Her miniature outburst on Selina had startled the third year and at the same time made her sort of glad. Did Kurumi even see how strong she was? How powerful she was?
All of the things Kurumi was saying though wounded Selina internally. She knew there was some validity in what Kurumi was saying, but Selina had never healed, she had never mourned, she was still very damaged. There were years of ignoring her sister and what had happened, years. Now that it was all coming to a head Selina wanted to press it all back down, let it fall back into the crevises of her mind and never escape. If she lied to herself that everything was okay and knew internally it was all her fault, life was a little easier.
Then Kurumi said something that made Selina pause- she could do something good with this curse.
Tears started to brim in her eyes and every single wall that Selina had put up, sheltered herself in came crashing down in front of Kurumi. Selina had never let those walls fall for anyone. Kurumi was the first and, if Selina had anything to do with it, she would be the last. She hated being so vulnerable but she had never grieved, never done anything to cope with what she had done. "Kurumi... my sister is dead." The weight of those words finally settled into Selina's skin like the tattoo on her shoulder, "Danny is dead."
Kurumi leaned over and hugged Selina. A smile crept across the prefect's face and she was grateful that her face was now hidden from the girl's view because she was sure that Selina would take it the wrong way. All Kurumi could think at that point in time was
IT IS ABOUT BLOODY TIME!
Kurumi had always admired Selina for being brave and strong, but she was strong to the point of idiocy sometimes. It was nice to see that the walls had finally come down. That the red head trusted Kurumi enough to show her her vulnerable side. Kurumi squeezed her friend tight, glad that finally she could return the favor and friendship that Selina had always shown her
more times than she could count.
"
And there is nothing you can do to change that," she said softly. Sure, it was blunt, but Selina really just needed to let that sink in. She needed to grieve so that she could move forward with her life. "
Selina...I can't even begin to try to understand how you feel about this and, I know you don't want to...but what you need to do right now is cry. I don't care if my uniform looks like I have just gone through a typhoon, you can cry on me until you can cry no more." And then Kurumi would conjure her a glass of water to prevent her from being dehydrated.
