SSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssss...

It's late into the evening when the noise in the dormitories start to die down and people start heading back to their rooms for the night, that the white noise can heard in the relative quiet. A hiss, like white noise but harsher, the TV static of a VCR player once a movie ends and hasn't been turned off. Those with particularly good hearing and in neighboring rooms would be drawn to the hallway of the Suns, where the hissing claws at the door from inside Sun 2.

A knock on the door results in silence. The doorknob rattles when tried. Light peeks out from underneath.

...I should take my own advice about accepting that people I like will kill eachother, huh? I got carried away in talking about trust.

[ It should be all of them. She never wanted anyone to die. Sara looks down at the rock in Nanami's hand and her face softens a little. ]

Do you know how to build a cairn, Nanami-san?

[waitingforplayer2]

[ She's staring at the rock. It's like staring into a void of stars itself - maybe if she looks deep enough, she can see a star named after Keigo, one that holds their soul...

The question jolts her back to Sara and she looks up before shaking her head. ] What is it?

[samuraiwomen]

It's like a grave...

[ She holds out a hand for one of Nanami's rocks. ]

Or a marker...or just a spot a hiker got bored. They take some time to build but...I have one started already. Do you want to add anything?

[waitingforplayer2]

[ She nods enthusiastically. Instead of handing Sara a rock, she takes Sara's hand to help her stand up. She still toys with the galaxy rock - not sure whether to keep it or donate it. ]

Where is it?

[samuraiwomen]

[ ? Oh, okay! Sara can't help a small smile at that. ]

Back towards a clearing with a lot of red lillies. C'mon.

[ It's a short walk, but when the two girls get there, Nanami can see a small stacked pile of rocks, painted and unpainted, with a few gemstones balanced among them. ]

I really didn't like the idea of gatcha at first, but I'm glad I have all these rocks now.

[waitingforplayer2]

[ Her breath catches in her throat. ]

It's beautiful.

[ She sinks to her knees in front of the little cairn, just staring at it for a while. The gemstones sparkle, like stars dotting the little structure.

She opens her bag and pulls out some of her rocks, carefully placing a couple more on the structure. After some thought, she uses some of the plainer rocks to craft a small circle on the ground around the cairn.

She keeps three of the stones for herself, nearly emptying her bag. At some point while doing her embellishment of the structure, a couple of tears have fallen from her eyes, and she sniffs and wipes them away. ]
