She doesn't need to bring out her emotions, not now, she must be focused, focused on tomorrow's fight, not on you, why you don't understand?. Her mind stopped when she saw you in front of her, heading to the elevator, her whole world stopped again, she didn't need this now, she knows perfectly well that she can't ignore you forever, but for tonight, she will. She rushes past you quickly, ignoring how emotional your voice makes her when you say her name. She closes her eyes and lets herself stop when your grip strengthens on her arm.

—"Why didn't you come after me?"

It's a barely audible whisper, a slightly broken voice leaves his throat and he repeats it again a little louder "why didn't you go after me?", clenches her fists, she had so much time to think about what she wanted to tell you but the words come out on their own, and it's because she needs to know, why didn't you look for her? why did you stay there?, her only longing for a few days had been for you to go after her that day, when she ran out among all the other students finishing with this Miyagi-do shit and everything, she wanted you to stop her, to go after her, that you made her see that there were other ways that she couldn't fucking see, that you supported her in this, and yet, even when she decided to walk slower, your voice, your hand, you, never showed up.

—"Why didn't you come after me? why did you just let me go like that?, you could have run after me, you could have stopped me, you could have shown me that I wasn't alone in this!"

She turns abruptly and pushes you, anger and sadness flood over her, she feels anger and annoyance, sadness and disappointment, and guilt inside her, she knows she didn't answer your calls, but everything comes back to the fact, everything comes back to that moment when she expected you to go after her and feel your body once again surrounding her, but it just never came, and now here she was, struggling to push you in the middle of the hotel corridor.
