Satomi watched the exchange in silence, feeling even worse for him when she saw him grinning, probably thinking something good was going to happen. He was always positive, so it wasn't surprising. But somehow that made it worse. She could tell that Iruka felt just as bad about it, as his eyes softened, holding a hint of sadness in them, having to basically knock him down when he no doubt expected the opposite. It wasn't long before Iruka was called away by one of the other teachers and Haru was left alone. He sat on the swing and even from her perch in the tree she could see his tears as he called himself stupid a few times.<br/><br/>She had just gotten up the nerve to try to talk to him when he got up and ran. "Wait..." She called out, but her voice was too quiet. It didn't carry and he was already running away. "Oh, Haru..." She sighed softly, her eyes soft, showing the sympathy she felt for him before she ran off after him. Unlike him, however, she was careful to stay out of everyone's way as she ran. She was also careful not to lose him, although her attempts to stay out of people's way had almost made her lose him a couple of times on the short trip to an apartment building. Was this where he lived?<br/><br/>Rather than going inside, he went up to the roof. She hesitated, debating whether or not she should go up and try to talk to him. Would it matter? Would he want to talk to her? Would she be able to say anything to make him feel better? Or would she make it worse? After all, she wasn't always the best at talking. She wished she was. She was just usually too quiet and shy to communicate what she wanted in the way she wanted. But nonetheless, she decided that she should at least try. Hopefully she would at least not make it worse. Even if she couldn't say anything to make it better, maybe she could at least just show him that he wasn't alone.<br/><br/>She jumped up to the roof nimbly and quietly, standing a few feet behind him. "Ummm... Haru." She spoke in her usual calm and soft voice. "I heard what Iruka-sensei told you..." she continued. "I just wanted to let you know that I... I'm sorry." She added quietly and shyly, taking a step forward towards him. She wanted to say something else, but she didn't know how to say it, how to make him understand that she was truly trying to make him feel better, that she was trying to be his friend.
