[She doesn't seem to notice where she's popped up; she's sitting with her back against a bed, wiping at her eyes and sniffing occasionally. She's looking at this photo.]

I-I wonder... I hope th-they are eating all right. D-did I make enough to last...?

[Have a rather exhausted looking Hei.] Miss Honda?

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

Eh?! [SURPRISED. Didn't realize where she was.] Wh-wh-what, how, I didn't mean to...!

[contract_star]

Ah! N-no, it's fine...people come here by accident all the time.

Are...are you okay?

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

Oh, y-yes, of course. [Sm...smile...]

[contract_star]

Are you sure? You don't seem...

Ah, but I suppose it's not really my business...

[Minato stands nearby, watching her and saying nothing.]

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

[Sniffs again, wipes her eyes, and realizes.... no floor.] Oh! Oh no, h-how did I g-get here?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

[Minato shrugs.]

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

[Was sort of asking herself--but at the nod, she notices Minato.] AH! U-um, h-hello.

[ Oh, seeing nice people upset really bothers Angela. She immediately comes over. ] Tohru, are you okay?

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

[SURPRISE.] EH?! A-angela-san, h-how did you... [Realization.] Oh, um. Th-this was an accident. I am... quite all r-right, really. [OBVIOUS LIE.]

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Oh, stop it. If you were all right, you wouldn't be crying. [ Brief poof, and she returns with a fancy-looking kerchief that she dots Tohru's eyes with. She remembers Tohru catering to her before and she'll be darned if she doesn't return the favor. ] So tell me who hurt you so I can send a few fire spells their direction.

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

[Alarm; she has it.] Oh, n-no, really, it isn't their fault--I-I'm the one r-relying on them, after all.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Tohru? What happened? Are you alright?

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

Eh? Wh-what? [Looks up, surprised.] Shun-san?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

It's me. What happened to make you cry like that? Did someone hurt you?

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

N-no, I was not crying. I just... had something in my eye!

[madamemoiselle]

...Tohru?

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

Eh? Oh! D...Diva-san! I... [Wipes her eyes.]

[madamemoiselle]

What's wrong?

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

N-nothing, r-really.

[only-a-pup.livejournal.com]

[Toboe wonders over, whining softly when he sees Tohru crying] Tohru-chan, what's wrong?

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

Eh? Oh, T-Toboe-san. [Rubs at her eyes hastily.] I-I am fine, r-really.

[only-a-pup.livejournal.com]

[He whines again, nuzzling at her hand] But you're crying...

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

I-I'm all r-right, r-really. [Hugs him]
