[I'm very sorry Claude but even Komaru, Toko's bestest most perfect gal pal, constantly gets accused of having an incestuous crush on her brother. You're friends please trust me this is just her horrible nature]

Well you—

[The bulk of the bluster dies. Toko blinks.

She had been crying coming out of the memory, and the teasing in between made her forget why. Now she has the decency to look ashamed, eyes to the ground.]

Um...

[Her thumb is once again prisoner between her teeth. One day she'll gnaw it to the bone.]

You were b-basically just sleeping and then... Someone attacked you. [She swallows thickly. Her eyes dart to his before retreating to the ground.] Even though you were just a kid. And then there was — you g-got the knife away from them, and I don't know if you killed them or they just escaped or anything, but by the end I couldn't feel it anymore. Where they st-stabbed you.

Like it never even happened.
