I sat in a daze leaning against a tree with zero beside me when the new girl, naruni, I believe her name was, tried talking to Zero. Didn't work out real good, though. I wanted so badly to go after Asuka, but the others said she would eventually come back. I wasn't as sure. I knew Asuka had a hard time dealing with killing a person, we all did! I knew she wasn't in the right state of mind. I was the one that told her to run! It was my fault She's gone! If she didn't make it back in one piece, I would never forgive myself! "quit worrying," Zero told me. "Shell be ok. She's tougher than you would think.". I nodded. That was the nicest thing he had ever said to me! I wanted to smile but felt it wouldn't be right. I glanced back out into the forest. Asuka could handle it if she hadn't been so distraught. I couldn't help wondering if she was ok. I wanted to sneak off, but wasn't sure if I should. I didn't want to get separated again from the rest of the group. Asuka, I prayed, please be ok!
