As soon as the words left her lips, Eri, the little girl's eyes widened slightly.

You can stop running.

So simple, and yet the girl is now looking at her like she's her entire world. And this just breaks her heart.

The world isn't fair. The world tortured her sister then took her away from Kōki, the world left a little girl to grow up in fear and leave her tattered like the child before her. Ironically the only fair thing of the world is the fact that it's unfair to everyone that lived within it.

Eri's eyes did not swell with tears, but they were wide and they glitter with the faintest of hope, like she couldn't even believe what she's seeing, what's happening. Kōki has no idea what to do really. She isn't her sister, she don't miraculously know what she needs or know what to do to life her mood, she doesn't even know this girl and she has no idea how to comfort her.

biting her lip, Kōki gently collects her into a hug. Eri stiffens in her arms, but relaxes as she realized that She wasn't going to do anything.

"What is this?" Eri's voice was hoarse as she asked. An innocent little question, but her heart twists.

"It's called a hug." Kōki answers softly. "Eri-chan, this is called a hug, and it's good. It means you're safe."

Eri buries her face in her tank top.

"Do you want me to call the police?" Kōki asks as she pulls away. "Or Heroes. They can probably help you better- The station isn't that far-"

Koki stopped, Eri's eyes are wide as she frantically shook her head. Like the idea of even calling the police, or Pro heroes, terrified her. Kōki wanted to ask why, but the expression on the girl's face stopped her.

She don't want to know.

She daren't.

Kōki gulped, then gently fixed Eri's tattered clothes. It looks like a hospital gown, but it's dirty and ripped and stained with dark rusted reds, and Kōki dread to know what was done to her.

Things like this shouldn't exist.

It really, really, shouldn't.

But what now? If not the police, or Heroes, where can Kōki take her? To that house? She couldn't, no way. Where else then? She looks like she really needs a meal of sorts, but it's still too early for any restaurants to be open in this area.

Eri tugged at the hem of her shirt.

"K... Kōki-Onee-san?"

Kōki's heart melts.

"Com'on, Let's go."
