Hanako sighed to herself, keeping that locked off from their mental bond. She gave Aiyana another rubbing.<em>You know Emiko, the offer for you to crash at my place is still open.</em>Hanako lived by herself to, so she was just as lonely, if not more so-she lived in an apartment surrender by people who had no idea who or what she was. A different kind of silence that was no less maddening.<em>We should at least go after one or two things tonight. Maybe even smash that little flicker you found. Ounce of prevention, pound of cure, and all those other motivational lines.</em>
