[A chill runs down her spine when she hears her name in that voice. Is it joy, dread or both? Sleepless nights at least have the one advantage of being so exhausting that the acuity of her own feelings are dulled, distant enough that they may as well not belong to Tuan Kirie at all.
There are tell tale signs that give away exactly how her night had gone, from the dark shadows beneath her eyes to the more hidden cues. There's no way she'd have been able to go outside looking like this without lowering her mother's SA score at home, but here nobody really cares. The relief is immeasurable, though fleeting as she knows there's just no hiding from Miach's eyes.
Or rather, there's just no hiding from Miach at all. Even when supposedly "dead" Miach had always been one step behind her, like a ghost both watching over her. Watching her live on like the coward she is.]
Miach.
[It's incredible to think that this was easy once upon a time. Three years ago, saying Miach's name and being in Miach's presence was the best feeling in the world. Now the act of establishing eye contact feels so much like looking directly into the sun that Tuan keeps her eyes on the opposite wall. Miach didn't die. Just having that truth that had defined her come apart at the seams still makes her dizzy. Everything else that followed the rest of that simply makes her skin crawl.]
