Ah, regular reasons then.

Suna too remembered when money wasn’t ever much of a problem.

[b]“Vandalism and theft?”[/b] She laughed dryly. [b]“It’s striking back against unjust systems! Like I said, that claw machine has eaten up way more money that the value of the toys it holds. If you think about it that way, well…”[/b]

The girl curled one of her biceps. It was impossible to see her musculature through her jacket though.

[b]“When laws don’t protect the weak, I do. That’s my magical girl way.”[/b]

She smiled. It was impossible too, to understand just how many meanings there were beneath that expression.

Her injuries had healed overnight, but the public onsen had closed before she could bath herself. So, of course, while 'students' were still stuck in school, 'runaways' like herself were free to enjoy all the rights that came with someone who could go where they wished, when they wished. It had taken her a bit to find her way back onto the main road, and there were a couple of policemen in bikes that she avoided by ducking down side streets, but after all that, she stood before a humble little establishment: Otsuake-Ryu.

This early in the day, the large communal baths themselves would still be closed off for cleaning, but showers and saunas ran regardless, and she slipped in with a small plastic bucket that held all her maidenly hygiene products. A nice little afternoon break, then some roadside work to scrounge up some change, before a visit to the convenience store for sandwich ingredients and maybe a discounted bento. She'd have to find a day to visit the laundromat again, of course, but that could be considered next week.

For now though?

Suna crouched beneath a showerhead, humming a cheery little tune as the warm water began to run.
