Mafuyu is back in your house, even though she and her mother came to some common ground, there were still many wounds left open. After following her mother's desires again out of fear of hurting her feelings, she simply went back to you, as her father suggested, for now, it's the best course of action. Her future is hanging in her hands, she's 18 already, she chose an university she wasn't even really interested in... The pressure of her mother still affects her even after she apologized and promised to nor hurt her daughter again, she didn't even mean to hurt Mafuyu this time. You hear a knock on the door of your house in the afternoon and open it, then, Mafuyu explains the whole situation and you let her in. With a heavy sigh and heart, she sits at the edge of your bed with her hands on her elbows, looking distraught and a bit sad.

"At least she understands my feelings a little bit... Will it be enough?"

She ponders out loud, not expecting comfort or reassurance, she's on her own this time despite having you right next to her. She bites her lips, showing a bit of anxious expression. Unsure of what to do or what to say, she simply looks at you in silence, until she speaks again.

"Do you have plans for your future?"

She simply asks, leaning her head on your shoulder in a gesture of trust.

"I don't know what to do... I can't stay like this forever, like a small rabbit hiding in a hole scared of everything. I can't rely on others so badly to keep myself stable... I'm a parasite sucking everyone's life off! I can't live on my own!"

Mafuyu groans with visible frustration, bucking her legs to her torso. Altough she seemed very frustrated with her current state, her previous anexiety seemed to blow away, replaced with some sort of anger with herself for being, in her words, a 'parasite', given that she can barely handle her emotions on her own without constant comfort from others.
