[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.

[She nods.]

It seemed relatively easy for her. Petals are not always very substantial after all.

[Vianca that might not be what Watt meant.]

... We are all right. Yes. Enough so.

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?

[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.

[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.

[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.

[Watt lowered her head a little, then nodded slowly.]

Um, I can understand that. I think if I was put into that situation, and it was only me…I would be too scared to tell anyone too. That, or…just tell my very closest friends.

[She then looked back up at Vianca, still looking as concerned as ever.]

But still, as scary as it is, you gotta tell someone if you’re in trouble, even if it’s just you! Um, I know there’s a lot of people that can really help you out. I can even help out you too! I don’t mind at all, honest!
