Nyima looked up at Zhou when he explained to the girl, that she had most likely never heard of her. She was about to say something when he mentioned bringing her home. She stepped away from him as he introduced Mizuki and her. She nodded to her slightly but her mind was only on what he had said. Home? She couldn’t go home. She didn’t wish to go home. Her brother was saying something, “Pardon?” She asked before she pieced together his question. She looked at Rayn, “Oh…. Umm… Friends, just friends.”

She looked around the area, god how much she just wanted to run away. However, she felt like Rayn would be awfully disappointed in her. She moved and stood next to him, feeling more confident with herself there. She bit her lip and looked up at her brother. She looked at him for a moment before sighing, “I’m… no going home with you, Zhou…. Um… No… Let me rephrase….” She glanced at Rayn and back to her brother, “I… I am home…”

Zenji looked at him and smiled at she rubbed the plushy against his face. She shrugged when he said she shouldn’t have, “I felt strange coming to a birthday empty handed…. And it wasn’t much trouble at all. I just grabbed it from my room….”

She had grabbed many things from her room. In fact, spare the furniture, there was nothing much that was left in her room. The Temple was quiet now and filled with the bodies of the dead. Whether she was staying with Ahsoka or not, she couldn’t remain there. There were too many memories with those who she had lost. She felt a sting in her eye and quickly turned away and sat down. She should have known something was up. She had felt it since the night before, something was different. Wrong or right, she didn’t know but something was changing her life. Surely, it was the death of everyone she had known. She smiled at Masuto, trying to forget what she had seen. She glanced at the radio, wondering if they were saying anything about the attack. She looked away from it and turned to the door when she heard the knock, “Oh good… I’m not the only person you invited,” she said with a teasing smile.
