“I-I am calm Hakuba-kun…” Kazuha replied quietly her eye began to twitch slightly from him wiping at her cheek wit the dry handkerchief. It somewhat stung and felt as if every time he’d swiped around it – the cut ripped open further. Though she highly doubted that was the case, she was probably just being a big baby so she’d decided against saying anything.
Kazuha felt exhausted as she’d sat stiller than she’d ever been just staring at the detective’s facial features. He’d looked so calm and caring? Why did he care so much anyways, it wasn’t like they had ever been great friends and Heiji practically spat nonsense about him constantly… Yet still, he was here. Helping her…
Kazuha let a small weak smile appear to her ghostly pale skin before she began fighting herself to keep her eyes opened.
“I-I think…I-I’m ready fer…a nap now…Hakuba-kun” Kazuha began to whisper quietly “Thank ya, fer looking after meh though…”
At that point Kazuha’s body had physically given up and she’d fallen sideways. At least now, she really was calm…
All of this over a grazed cheek. Hakuba sighed, carefully guiding the girl to the ground. At least she wasn’t screaming. The trauma from the scare was understandable, but… Ah, well, Hakuba couldn’t expect anyone to really be used to this sort of thing.
The detective touched the handkerchief to her cheek again, then made sure that his suit jacket covered her, before getting to his feet. There was blood on his jacket; it’d be a pain to clean, but at least nothing worse had happened thus far.
The paramedics, security guard, and police would arrive soon. This was confirmed, and he turned his mobile from phone to flashlight again, continuing his investigation. Now, who would have done this? What motivation would someone have for killing Kazuha?
