Yeah, that was about the response she expected. She didn't think that one conversation would get the GEMs as a whole to stop their crusade against dark girls, and it sounded like they had legitimate reasons to be after the Detention Club right now. Hizuki would have to ask them about this whole beach incident later. [color=yellow]"Yeah. My number hasn't changed,"[/color] she said as Morganite was herded away. She was glad she hadn't ended up having to fight the shield-wielder in the end. It might not have gone well, either; the GEM had more awareness of Hizuki's weaknesses than most. 

She sighed, staring at the ground for a bit as the snarl of magical girls slowly untangled itself and dispersed. It seemed like she'd mostly made everything worse for everyone by showing up, in the end. Black Gate got hurt, Morganite was sad, and she couldn't even get close to Tsubomi, not to mention making Willow angry. The GEMs weren't any friendlier than before; if anything, it was the opposite. Her goal of talking this through was getting further away by the second. [color=yellow][i]What's the point?[/i][/color] Hizuki shook away the thought. 

[color=yellow]"I'll. . . go look for them."[/color] The Daybreak latched onto the excuse to leave the situation, at least for a moment, and took off, flitting between the rooftops between here and the school in the search for Suki's discarded bits.
