Kiriko stopped. She had already begin walking away, but paused to listen to Toru when he spoke once again. Glancing back over her shoulder, she looked as dispassionate as ever as she spoke.
"Honestly? I don't know what you're going through, Ishinomori, but hiding away like this is pretty pathetic... and stupid."
She turned her head back forwards, glancing up at the ceiling before continuing.
"Enjoy it before the truant officers get you, I guess."
With a shrug, she continued walking. Something was twisting in the pit of her stomach. That speech sounded too familiar, and suddenly she was having flashbacks to the operating theatre. She cast a worried glance at Kou as they left, wondering if he'd made the connection, too.
