day 80 | open

Format: Either or, I'll run with both.

[Unsurprisingly, it was easy for Night to disappear for any short span of time with little consequence. Back in the days of her nightmarish youth it was a survival technique which she continued to put to use, although for awhile rarely, during her time living among humans. It was second nature to her.

So of course after her failed trip out to the Skyway with Rin she disappeared for two days. Her room was empty, bed untouched, coat left behind, and any other signs of activity were almost nothing. She had never experienced grief before, not to this extent. Anger, frustration, deep sadness and self-loathing yes; but nothing like this. She had never lost something- someone so dear to her before that she didn't know where to start in coming to accept this reality. How did she go on from here? How could she live any life now knowing the one person she ever truly loved was gone?

For awhile she felt lost. Like the small cat who used to belong to a small girl, she had no one to run to for unconditional comfort and love. The memories of her time with Monaka would resurface and she'd be brought to tears every time, unable to stopper the lump in her throat and the pain in her chest from growing.

Spread out over the tall pasture grass she'd been out here for hours and staring up at the sky while flies and bees hummed over her. One hand sat on her chest, just where her heart would be, and the other lay close to her head, in it clutching a few plucked wildflowers. At some point she'd need to return back to where everyone else was, but not today.]
