[it's a level of iciness that anna wasn't expecting, and hopefully the stunned silence that that leaves her in is enough indicator. she turns her head to follow satoko's path, then gives her roommate a look that she hopes is apologetic.]

Thanks for getting the door. Sorry if it woke you up.

[she doesn't wait to go back to her room, though, following satoko and closing the door quietly behind her. inside, the room looks much the same as it always does. a little disheveled, her bass propped up against the wall in the corner, her omni on her nightstand, some clothes on the floor. on the bed, her second of two pillows is vertical, like she'd been trying to hug it and it wasn't working. weird. who would be that pathetic.]

Thanks for coming on such short notice. Sorry. I know it's a lot. [she can tell that it's particularly a lot this time, now that she's alone with satoko. she sits down on the bed but keeps her feet on the floor.]

It's just something about the moon this month. It makes being lonely hurt so much worse.
