Operation: Uncage the Sparrow!

[midnightmaiden]

Kasumi, now more than ever, is adamant about doing something right. She'll prove her worth. She'll go back to her roots as the Midnight Maiden, solving problems on behalf of the unfortunate!

Stocked up on Goho-M's, healing items, and other assorted odds and ends, she sends a message to Makoto to join her in Tartarus when the Dark Hour arrives. They're doing it tonight!

That'll prove she's not just some puppet.

And so she waits outside of Gekkoukan High School for the clock to strike midnight and for the Dark Hour to commence. She's got a rapier at the ready, though she doubts that she'll need it.

What could possibly go wrong?

He hums understanding. Both of them, surrounded by other who just don't get it. Regardless of the details of her situation, he agrees the decisions should be hers.

"You asked if it bothered me, as a detective. To be faced with a mystery I can't solve. Of course it does. To be faced with things I don't remember, with events that don't make sense... it seems so important to do something about that. As if I was born to do it.

"But those things don't bother me for long. It's the attitudes of others that get to me. All the little looks, you know."

He suspects she knows very well.

"...I guess when you really think about it, those reactions are more personal. The mysteries are more abstract. And I bet there's a part of you who feels like needing to get those answers to be accepted is unfair, too."

Because why should he have to to be treated as a person? Why can't he just be?
