"Welcome back to reality, Toshiko Aden, Chizu Hiroto."

Or is it
weakness?
You decide.
Toshiko Aden
Toshiko stared blankly at the guy who appeared before them. "No," she said coldly. "No one important. Just an ant, in our way again."
She took Chizu by the sleeve and began dragging her away, despite the girl's yelps behind her. "Hey! Hey! Let me go! Ow, that hurts! Stop it, Toshiko, I can walk!"
Ignoring her, Toshiko walked faster.
"Make her stop!" Chizu wailed.
Chizu Hiroto
Toshiko's grip was tight before, but now it was punishing. Her hand was vibrating, and Chizu was half afraid that it'd twist and suddenly her not-broken wrist would be gone with it.
But the older girl just kept walking and Chizu managed to stumble to her side and barely match her pace.
"Toshiko...?" she ventured.
Toshiko's gaze stayed straight ahead, but the twitch of her firmly set jaw let Chizu know she'd heard. "What?" she ground out.
"W-When are we stopping...?"
"Soon." ... "Don't worry about it."
Toshiko Aden
"Briar," Toshiko murmured. "Miyako. Kaya."
Chizu's hand twitched, and she got the sense the girl was looking at her. But she chose to ignore it, focusing on the names, the faces, the voices.
A strip mall up ahead. She remembered there being a tattoo parlour at the old one back home. That was where Kaya got a pan flag tattooed on her arm. Kaya laughed the pain off, but when Toshiko went for a sheep design, she'd started crying minutes in.
Though of course she gaslit Kaya into "that never happened and never will".
That's just how they did it.
"I bet they'll have heating," she murmured. "In any case, it can't be colder than it is out here."
Miyazaki's laughter was quiet.
"Have you met them already?"

Chizu Hiroto
Chizu froze in her tracks. Toshiko kept trudging forward, but for a second her grip weakened, and Chizu took the chance to rip her wrist away and cradle it to her chest.
"What're you talking about?" She barely heard herself say over the excruciating pain emanating from her arm. Burning, blazing-
But hollow at the centre. Oh so hollow.
he laughed.
"They're so intrinsically linked that the moment one of them dies, the other one explodes, a nd destroys everything in their path."

Toshiko Aden
So Chizu was leaving, with the raving lunatic. Satisfaction at being right bloomed in her chest.
That meant that the whole mall would be to herself. How lovely. It almost brought a smile to her face.
Everything was the way it should be.
Perhaps she'd even find Kaya, getting her hair done. They could arrange for Briar's hair to be dyed. Blond was totally boring. Toshiko bet she could fix it.
Chizu Hiroto
As Chizu listened, the hollow feeling grew intenser. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Chizu Hiroto
"I-I'm sorry, but Toshiko needs me. I hope you can find whoever you're looking for." Chizu ducked away from him. "H-Have a good day." And she hurried after Toshiko, stumbling through the snow in her heavy boots.
Miyasaki laughed.
"try to be more careful. I'd hate to see two useful people end up dead."

Chizu Hiroto
Chizu shivered, and not only from the cold. She hurried onward, barely able to catch glimpses of Toshiko's black coat in the muggy air. "W-Wait up!" she chattered. "I'm here! T-Toshi-"
The coat was out of sight. Chizu was totally alone.
She shivered, bringing her jacket closer to her, wishing for a few matches. Wasn't there a mall ahead? Or was that just a horrible trick her brain was playing on her in her dying moments? Dying... am I dying? She brought her gloved hand to her chest. The other one had come off somewhere, though she now couldn't remember where.
Where...?
Oh right... where was Toshiko...
She was looking for her... She was looking for someone...
Cold snow brushed against her cheek. She tried to pull her blanket closer, but it wasn't there. Toshiko wasn't there...
Her eyes slipped shut.

Toshiko Aden
Toshiko approached the mall, with a vigour in her step. "We're here," she mumbled. "Kaya..."
A headache was blooming in the side of her head. She swiped a hand through her hair and gave her whole body a brisk shake. It was time to find food. And maybe some ibuprofen, if it could be had.
