“Yeah, you’re right,” Yuina said. She looked back over her shoulder to the hallway, a cooling evening breeze drifted through the window, ruffling her hair and tickling the back of her neck. The light outside the room flickered again and reds of the distant horizon bled through the windows. Still, knowing the hallway was scary didn’t really do much to settle the bundle of nerves in her stomach when she looked back down at the drop. Would Karen be fine? She was always carrying the burdens for the both of them, always getting hurt.
Yuina nodded her head and the ruffles of her dress returned to the neat lines of her school uniform in a puff of smoke. “I’m sorry for always troubling you like this.” She said with a small smile.
“If you think you can make it, then I know you can” Yuina added. She reached out and after a faint hesitation she placed her hand on Karen’s shoulder. She gave her friend a small squeeze. “We are partners afterall, right? Uh, and sorry if I’m a little too big to give a piggyback ride too.” She added, with a little laugh to help brush away the tension she could feel on the tips of her fingers.
