"It's fine. I'll keep ask-" she managed before spotting the onrushing Hokuto.
When, Signum wondered as the second person in as many minutes jumped at her, Did I start giving the impression that I'm someone to be touched? It had never, ever been like this before. She stood apart from the world around her, and others sensed that distance and did not attempt to cross it. Hayate was the only exception... which was suitable, because Hayate was the one thing that bound her to the world of the living.
Maybe she really had lost that aura of untouchability because she had left the world she didn't belong in for one where nobody belonged more than anyone else. Or maybe, she admitted as she caught the girl, it was only Hokuto's own stubborn friendliness that had brought this on.
"It's good to see you again, Hokuto," she said, completely deadpan.
