person she had hoped she would never become. She was the one leaving people alone. She felt her eyes sting with tears she could hardly hold back. It was stupidly selfish of her and physically hurt to say, but…

14: jawline kiss

Dark blue, seemingly empty eyes stared down at the girl curled up in front of her. Touka pursed her lips, kneeling down slightly. There was too much that she wanted to say in the still air that surrounded the two, but her breath hitched in her throat as soon as she opened her mouth. There was nothing she could have said that could lessen any of the pain, both mental and physical, she had caused.

Touka pressed her head to the table before her, taking a deep breath. "Hey…" She had to get something out, she decided. Maybe if she spoke she would find some sort of confirmation, some sort of closure for herself. "I’m sorry, Takane." A brief press of her lips to the girl’s jaw, but nothing more. The freezing temperature of her skin warded the ghoul off very quickly before any other emotions could arise. "And…goodbye."

There was a lovely park Castiel had found on the first island. He had always been fond of parks. It was almost like an art form. Humans simulated nature while putting in beautiful architectural elements. Only probably was nature wasn't exactly that perfect looking. However, he found it all to be very beautiful in a way. 

He decided to take some time to relax there and collect his thoughts. A lot had been happening on the island and it was all a bit too much for Cas to take in. The park should get him into a calmer state of mind. Calmly, he made his way to a bench and sat down. Just as he wanted, the park was soothing and calm. That was, until someone sat down next to him.

Castiel looked over to see a young girl beside him. What was that she was doing? Was that...some sort of game? It seemed like she as very good at it. He shifted his view to the trees around the two of them. He should probably make some small talk at the very least, right?

Was it just a thing for people in this school to fall asleep all over the place?

Touka paused at the bottom of the stairwell, her eyes settling on a particular arcade game in the lobby. Well, to be more specific, the girl asleep on top of the arcade game. Her brow furrowed at the sight, and the ghoul let out an annoyed grunt before starting forward.

Really, were these people not afraid of death at all? As she approached the girl, not at all trying to conceal her presence or footsteps, she couldn't help but assume this was why the body count was so high. If it was really this easy to find an unassuming target, she could see why killers struck.

As soon as such a thought crossed her mind, she halted in her tracks, looming over the girl. She snatched the girl's shoulder with an iron grip, shaking her hard once or twice. If her head hit the screen a few times, oh well. "Hey. Wake up. Now's not the time to be dozing off." she grumbled, kicking the arcade game for emphasis.
