Miku pushed open the door to get away from the smell wafting down the main corridor. She swallowed some of the bile down that threatened to surge up into her throat and sighed. Her face felt hot, and her hands seemed clammy. Miku worried if there was something she would see tomorrow night, and hoped she didn't know the victim.

Her thoughts turned to Ritsuka, and her stomach dropped into her knees. "Sousuke," she squeezed her new boyfriend's (again, that was such a weird... word to use) hand and shined her light up the stairwell. "You don't see anything, do you?"

Miku took the shirt and pressed it to her face gratefully. It was still warm and smelled like him, but with the overshirt gone, it gave Miku firsthand access to the damage wrought by their attacker the night before. She pursed her lips under the shirt and gave him a knowing look over the fabric.

She wasn't going to be the only one resting when this was over. Stomach calmed, for the moment, Miku started up the stairwell.

Sousuke didn't like seeing her disapproving looks, but the pain that he was enduring was for her sake. He would rather see the scars on his own body than on hers. Certainly she could understand that...?

Women were confusing.

He followed her intently, making sure nothing was coming up behind them. Stairwells were always the most dangerous places...

She understood alright, but it didn't mean she had to like it. Miku hesitated to think what would've happened had Sousuke been the one to join her in the Himuro mansion two years earlier. He likely would have tried to feed the Family Master's sword to him.

The thought cheered her away from worrying who it was plastered over the walls in the main corridor. "Thank you, Sousuke. For the shirt, I mean," she added quickly, so that he wouldn't become confused.
