Hitomi was greatly embarrassed that she made such a gross misjudgment of the headmaster's character.  She has always assumed that people in positions of authority had to possess some modicum of...authoritative traits.  Virtues.  But as it turns out, the man who would be rooming with her and Amy wasn't so much a headmaster as he seemed to be a pretender.  She thought it too strong to call him a fraud, for didn't he demonstrate his abilities to become headmaster in the first place?  Surely there was something more going on...  He seemed to almost confirm this when he replied to her that he only wanted to keep an eye on...what?  A 'monu'-something-or-other.  Hitomi could only assume that he meant 'monument', but what monument could he be talking about?  As she was blind, and her shadow powers had their limits, she didn't quite know the lay of the land.  Was there some sort of monument that she had not heard of?  He had told the girls that they wouldn't understand, then immediately dropped the subject.  Just as well, Hitomi supposed.  She wasn't really in the mood to speak to him any further, anyway.  Not after the way he had just shrugged off...no, the way he [i]flippantly dismissed[/i] her comments regarding his integrity.  Outside, she remained cool, calm, serene...but inside, she was seething.  She sighed and retired to her room without a word.

During her time in her room, she'd leaned her sword against the wall and changed into a hakama and kimono, and was presently seated on her bed.  She'd been meditating, mostly about her first day in class, her failures, and the headmaster.  After some time, Hitomi couldn't be sure how long, she heard the sound of rain hitting her window.  The sound calmed her a bit and her mind was again at ease.  She stood up from the bed and exited her room.  She strode into what she assumed was the common area of her shared dorm room and sat down on a couch.  She clasped her hands and rested them on her knees.

"Sin' chi.  Amy?  Are you still here?"
