Puffs of white winter breaths continuously escaped the lips of the officers. Nozomi approached them in silence with the absence of snow crunching beneath her feet. Just when she got close enough, she opened her mouth to ask for information.
"We better call it a night. Not much we can do now." One officer announced. "Let's pick it up in the morning."
Not the slightest glance was cast towards Nozomi. The officers climbed into their cars and drove away, leaving Nozomi to watch the snow blow back from the force of the cars parting through the elements.
Nozomi was uncertain what to make of the situation. Although crime rates were low in her sleepy hometown of Cinq Papillons, peace was disturbed every once in a while. Whatever this was, somebody was hurt, and Nozomi hoped it wasn't any of her cherished ones.
It was difficult to tell what time it was. Late, judging by the black sky and the officer's remarks. Nozomi wasn't feeling even the slightest fatigued, simply confused and trying to process everything.
"I wonder where Rin-chan and everyone are..." Nozomi murmured. "Mom and dad are going to be worried."
Nozomi started to jog back to her home.
