Tomomi sat on the steps of of the Kompirasan Temple, fiddling with her shoe laces and thinking. She always came here when she needed to think or shed a tear. 'A smile can't always hide it, Tomomi.' She thought to herself, still playing around with her shoe laces, 'I've got to let it out to someone...But then they'd think I'm crazy!' If someone could hear Tomomi's mind, they'd think she was a skitzofrenic. An argument about her secret past tangled through her brain, until she couldn't bear it anymore. Tomomi held her hands together and closed her eyes to keep her from crying. She and her brothers were the only one who could know it, but she wanted so desperately to tell someone. Tomomi's eyes were wet with tears as someone approached her.

Yonutsune was walking around the Kompirasan temple for the second time since arriving at Tama. The first time, she had met Kayoko, a very nice gilr whom she would hope to see again. This time, she saw Tomomi. Noticing the pink-haired girl looked sad, she approached her. However, she had no idea that she was crying.
Surprised from seeing the usual cheerful and optimistic Tomomi, she was speechless at first but soon muttered, "T-tomomi?"

Tomomi looked up, her eyes red with tears. She quickly glanced back down spoke in a choking murmur, trying to hold in her sorrow, "I-It's n-nothing." Tomomi coughed. She couldn't contain herself too much longer.

"If it was "nothing"", Yonutsune began, "you wouldn't have puffy eyes and tears running down your cheeks." She sat beside Tomomi, putting a hand gently on her back. "You can tell me if you want, Tomomi."

Tomomi kept her eyes covered with her hands. Her heart ached, she wanted to tell so badly, but how quickly could rumors fly in Tama Boarding School was the only thing keeping her from telling, even though she trusted Mei a lot. She sniffed, "I-I...sorry...I c-can't..." Tomomi coughed from speaking while she was crying. She hadn't cried this much for a very long time.

"I won't force you to," Yonutsune began, removing her hand slowly. "But, you're crying so hard. I'm not just going to leave you to be miserable. We're friends after all, right?"

Tomomi still was crying but she tried to speak, "C-Could you just sit here w-with me...for a m-moment..." Tomomi sniffed, trying to stop crying. But her memories still haunted her and she herself was amazed that each day she could hide from it with a grin and a laugh.

Yonutsune nodded, then took her eyes off of Tomomi and looked at the sky. It was a clear blue and had a few white, fluffy clouds in it. She could see a few rain clouds coming their way though, but chose to ignore them soon after. She enjoyed the rain anyway.
But, soon finding the silence too difficult to bear, she said, "You know, Tomomi," She tried to speak in the kindest voice she could muster. "People aren't always happy."

Tomomi calmed down a little and it was easier for her to speak, "I certainly know that." She sighed and sniffed once more, "I'm crying because...Because of my past..." Tomomi almost started to cry again, so she cupped her hands together and pressed them to her eyes, "I've done so many things...So many bad things...Nobody would suspect that me, the one who's most most likely to say things or joke at times when they would seem most random..." She sniffed, still covering her eyes, "I feel like such a bad person, Mei..." Tomomi paused and sighed, putting down her hands and looking down, "I've come here to think about it, what I should do to ease my guilt...Maybe just letting it all out would make me feel a little better..." Tomomi turned to Mei, "Please, whatever I say right now, promise you'll keep a secret, okay?"

"Please don't think of me as a bad person when I say this, but I don't make promises. However, I can tell you I won't tell anyone. Do you trust me?." She said, smiling a little and letting her fingers make the shape of an X over her heart.
