Chapter Text
“It’s a shame isn’t it?”
“A crying shame…”
“Such a shame…”
Shinoa Hiiragi lay dead in her coffin. Her lilac hair lay perfect and evenly on either side. Mitsuba Sanguu sat silently before the open casket, ignoring the whispers.
“She was so happy with Yuichiro
“So happy”
“Did they bear fruit?”
“Baren, I believe”
“A crying shame…”
“Such a shame…”
Hard to ignore the voices around her, but still, Mitsuba must, lest she decided to burst into tears then and there.
Mitsuba was never given the grace of knowing what had ended the life of Shinoa Hiiragai. Ever since the stupid Hiiragis and stupid Hyakuyas decided to claim “peace,” Shinoa had slowly began keeping a distance between her and Mitsuba. Mitsuba didn’t think Yuu was the cause of the death, not really anyways, but she couldn’t help but feel resentment anyways.
A hand softly touched her shoulder. Speak of the devil and he shall appear…
“I don’t want your sympathy” Mitsuba spat, not bothering to turn around.
“I know you don’t.” A familiar voice, but older. Tired. “I’ll offer it anyways”
“You didn’t love her.”
“Th-that doesn’t mean I can’t be sad.”
Mitsuba quickly turned around, slapping the hand away from her. Yuichiro Hyakuaya and his lover, Mikaela, had been standing behind her. Yuu wore a suite, pressed without a wrinkle in sight. The last time Mitsuba saw Yuu, he wore the same clothes. The last time Mitsuba saw Yuu was his wedding. The last time Mitsuba saw Yuu, he took away the only person that had ever cared for her. It took all of Mitsuba will power not to clock him then and there.
Mitsuba wanted more time with Shinoa, but she needed to be out of Yuus sight. She left the hall without another word.
