Hmm, group work. Tear made it sound like she was having issues with lab partners not turning in their portion of the assignment. Not a reason to make the face she had when she first came in. "Uh huh." Like Shiina was buying that.

Maybe it was something more personal, though. Shiina would have issues talking about what happened at school that final day with someone like Tear. She probably hadn't seen her own homeroom teacher and fellow pupils murdered at point-blank gunpoint or anything of that sort. If Tear was just having boy problems, then maybe it would be different. This had to be something pretty extreme.

"Y'know..." Shiina poked a bit at her asparagus now that her pie was gone. She kept her eyes down, not wanting to seem too intrusive. "I know things have been kinda crazy lately. Sometimes it's a little overwhelming. But, don't worry." A soft smile lighted on her lips. "We'll get out of here soon. I know it."
