A/N: Again, I share my works on AOO, too under the same username.

To and Fro

A mail addressed to her was unlikely. She doesn't remember visiting an online shop then, much less place an order for additional devices she would need to utilize a deed for.. well, whoever would find her work beneficial the very second she once again step foot in Myojo. Perhaps, the light brown envelop rightfully belonged next door – at least she thought so, but her name was on there and so is her complete address.

The contents, as it had turned out, are of her graduation diploma from Black Class along with a letter from Ichinose herself. The diploma alone was more than enough to indicate that the so-called competition was over. Yet she figured it was unnecessary as the class itself was nothing but a front to deceive unsuspecting eyes while numerous attempts and plots of ways to take Ichinose's life are put to play for different purposes. Selfish – to an extent is how she'd like to describe it, and ironically, she's also admittedly guilty of. Seeing the letter that came with, however, explained it all; why the unneeded delivery of her diploma? Of course, to Haru it's different, and there was no way for her to suppress the small smile that hanged by the corner of her lips and the mix of amused and relieved feeling she had felt as she read through the redhead's writing. Haru is ever so endearing.

But Shiena couldn't think of anyone – anything for a potential origin of the mail she had received that day (before learning that it was from Ichinose.) She knew it couldn't possibly be from the previous organization she was once associated with. It couldn't possibly be a one-last-request sort of business from the firm; Collective Dismissal doesn't have any reason to upon personally announcing permanent withdrawal herself and cutting ties with a little less than a week following her hospital release. It couldn't be a death threat from them either; Collective Dismissal aren't as petty as the other assassination groups she's aware of. Although, there actually is one person that is likely to send her one, but she highly doubts the possibility. She doesn't think letters of such and the likes would manage to leave the premises of the facility.

Definitely not.

There's just no way.

Shiena-chan!

It's me! Your beloved roommate! Are you surprised? Are you happy? I really think you should be happy, after all who wouldn't be happy to receive a letter from me? Or maybe you'd prefer some more cuts inflicted by yours truly? Ohh, Shiena-chan, don't you worry. I promise to come and get you when I get out of here! Three years shouldn't be that long, right? Right? Heh, until then, Shiena-chan! I miss you!

Otoya

Maybe not.

Now, where did she put the lighter again?
