-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...

[nekomikoreimu]

So you'd rather just sit here and waste away to nothing instead of trying to get better?

You are not acting like the shrine maiden I know Sanae. I am very disappointed.

[hihou]

It's my choice, isn't it? I don't need your approval...

[nekomikoreimu]

Well, I think it's a stupid choice.

[hihou]

I don't care...

[nekomikoreimu]

Well I don't care that you don't care.

[hihou]

Fine then. Just go.

[nekomikoreimu]

It's my shrine. I can leave when I want.

[She sighs deeply then sits down.]

If you're not leaving this room, then I guess I'll stay here until you do.

[hihou]

No. Leave. I want to be alone.

[nekomikoreimu]

If I leave you here, you are just going to stay here until you cry yourself to sleep.

Look, you need food, and you need to face what you did.

[hihou]

I said go AWAY! -And Sanae found her strength, rearing back to slap Reimu, to drive her point home. Hungry or not, she wanted to be alone and nothing was going to change that.-

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu made no move to stop Sanae, and let herself be slapped. However, Reimu didn't even flinch when the hand hit, and just stood then looking at Sanae.]

[hihou]

I want to be left alone.

[nekomikoreimu]

And then what? What are you going to do all alone here?

[hihou]

...

I don't know.

[nekomikoreimu]

Don't you see anything wrong with that at all? Yes you are sad, yes something bad happened, but that was in the past.

I never let the past control my present or future. I act in the now. And you should too/

[hihou]

I'm not as strong as you are.

[nekomikoreimu]

Not as strong yes, but close. You think I would have let you keep your shrine if you weren't strong and fit for the job?

[hihou]

I had my divinity then.

[nekomikoreimu]

Well I'm just a normal human, and I hold my own against much more then you do.
