Haruna blinked as the emotional riptide pulling her under suddenly abated, her mind turning glassy calm. She barely registered that Tsubomi had helped her before the dark girl winked away. She'd probably get swept up again later, but for now she was able to pull her thoughts in a useful direction. [color=fff79a]"She's right, Suki. I just didn't know, and neither did the others. I guess people only wanted to talk to one member of the Detention Club."[/color] She forced a smile, despite the situation. [color=fff79a]"I know it doesn't mean a whole lot to you, since. . . well, as far as I can tell, you aren't actually a big fan of me, but I do want to be your friend, you know. You can be a lot of fun to be around, and you care a lot about Tsubomi without expecting much of anything in return."[/color]

She glanced down. [color=fff79a]". . . Honestly, I can't really deny what Michi said about me, not without thinking about it a whole lot more. Maybe it's selfish of me to always want to help the way I do. It doesn't really matter, though, because it's still not fair to say that I only hang out with you because I enjoy your suffering. I came here to help you and the rest of the club out, but I'm [i]staying[/i] because, well, I think I'm finally starting to get along with you guys."[/color]

Haruna turned to Misoka, and gave the other girl a swift, apologetic bow. [color=fff79a]"I'd love to accept your offer to hang out, but I have something I need to do."[/color] With that, Haruna beelined for the nearest corner to duck around. She didn't even bother to make sure nobody was watching on the other side before transforming.

Hizuki flew back around the corner, putting more effort into not shooting through a wall by accident than moving up to Michi quickly. [color=yellow]"This needs to stop, [i]now.[/i] Whatever you're doing, Miss Gate, it's gone too far. I'm not going to let you keep saying such horrible things to the club, and I'm [i]definitely[/i] not letting you summon a giga miseria here of all places. So cut it out, because I don't want to have to make you stop. Please."[/color] Her expression was plaintive underneath her visor, even as she took a fairly threatening pose. [color=yellow]"I'm sorry if I pushed you too hard to come here, but messing with everyone like this isn't right."[/color]
