36. Yukari and the Stars

Usually, I would stay confined to this little house, knitting and sewing, waiting for some kind of grim news, but, this time, I wanted to go up to the top of the trees and look at the stars. There are many lost souls and they've all become stars. Each and every one of them. I gap my way up to high branch with a sky's view and start to count and name them off. Two of the brighter ones are Flandre and Remilia, having been reunited. Another pair of bright stars are Shinki and Alice. A smaller bright star is Cirno and the bigger one next to it is Marisa. An even smaller and very hard to see star is Sanae and a small but bright star right next to it was Suwako. I didn't see Kanako's star, though, but, then again, she didn't really die, per say. I count them all and I find there are far too many to count, too many lost souls. A few tears rolled down my face and I whispered, "We'll live, for your sake, for all of you." I bid them good night and gapped back to my little house. I went back to my knitting, knitting a blanket of sky and stars.

I hated that
She knew I didn't like baths but
I got one
