She lay there for what seemed like an eternity before someone found her. Both of them were female but she didn't recognize their voices, they were strangers. They seemed concerned for her at least, which was something of a relief. Hana's voice still echoed in her head. She couldn't believe what had happened. Hana was always good to her and then suddenly she just goes crazy. ((She wouldn't stop.)) Maki mumbled under her breath. One of the girls went into the office. She was going to find her. The body. Maki knew that Hana was dead. She had felt the life drain from her body when she fell. How could she tell them what happened? What would they think? People in this country were so different she couldn't possibly anticipate their reaction. Would they throw her out?
The second girl snapped her out of her own thoughts. Was she speaking Japanese? She was! Her name was Vanessa and she apparently wanted to tend to her wounds. Maki looked her in the eyes. ((Hana, she wouldn't stop. I didn't mean to do it but she wouldn't stop!)) She had to let them know that it was self-defence. She had to understand that Maki was only trying to protect herself. ((She just kept coming at me!)) Maki was starting to get a little frantic now. ((I would never hurt anyone, really!)) Maki tried to stand up but her entire body felt weak. She must have lost more blood than she thought. There was a sharp pain in her shoulder. She moved her hand to feel what it was only to find a small shard in her arm. There were several other cuts on her arms and a few on her face. ((It hurts!)) She hadn't realised that she was so badly hurt before. ((Here and here.)) She pointed to her forehead which had a cut above her left eye and her left arm that had a gash in herw forearm. The cuts felt deep and the more she thought about it the more she noticed the pain. Maki relaxed her body against the wall. ((I... I think I killed her...)) Maki wasn't sure how much Vanessa could understand but she was confessing more for herself than anything. ((...That's not true... I know I killed her...)) Whatever happened to her now was up to these strangers. She didn't have the will or the strength to protest, she only knew that she was tired. It was sinking in that this wasn't some sort of nightmare, this was reality and it was horrible. ((She was a good person.)) Speaking was difficult so she decided to let Vanessa do whatever it was she was going to do.
