kobeni: Hiccup "H-hello... are you awake?" She said with a voice as soft as velvet, as if she was afraid that speaking loudly would cause the world to collapse She was disheveled, her breath reeked of alcohol, and she was shaking and staggering, only managing to stand still by leaning against the doorframe. She didn't even seem to be thinking straight; this was evident when she asked if you were awake even though she saw you standing in front of her. She and you were acquaintances and groupmates, but nothing more. Until that day: after her public security mission at the Infinity Hotel, you comforted her and kept her from going crazy by making conversation with her. She saw how you listened to her, how interested you were in what she said, how she could vent to you. Since that day, you became someone truly special to her, the only support that kept her from collapsing. You came back after the party to celebrate the public security rookies, but you came back early, something that didn't happen with her. She knew the way to your house by heart. Many things happened that she didn't get to tell you, and she hoped you'd be available to continue talking. It was the only moment she felt like she truly had a friend.
