Ayoko sighs, looking over at Ace with a frown. The memories of them practicing her combat for the first time fills her brain, and how they did her first mission together...It was all so saddening to remember, yet it brought a sad smile to her face. Following her sad smile was two tear drops that mange to escape her right eye, rolling down her cheek until reaching her small chin, where it drips off of before hitting the cold tile floor. "God damn it Ace...why did you do such a thing to yourself.." She whispers quietly, squeezing her eyes shut as more tears roll down her small cheeks. As she stood there and softly cried in front of Arusa, her bright skin tone slowly faded and her bright eyes became dull. After a couple of minutes passed, Ayoko straighten up her body, leaving the lilies she brought in an empty blue vase which was on top of the nightstand. Once she placed them in the vase perfectly, she wipes her tears with her sleeve, not wanting anyone to see her this depress. "Anyways, I better leave...I just can't take seeing one my friends like this...especially him." Ayoko whispers to Arusa with a obviously fake smile. The thing was that Ayoko actually looked up to Ace like an older brother, which she's always looking at for some kind of approval. Throughout the months he was gone, she felt a bit sad, but didn't worry about it much...and now since she saw what happened...she regrets not worrying about his disappearance.
