Megohime closed the door after him, standing at the door for a moment longer before going to the mirror to see just how bad she looked. Her face was swollen in some places, bruises already starting to form from Tsukiyama battering her around. Her nose didn’t look broken, but her lip would take a while to heal. Her neck had stopped bleeding a while ago, but blood had dried over her chest and dress. She stopped examining her own wounds, mind wondering- what wounds did Akihime endure? Would there be anything left of her to bury, if they would find anything at all?
She moved away from the mirror and to the shower, feeling oddly numb about the whole situation. This was just how things were supposed to be as an investigator. Being one meant putting yourself in danger and dying if you ended up unlucky. It still didn’t feel right, didn’t feel fair; why did Akihime end up being the only one unlucky?
