As soon as Soma reverted to civilian form, so did Tama, her wings closing around her body and fusing into a crystal structure which faded. Listening to the other girl's explanation for her in-between form, the bluenette gave her an apologetic look. [color=darkturquoise]"Well, normally it wouldn't be too much of a problem,"[/color] she explained. [color=darkturquoise]"Even small amounts of magic use mean we barely register on people's radar, but in a public place like a school, there's going to be an apparent ghost sighting sooner or later. Not that you're the one to blame for what happened just now."[/color]

She shifted her gaze down the hallway, towards the classroom. That eruption of hate had died down, but Touka's venomous glare remained fresh in Tama's mind. Guilt weighed on her more heavily than any stone armour. Soma wasn't to blame for the incident, but were the dark girls either, for having gone that way? Was Ami? Was Touka? Whatever it was that had happened to the latter... All Tama knew was that it must have been awful beyond imagining. And in that time of need, she'd failed yet another friend.

Would the right thing to do have been to follow her into the darkness?

Tama rested her fingers on her woven bracelet, once colourful, now faded and threadbare. No, following her, Ayumu, or anyone else who went dark would have meant abandoning others. Falling in with crowds of bullies was something she'd sworn never to do again. Yet did this path cause any less harm?

Hiding her troubled thoughts behind a mask of composure, she turned back to Soma. [color=darkturquoise]"Here,"[/color] she said, holding out the bento. [color=darkturquoise]"Feel free to have some of my lunch."[/color] As Soma vented stress of her own, Tama gave a solemn nod. [color=darkturquoise]"Yeah, this place seems to have been bad juju central for quite a while, though I've never known things sink to this kind of low. All we can do is keep looking into it."[/color]

Right on cue, the unusual aura that had been spreading through the area drew closer. One of the presences from three days ago, yet it didn't feel negative or threatening like the other had, more like an air of righteous strength. Maybe this was someone who could help...

Sensing a swell of the same tainted energy from a moment ago like smoke billowing from fire, Tama winced. [color=darkturquoise]"Crisis not so averted."[/color]
