[Perhaps she had waited too long to say anything… but probably it was only too late if nothing was said. It was important to say something, but she knew it was a foolish move to do it if she did not have a chance to do anything for herself. The incident with Mary had left her beaten, there was no denying it. After speaking with Ai, there was no doubt that she had a similar experience with the blonde, and that she had also been told to keep quiet.

As silent as she normally was, this was not something she would stay quiet over. She knew better than to do it recklessly, however. Measures were taken to make sure her sister was safe. This would be ok.]

[Hey look it's the tiny librarian that has made herself incredibly scarce recently. She doesn't look happy, but when has she ever looked happy? More so, she seemed a bit… sad. Those that knew her knew she was very quiet, but she was speaking up now.]

Hello. I will be brief, as I will not say anything good.

Some of you may know Mary. Some may not. She hurt my sister. She ripped off her petals. She assaulted me. She took some of mine. I do not know if you know what that means. I do not know if you know what it means to destroy a petal. It is not good. It hurts. Mary told me to be quiet, but I will not.

I know some of you have flowers of your own. Please take care of them. Please be wary.

Thank you.

I...y-yeah, petals are pretty easy to pluck out, but if you say that it still hurts a lot, then...I still don't get why she would do that, especially if she knew that it would hurt you guys!!

At least it's good that, um, you and Ai are okay. Um, is there anything I can do to make things all better again?

I did mean in the event that I needed to do additional.

... But I did not do all I could for Rhys. I do not think you are correct.

[There was a slight tilt of her head in that way that she does.]

A bit taller than me, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She is very pretty.

[She thought about it for a moment. Physically speaking, there was not a lot that Watt could do. All that could have been done was done.]

You are friends with Ai, correct? I think more happy company would be nice for her.

I am aware. "Additional" is not my decision to make. I have already asked for too much.

[Your albatrossssss.]

Your place?

[A pause. This seemed like a familiar story trend... A few, actually.]

As a friend or as a human?

Hm. Not for much longer.

[There was anoter moment of staring at the words on the screen. Had it just been an event that had happened to Vianca, things would be different. She probably would not have said anything, for one, but she also probably would have looked at these words in a different way. Might have asked the outcome of them to be different. But it had not just been herself.]

I see.

OK. But was that because you didn't know what to do? Or because you didn't know exactly what was happening at the time? I doubt it was because you didn't care to do anything to help.

Both.

[That sure came out flatly.]

I learned that she could only leave by taking the place of another. She wanted to be this person's friend very badly.

[More like they read her diary after her painting was burned.]

She was...lonely and trapped there. I felt very bad for her. I really did. I promised her I'd help her lead a much better life here. I really wanted that.

[Sigh...while we're on that.]

Where I was from, she never left. When we found her secret place where her painting was, she went crazy.

She tried to kill us.

[He pulled out his silver lighter.]

...I had to burn it.

[Watt nodded enthusiastically.]

Of course! You can count on me to help Ai through with this! I...um, something similar like this happened to me before a long time ago...with the, um, not being able to tell everyone about something really really bad happening to me and my friend too...so, um, I can understand a little about what she's going through.

[She paused, letting her thoughts get to her for a while, before speaking up again.]

I think, um, you're really brave for speaking up like this. I wouldn't have been able to do it, at least, not for a really really long time afterwards.

Huh? So it's not what someone is that matters? ...You don't know anything about people, then. I bet you don't even know what TV shows are saying.

I do. My flower was taken before for the same reasons. But it is not who they are that is the problem. It is that they want any reason to hurt people. They choose to lash out like a frightened monster before they think like the civilized people they pretend to be, human or not, so it is their actions that is the problem.

Like yours.

You're wrong.

[She doesn't have much more of an argument than that, but she knows that's wrong. Garry tried to take Ib away from her just because of what she was, even before she had to hurt him. Everyone else here would be just the same.]

You're wrong, and I reeeally hope you don't get hurt again by someone else!

[Vianca gave a very slight shrug.]

Then continue to let your actions speak for you instead. I am sure that will go very well for you.

'Too much' is subjective, Lady Vianca.

[ ~~I'M NOT LAAAAATE~~ Rhys cares a lot about Vianca. If Rhys cares about someone, Ulki will do his best to watch over them, too. But to hear that she'd been injured in such a gruesome way... What a twisted girl, to do that to not one, but two innocent victims. ]

Why did she do this to you and your sister?

[~~NOT AT ALL.~~ Oh. Vianca was a little embarrassed to see that Ulki had replied, seeing as it was he that brought her to Rhys that first time. It had happened again. What a bother she was.]

I do not know why she hurt Ai. I do not know if it was for the same reasons... but she did not like the things that I knew.

I was worried but... I was also very selfish. It is not a good thing to be.

Hm.

[That certainly explained a lot about Mary.]

I am sorry.

[Ah. It was a bit disheartening to hear that something similar had happened to Watt, but also strangely encouraging. From what Vianca had observed, the other girl had remained mostly cheerful, despite whatever it was that had obviously befell her. That meant that surely everything could turn out all right for her sister as well, someday. This was good.

Vianca shook her head slightly though, glancing down at her keys.]

... No, I am not very brave. I should have spoken earlier... If it had been just me, I would not have said anything at all.

I assume that these things involve your sister. What were her reasons for hurting you, then?

...Do either of you require Rhys's assistance?

Well... it's difficult. Sometimes, folks are selfish BECAUSE they're worried. And it's OK to be worried for your own welfare too, y'know.

[And like that. He was taken off guard.]

What?

Why are you apologizing?
