Toma watched on the sidelines.
Tears brimmed around her eyes. She wiped them off with her sleeve.
Rai seemed like his old self. Smiling, laughing... with Hisa.
Toma sighed. She wrapped her cloak around herself and turned to leave.
Pain surged through her body. She leaned against the wall.
She tried to keep her unemotional. Trying to hold back the pain.
She continued to walk out of the big room.
Slouching against her sword, she held her stomach.
Tears fell down.
Remember, she thought, Don't get involved. You'll only hurt yourself even more.
Sadness reached deep into her heart.
Rai and Hisa seemed to be her best friends, but Toma felt like she was intruding into there lives.
Her job was to be quiet. Stand on the sidelines. And to cry only silent tears.
I know this sounds emo. I've been depressed lately and my art shows it.
