Disclaimer: ...is this necessary?

She had a habit of laughing so hard that she cried.

Quite a few people knew about it; after all, she was always laughing and smiling. She cried only after she was truly and completely cracked up, as humans put it, but that happened often enough that it was no secret. The secret was why she cried.

It was the practice, the Spirit Detective had a ferry girl assistant, and that assistant was occasionally her. Then the Detective aged and died and she stayed young, perfect, and mirthful.

So when she cried, maybe she was doing penance for still laughing.


A/N: Inspired by a time when I was thinking about my tendency to do this. It's not amazing, but I worked hard to keep it at 100 words (which it is exactly, thank you very much). You see, I have a habit of rambling, so I had trouble. Oh, and I have no canon base for this, in case you were wondering.

Please review!
