Even though she'd considered Satoshi and the rest of the group her closest friends. Not to say that her other friends were fake friends but it wasn't the same. At home there was nobody either, it was usually just her and not mom and dad because they were out. She guessed she loved her parents and it wasn't like she wanted for anything since they had money and, well, more money, but again they weren't present. They weren't available. It was her job, his friends, no time for their only daughter Ran. It was like Hanako and her family except things never changed, not that she'd want them to change the way they did, because of what happened. Not that sort of way. It wasn't all bad, she had time to herself to learn whatever, but knowing how to pick a lock with a hairpin was more criminal than useful most of the time and learning that she was a fantastic barefaced liar wasn't exactly something that she could tell everyone and have it still work. She did have other friends, in school, in the track team (no, she hadn't joined for Terasawa). Having money helped too, she wasn't deluding herself. Her family didn't have extravagant money, not in a way where she would be solely known for it, but it wasn't too hard to tell either. So it was difficult to figure out sometimes if people actually saw her or if they saw, well, the material benefits of getting to know the kind of popular sporty girl. Cushy problem to complain about knowing worse happened to others, but still easier to know where she was with the people she'd met when they were younger, when none of that seemed to matter. Maybe that was all the reason there was for her caring about them the most, because she was lucky enough to meet them first. That included Hanako. So... when Hanako died, uh, newsflash, she sucked it up and dealt with it the worst way she knew how, which was to deny it as long as she could do anything about it. She didn't go full chuuni, she didn't ask any weird club members, all she did was look into the occult on her own. Aleister Crowley, that sort of thing. And she wasn't going to do anything stupid, it was just, if she could talk with Hanako one last time, well, probably she could go get Satoshi and the others and really she wasn't thinking as much as doing even if it was dumb. She tried some rituals on her own, it was embarrassing and secret even though she could have made it public because it wasn't like people in general would have blamed her and if someone popular does something weird sometimes the thing becomes cool instead of the other way around but that wasn't the point. This was personal, this was private. It wouldn't have been so private if the others were with her, if the others weren't scattered and busy coping in their own way. But she couldn't have brought that up. She hadn't gone to look for them. She just could have used them being around in some form was all. It came to a head when she went to see a fortuneteller in the Mishima District and she ended up crying into the fortuneteller's arms instead after an obviously fake cold reading. She didn't really know why, but there was an empty kind of comfort in it when there was no one else left for her anymore. She gave up after that. What more could she do, travel to Mount Osore and catch Hanako at the entrance to the underworld? Maybe she should've. She was fine, though. Well, Satoshi seemed fine (after weeks and weeks) and he had been closest to Hanako if they absolutely had to make that a competition so she couldn't really not be fine in comparison. Whenever he tried to get the group back together she never responded. She literally ignored them. There was pretending to the world that she was fine but she didn't want to pretend to them that she was fine and she also didn't want to not pretend to them that she was fine because Satoshi and maybe some of the others seemed fine and her not being fine might lead to them not being fine, so forget it. It wasn't like she needed them. She just wanted them, which made all the difference. Not that she could confide in other people either. She didn't want pity, that was part of it, but also after a while she could just feel that people wouldn't be comfortable with her grief. Or maybe they never were comfortable with it in the first place. It didn't have to be a bad thing. It wasn't that people were bad for being that way. That was just how it was. Still, Hanako had been her friend - did there have to be a time limit on that? Life went on regardless of her feelings. She'd always been a good liar; she never let Hanako's name pass her lips anymore. Some days were bad, some days were okay, things mostly got better over a couple years but then Satoshi just had to call and ruin it.
