[indent]Why was she here?

Although what the woman had asked had been her own question thrown back at her, Rina hadn't been quite certain how to answer it. Not so much for a lack of an answer to give, but more so for the tension and stress that revolved around her reasoning to travel to the Carabo resort. As she thought of how to respond to the woman, Rina could feel her stomach turning in knots, reminding her of all the hateful, toxic messages she had read online. It hadn't been her fault, she had to reassure herself. Even the investigators had cleared her name as an involved party; that had to mean something, right?

[color=silver]"To relieve some stress,"[/color] Rina replied, taking a sip from her newly-made mai tai. Such an answer had been the truth, yet vague enough to hide the depressed thoughts swirling inside her head. [color=silver]"This place had been recommended to me, so I had decided to take some time off for a personal vacation at the island."[/color]

Her thoughts shifted, wondering if it had been right for her to be out on vacation right now. Although Rina certainly needed the break, a part of her had felt guilty for storming off to an island resort so quickly after the accident. She felt that she should've been there, back in Japan. Back by Yujiro's bedside, wishing him luck in recovering. He was stuck in the hospital fighting for his life while his co-star was out partying on a tropical island. It wasn't exactly the fairest trade-off when both of them had been front-and-center during the accident, but what was done was done. Rina just hoped Yujiro would understand her actions, given the circumstances.
