[retrogrades]

There's no... point in... any of this!

[Chihiro starts tearing pages out of her beloved diary, scattering them across her room. To be honest though, the room itself isn't in great shape--what should be a nice, neat, impossibly orderly room is now a terrible mess.

She stops suddenly though, as if realizing what she's doing.]

W-What am I doing?! I have to... put them back... right?

[Her hands are trembling as she struggles to collect the scattered pages, as if fighting something off, but in the end she can't help it, and she throws them all across the room again. Crying now, she heads for her door and runs.]

Why am I alone?!

[ooc: Chihiro is heading out of Marshall and towards Latimir! Feel free to run into here. \o/ Also, because I forgot last time--Chihiro now has a CR page! Go ahead and comment if you've talked to her before. Or, if you're already on the list, want me to change the icon... or something. Yeah.]

It's not like I wanted to do it this, you know!

_{[ She actually tries to skid and stop herself from walking, then she tries to pull her hand away from Chihiro. ]} Hnngh!

_{[ Her grip on her wrist only gets tighter. ]}

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Y-You're starting to hurt me.

[bubbleteatime.livejournal.com]

I, I didn't mean to! I'm sorry, Chihiro, but I'll figure something out--

_{[ Suddenly, the hand that's holding Chihiro moves in such a way that it's trying to twist Chihiro's arm ]} Gyaah! Sorry sorry sorry sorry!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Let go, let go!

[bubbleteatime.livejournal.com]

Ah-

_{[ For a moment, she tries to move her fingers. They do. Carefully, she lets go of Chihiro. ]}

... _{[ Holding the hand she just managed to get control of, she walks even faster. ]}

W-Wait up...

_{[ Taiwan stops when she hears her, but she doesn't turn back, and at the same time, ]} Stay back!

I don't want to hurt my friends. If I'm going to lose them like this again, then...

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

We're... friends?

1/2

[bubbleteatime.livejournal.com]

_{[ That's a stab to the heart. ]}

[bubbleteatime.livejournal.com]

Of course we are! What... did you think we were?

1/2

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

You're saying... I know you?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

N-No, you're lying! That can't be true! I can't... make friends...

[bubbleteatime.livejournal.com]

I've known you since you first got here. It wasn't too long ago! Don't you remember? How could I lie about something like that... And don't say that! Why are you so--<sub>[ cruel. ]

[ She wipes a tear away with the base of her thumb, frustrated. ]</sub> I thought I met someone real, too.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

No, I don't remember! I don't remember anything! Not why I'm here, why people know me--nothing!

[bubbleteatime.livejournal.com]

That's impossible! _{[ She can't even stand being around her right now. ]} You really think you can get away with that?

_{[ She hisses then groans. ]} Everyone's the same after all! They use you just to make them feel good about themselves, then when they don't need you anymore, that's when they...!

_{[ Her hand starts shaking. Her feet suddenly feel heavy. ]} Urgh...

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

You think I want to be like this?! I'd give anything to be able to remember people, anything!
