-The voice on the other end is... tired. Weak from fasting. But probably from spending days upon days crying in her room as well. No one is keeping score.-

If my miracle powers were working... I could solve this famine. Why won't they work? Why can't I do any good here?

... I really am just taking up space, aren't I? A waste of everyone's time...

I'm not sure I can believe that.

Sanae-san, you are sick right now. You haven't eaten well. [And upset because of the incident with Nue, but she's not so stupid as to bring that up right now.]

I have a few oranges I never got around to eating, in my room...why don't you have one? I can bring it over.

[hihou]

I don't know... I don't want to see anyone.

[bloomnobly]

But you must eat, one way or another. [ For the first time since she arrived here, she feels genuinely worried about her well-being. Sure, the pirate queen's revenge was...certainly something, but she didn't feel as if the girls who were taken were in any real, mortal danger.

But they weren't eating. This was...serious. ]

[hihou]

I don't have to...

[bloomnobly]

Yes, you do, if only for your human blood.

[hihou]

I can just die again.

[bloomnobly]

[ She twitches a bit. ]

Don't say such things.

[hihou]

... Sorry.
