...I think seeing the number jump so much is going to be tough for everyone.
[still, after a moment:]
But I won't deny that it's - hard, this week. Probably the hardest so far. I didn't know Hope that well, but Aikawa... He's one of the only people I was around for most of the time I was at the school.
I'm sorry. I didn't know him very well, but he was sweet. [she chews her cheek.] Hope was very decent to me, this whole time. Always...checking in on Thursday night and putting up with my odd demands for sharing our space. I liked him.
He was a kind person. Obviously he was a lot different, a lot younger when I knew him back at the school, but... It seemed like he grew up to be a really great person. He didn't deserve this.
[if only that meant something more than sentiment.]
