Who: Maeko, Misaki
What: Talking, protecting, watching the fireworks from windows.
Where: Tenth floor of an appartment block opposite the skypark.
When: After letters.
Why: Because Maeko is crazy and paranoid.

Maeko hadn't been lying when she'd said the appartment where she'd lived with her mother and father was small. There really wasn't room for three people.

Misaki had been intructed by both Maeko (in hushed voice) and Michio (in sign that seemed much louder by comparison despite its silence) to sit down and read or something and be quiet while Maeko was at work. She'd been left in Maeko's room.

And it was a very good job that she wasn't claustrophobic.

The room was very pink, with wallpaper involving the misadventures of white cartoon rabbits with balloons and glow-in-the-dark plastic stars on the ceiling. It was almost the exact size of the single futon that was right now kept in the small wardrobe at the far end. A desk and chair of sorts were just in front of the wardrobe, two sheets of wood surface hinged to the wall that could be folded up and down. There were no windows because there were no outside-facing walls. Rumpelstiltskin had been left in the doorway, sat on top of a few books.

And it was completely silent.

Maeko was due back in a few minutes.

Misaki drew in a few breaths. Her mind was racing back to the shadow, what if Maeko had been the one to send the letters. But then...no why would she do that that was stupid to think.

'Maeko-chan, please calm down. I'm not trying to cause trouble. Maybe I should go by Shojiro-sensei if this is trouble. Or stay with Kiriko-chan and Kozue-chan. I just don't want to cause you trouble.

Will you watch them with me?'

'I'm not annoyed. I'm just telling you to stay in here and be quiet. Those are the rules of the house. Basic instuctions.
No. Stay here.

Yes. You're not going to be out there on your own.'

'I understand that and I'll follow them.' her hand held there for a moment as she thought, It's just that you're reminding me of your shadow and you're scareing me some now. She cleared her mind and wrote.

'No one is going to hurt me Maeko-chan.

It's going to be a nice night out, can't we sit on the roof at least?'

'Good.

I know. I'm preventing it.

No. There's no way to access the roof of this building.'

Misaki paused. This wasn't good. She was way to tense. Both of them were. Misaki took the paper from her and wrote.

'Maeko-chan please sit down. I want to brush your hair. You're being way to tense. Please. You're starting to worry me. We're in your house, you need to relax some.

Then how about just sitting on the outside steps.'

'There isn't a chair other than the one you're using. My hair's fine. I'm fine. Just tired from work and climbing the stairs.

That means going back down and up the stairs. I'd prefer not to do that again tonight. The window in the hall's good enough.'

Misaki got up and motioned her into the chair. She motioned, 'Please sit.'

'I've always wanted to brush your hair. Please.'

Misaki looked at hopeful at her friend and hugged her.

Maeko sighed, more giving up than agreeing to anything, but nodded and sat in silence.

Misaki pulled out a brush and very gently and carefully bushed Maeko's hair. She paused and wrote.

'Maeko-chan, I was thinking. You know that new resturant that opened up a few days ago, the one that's not to far from the school. My brother got me four tickets there. I was thinking. Maybe you, and me, and Kanaye and Keiichi could go there together?

It could be like a date with the four of us. We could get all dressed up and um, have a sleep over and just talk about silly stuff.

I want you to be happy Maeko-chan. I don't want you to worry about me. Because when you worry about me, you don't think about yourself. And I just want you to be happy.'

She set down the pen and brushed her hair slowly and smiled softly.

'Once we know it's safe for sure, maybe.

...I guess.

I said I'm fine.'

She put the pen back down when she was done, sighing. She still wasn't quite sure what was wrong with her hair.

'There's icecream mochi in the freezer. We can eat them while watching the fireworks if you like.'

You're not fine, Misaki thought quietly and touched Maeko's shoulders gently. This wasn't going to be easy. The closer she was to Maeko the more she seemed to hurt her.

Misaki picked up the pen and wrote quickly.

'Maeko-chan, I know you're trying to protect me, and I really appricate it.' She put an arm around Maeko as she wrote.

'And I adore you for it, but you're starting to worry me. There's nothing we can do till we know what's going on. And until Tom-kun or Krikio-chan gets in contact with us, we should try to relax. Don't you think? It's summer right?

Sounds good. We can guess the colors as they come. Right?'

'It's still dangerous.'

She thought a second and crossed that out.

'Fine. But stay here where it's safe.

Right.'

Misaki wrote quickly,

'I intend to stay here, but I need you to calm down. You're too tense. If you worry to much you'll get sick, and I don't want that.'

Misaki paused and then wrote.

'I love you a lot Maeko-chan. You're more then just a best friend to me.'

'I'm not tense, I'm just tired from work.'

Which was mostly true. This place was a little stressful but nearly all of her current anger came from Misaki's assumption that she'd be able to master the only thing she was any good at within a few days and her inability to keep her nose out of other people's business and reacting with passive agression when asked to stop.

She stopped, never sure how she was supposed to respond to things like that.

'That's nice.'

'Oh, I see. What did you have to do?' Misaki put down the brush and smiled at Maeko. She wasn't sure what to make of the, 'That's nice.' Normally when someone said they loved you, you'd say you'd love them back. With Maeko she wasn't sure if she was just being her normal self or....

She wrote down a quick question.

'Would you like to stay over by my brother's shop some time this summer? Unless of course he's having it checked out, which he might be. In that case, would you like to stay at my house? I'm sure my father wouldn't mind. Mother has a meeting some time this summer and well, I figured that would be the best time to go visit.'

'Nothing out of the ordinary. It's much busier in summer is all.'

'We'll discuss it once we know it's safe. Your brother's shop is a business, it'll be much easier to find you there.'

'What exactly do you do for your dad. I know translating but, is it that you're translating?

Okay fair enough. By the way Maeko-chan, can I at least, when your father isn't working or something, go and sit out of the room and read. I really like your room but, it's hard to concentrate for me when there are no windows.

Also, can we talk when we're watching the fireworks in the hallway?'

'I translate telephone calls and wake him up if a fire alarm goes off at night. I'll be attending a meeting in a few days, too, to be his voice in person.

I doubt there'd be any times like that. He only ever stops working to sleep and the rule is that everyone sleeps when he does. Even at mealtimes he just takes his food to his desk.'

It was clear where Maeko got her obsessive need to work from, at least.

'Yes. But quietly.'
