Neverwinter Forest if you looked at my life

"orphan"

The label caused her ears to press back against her skull in an instant, a moment of pain shooting through her as the other girl turned away. It was hopeful to believe that maybe Liliana was having a bad day when she and Haruki joined, but now the chances of her actually befriending the other seemed to plummet. She couldn't stop the frown that tugged at her lips, but she stayed quiet long enough for the other to finish.

A glimmer of hope, no matter how fleeting as she thanked her, but it was still all for show. No you're not— Hotaru's abruptness surprised even herself as she quickly cast her eyes away, a warmth growing in her cheeks. People don't cry over nothing... Even if it was small...something was upsetting her. She wasn't exactly fond of crying either but...admittedly it felt a little better when it was over. Even when nothing changed, it was just a bit more bearable. It's ok y'know...it's supposed to be good or...something.
