No...she was in an even darker place.
But, a small glimmer of light appeared in the gentle voice of her friend, Heather.
"H-H-Hello," she managed to squeak out as she forced herself to smile.
Heather knew that from the softness of Kurumi's voice and the look of her rather forced smile that Kurumi was really down and depressed; poor Kurumi had gone through a lot and Heather could not do anything to greatly help her dearest friend. She tried to smile for Kurumi as a sign of sympathy.
Times like these, Heather felt helpless. She's not good at advices, she doesn't know how to really comfort someone depressed, but she does know this: She stood and sat beside Kurumi and gave the girl a big hug.
"You can tell me anything, Kurumi." What she had been through...Adam...Connor...and...what was that guy's name again? T...Treyen? Yeah...she thought, The aparecium thingy said so. For a long time, Kurumi had not talked to her about such things, and Heather was afraid to bring it up between them, because she was trying to keep Kurumi as happy as she can be.
"I'm always here for you." she added, keeping a smile on her face. Her mother, her father and Camellia always told her smiles would make things better. She hoped so, keeping her smile on her face for Kurumi to feel better, but she thought, seeing Kurumi smile-that isn't a forced one-would be the best.
