Hanako

Hanako saw the disaster unfold in slow motion, how the box titled in her grip, angling sidewards as the lip popped open and the contents all fell out. She tried to rush forward to try and save what she could, catch them under paw before the waves dragged everything out to sea, but the water was murky and dark, kicked up sand making it impossible to even see the fire of her toes. It was all gone. The bracelet Mortis had made for her, the pretty things Azure had bought for her at the fare, all lost to the sea.

Hanako wheeled on the stranger, her eyes alight with hurt and frustration. Those were things she could never get back, the memories stolen along with them.

"What-" For a girl whose words often came so easily, Hanako struggled to even string a line of thoughts together. She couldn't tell what hurt the most, that she'd trusted the girl to do the bare minimum or that she'd been powerless to stop it. "I asked you to do one thing and you-" She clicked her teeth shut as she turned and rushed to wade out of the water, the rest of her things could drown. She didn't want them any more. "Forget it!"

Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes as Hanako stomped her way up the sandbank, shoulders shuddering as her feelings mounted within her. She was not a happy fish to say the least.
