Maki
Maki had been sobbing historically for what seemed like an hour. Rei eventually spoke softy
"Maki...please stop crying...if we want to break out of here we have to act fast...we have to be smart..."
Maki tried her best to calm down by taking deep breaths.
Rei looked at the ground unable to make eye contact. Maki rubbed her eyes embarrassed of the scene she just made.
"I would hope that you know this place quite well...all of the exits and entrances...or at least have a map of it...I would also hope that you would have or at least know how to get a key to each of these exits," Rei said this, speaking softly.
"If you have the materials and knowledge we need to get out of here, I could provide the means to push through the guards. W-we...we could both make it out of here by tomorrow if we worked hard enough." He added.
Maki nodded. Her memory was exceptional. She could recall the blueprints of the facility, that she snuck a peek at before it was built. She knew the exits, where the weapons were kept, as for keys... she knew the face of the guard that held a ring of them. She described the guard, and the blueprints shape and how she knew she could find the weapon room. Then she realized this was all she could offer, she knew it wasn't useless information. But if she didn't have this information she would have been useless all together. She was small, clumsy, and weak. Feeling a significant amount of sadness wash through her. She blinked back tears, looked away from Rei so he wouldn't see. She had to grow up fast if she was going to survive with her new companion.
"I'm sorry for what I said, i didn't mean it. I know theres no excuse, I should have chosen my words more carefully" Your not a monster, you have more restraint than a monster, she thought to herself.
Maki forced herself to look at him once more. No mater how much she wished for him to hold her; tell her everything was going to be ok. She knew she had no right to ask him of that. Maki had to force herself not to be selfish.
"I'm sorry I cant offer more than that..." she said this softly, then looked away. She waited patiently for him to respond, he was probably thinging something like,
All that is good but it looks like im gonna be doing all of the heavy lifting...Maybe she was being to harsh on herself, she pushed that thought away as quickly as it came. She has no right to complain, Rei was the one who went through hell, not her.
She took another deep breath. I refuse to be useless She thought to herself.
