"You should have called in advance," Reo flatly stated, closing the book and swinging her legs to the ground. Once stood up, the older sibling was also the [i]larger[/i] of the pair, by some considerable margin, and more than a little intimidating with the way her glasses, adjusted by one finger, caught the light. Though initially dressed in the same basic uniform, she had much less of it on by this point: shirt and skirt. All the heavy or ruffled parts removed, and the top button of the shirt itself undone. Not, by any stretch of the imagination, the proper look for the student council president.

Though it was her job to be concerned about all the students in the school, Reo simply didn't have the inclination to visit Kazuko that had gripped her sister: there was nothing in her power to help, and she would rather leave it to the medical community to help the girl than blind faith. One visit, for the sake of appearances, and then Reo had gone back to her normal duties.

Books passed between the shelves overhead, and Radiant Blossoming Apparition stood in the enormous library, using her spear to take notes about... something. It was far from clear what; each and every symbol was a distinct sheet of paper and once written on, one loose strand of hair would flick them into a growing pile beside her. It was a normal enough thing for the Alter Ego to be doing... she liked making notes of things. Knowledge was good, it was why her favoured landscape was certainly this library. Even though it was such a lonely place, she still met a surprising amount of people.

Only being close to one of them was rather sad, though.

And guess who had wandered in?

"You look rather battered," the white-haired figure stated, expressionless as she walked closer, away from her stack, "Trouble?"

She was rather [i]too[/i] close.
