[ She's someone who used to be an ordinary person, but had all of that ripped away in a single moment.
And just saying all of that, admitting this much was difficult on her. Especially given the many rumors that had been spilling out earlier about her. It's been way too long since she's felt like she's laid herself bare like that, revealed her weaknesses like they were scars that she covered up with proverbial bandages.
The words he speaks just tempt to shatter her heart even further.
No, don't say that-!! She doesn't want to hear it. She also doesn't want to walk out of here and either know that this was just some illusion, or that he's real - because she's all too keenly aware that this is a continuation of a nightmare.
So she doesn't say anything as she tries to scramble to the confessional door, now unlocked, focusing in on herself.
She has to choose. She doesn't know if he'd chase after her. A part of her asks, 'why would he?' He doesn't know her after all. But a part of her wants him to. Ha, how selfish can she get...?
Her decision is made.
She switches her nullification on, trying to keep herself as quiet as she can, evening out her breathing so that it's not as shaky, so it isn't ringing so loudly in her own ears.
Count to three, she thinks to herself internally, taking a deep breath in and out before reaching out to the door and immediately trying to bolt out, to run as far as she possibly can. Even if that might be an exercise in futility, given just how aware she is of Atsushi's ability. But hell if she isn't going to try. ]
