Kana-chan was still. She calmly sipped the tea laid out in front of her, the traditional ceremony usually giving her peace when her mind was turbulent. But when she went to place her cup back down her hands shook, and the tea cup clacked against the table top with a small 'click'. To Kana, it was ear splitting. So were her thoughts.
She inhaled shakily, closely her eyes as thoughts of duty and fate bounced around in her head. It was forlornly that she gazed up for her answers, thinking of Chihaya's bitter tears cascading so unashamedly, almost unnoticed, down fair cheeks.
She hadn't mentioned it, and neither had Chihaya. Honestly, that could be because she hadn't recognised it for herself.
Kana's lips downturned, her eyes too wizened. She wondered if it was her duty, to tell Chihaya that which she hadn't even begun to recognise for herself. She wondered if it was her responsibility or prudence to interfere. Chihaya deserved to know. Mashima didn't deserve to break.
Or maybe it would float away in winds as a high school could have should have would have been, taking the test of time and failing in the face of what almost was. Was it her choice to meddle? To help Chihaya, whose bitter tears left a hollow ache in the pit of Kana's stomach?
She clenched her tea cup tightly. Or perhaps that would be the undoing. Chihaya's inability to perceive, her ignorance of herself, of Taichi. With her interference perhaps that blight would continue, to fester and grow to a point where it would merely be self-sabotage to say anything, to do anything. To hinder her duty.
Kana closed her eyes fiercely.
But I do think those feelings may be gradually fading away…
She opened her economics book.
Please, Chihaya… do something before it is too late.
