[h2]Shi, the Quiet Killer[/h2]

Shi ran. It was hard to pick up speed, with the crowd in this area. People were heading home all at once and it was like there was a swarm of them, all looking at her and wondering why there was a girl who looked like she did running and there were so many eyes on her she could barely stand it she just wanted to fall down and stop thinking about all the people watching her, all those pairs of eyes on her, so many...

And yet she couldn't. She had to escape from those people. The huge girl was... she was too much, the man was too much, the girl was too much... it was all too much for small white-haired girl to take now. And she couldn't dawdle behind with anyone, anyway... she had to make it on time. Someone would be waiting with her equipment. Shi couldn't make them wait, she was supposed to get there on time to pick it up, and she still had to drop off her book so that she wasn't carrying it with her when she arrived there... It wouldn't be of any help to her. Not with what she would be doing.

At last, her small frame broke free of the crowd as she stopped near a wall, taking a few deep breaths. That sea of people... it was like she was choking.

As Shi straightened, she turned as well, to ensure she was not being followed.

Sure enough, there was the girl who had claimed that Shi was from Poland.

Red eyes wide and staring blankly, Shi managed to say only one thing.

"Wh... w-why...?"
