The girl, Vanessa, hadn't done much more than wipe the blood off of Maki's face and expected her to follow. Maki complied of course, what else could she do? She did her best to keep pace with Vanessa until they arrrived at the school's auditorium where she was waved off and left to her own devices. It appeared that she was expected to somehow make her own way into this group despite her lack of language ability or knowledge of what was going on. Maki's first impression of Vanessa wasn't a good one and she would remember that, despite having escorted her  Vanessa was mostly unhelpful. 

Maki wandered through the busy crowd trying her best not to be in the way. Everyone was doing something and Maki started to feel awfully useless. If she could find the Gym showers she could use her handsoap to disinfect her cuts and rinse off all the blood. There was certailny a lot of it. The feeling of being soaked in it was terrible, as if the shame of being forced to kill your best friend wasn't enough she was walking around soaked in the proof that this whole day wasn't just a bad dream. It was depressing and nauseating at the same time. Maki tried to be as small as possible as she hurried through the crowd. 

Just as she was about to disappear into the locker room to shower and change when she was confronted by a student. Maki tried to skirt around him but he persisted. He was trying to stop her for some reason. Soon She was surrounded by a few more students. As they approached she recognized them as her classmates. Most of them were asking what happened and if she was okay but then one asked a question that made her heart skip a beat. "Where's Hana?" Maki couldn't think of, or didn't know, the words she needed to answer. The students all started to repeat the question until one of them spoke out to everyone. The student speaking presented Maki's phone to them. It was stained with blood on it's screen. "...Japanese girl's phone...Hana...dead..."  She couldn't understand all of it but she caught the important parts. Someone had discovered Hana's body and they were blaming her for what happened. A large male student moved closer and grabbed at her shoulders shouting for an answer. Maki released herself from his grip and pushed him away. He called her a name she didn't know and before she realised what was happening she recieved a slap across the face. 

At that moment she stopped thinking about what was going on, she just moved. The student tried to grab her again. This time she took the initiative, pulling him off balance and letting him fall to the ground. Two of his friends moved in to assist, grabbing her arm on either side. Maki drew herself back and twisted her body causing the two of them to bash heads. By this time the other students had started chanting 'fight' and pointing their phones at the makeshift arena made of students. The first student got back up and started swinging at her. It was obvious that none of them ever had any formal training. Maki dodged their attacks easily and moved about the arena dancing between them with ease. She took one student and pulled him into another then trapped the third in a wrist lock bringing him down to his knees before tossing him across the floor. She kept them at bay but eventually she was going to get tired. Something needed to change but she was trapped in the circle of students with no way out. Something needed to happen soon or they would get the better of her.
