"Leave me alone, Tokyo," Mai greeted you, scoffing as loud as possible and looking away, her hair sweeping over her eye. "Talk with your spineless comrades. You already beat us, anyway."

Despite her rude words, you leaned beside her anyway, your face serious. During the event, you overheard and watched Maki and Mai's battle from afar, accidentally overhearing everything. This would be hard to explain to her, but...

You felt so much pity for her. And it was rude, considering it was pity and not sympathy, but it was honest.

And maybe... honesty was what she needed, right now.
