"It's not me!"

She's standing on her tippy-toes though like it's going to do anything for how short she still is.

"It sounds like it's coming from the back corner?"

And in fact, there's a figure that seems to be curled up over there, tucked into a chair.

"Ah—"

Actually, isn't this woman familiar? Didn't you meet her once? There's streaks of blood running down her cheeks like blood has been coming out in place of tears.

"I'm sorry, I—didn't realize anyone else was in here—"

"Mm—right, we met before. Aria, wasn't it...?"

She dabs at her eyes slightly, with the backs of her hands, trying to avoid getting any of it on her white dress.

"I guess I should have expected you'd be taking Grace's class."

Mm. It seems an important thing for a partner to do, really. But - is something the matter, Iris?

"I..."

She tries to smile, weakly, but it ends up as more of a grimace. "Well, I'm sure... I don't look all right at all. Even though I tried..." She shakes her head. "Faith is... a difficult thing."

Most important things are. It's not necessary to try and hide what you're feeling, though.

"I tried to make it easier on her..."

She rubs at her eyes again. "I suppose I've often been one to wear my heart on my sleeve, anyway. I don't know how... she's always been able to have the will to keep fighting, after losing so much. Maybe I just can't."

She pauses.

"...I'm tired."
