"Yes, but you can call me Yui. Everyone does." Yui says with a friendly smile, one that quickly turns sad. "As for what I wanted to talk about...since you're new to this neighborhood, you may not know things that everyone else does, and it wouldn't be kind to leave you in the dark, not with something so...vital." xx
Her voice drops in volume, as if she were terrified someone would overhear and get angry. Which wasn't an unfounded fear. "A year ago yesterday, Himura-kun's twin brother Hajime jumped off the school roof and killed himself. He'd always been kind of a recluse, no one seemed to respect him. The adults used to talk badly about him, every chance they got, and I suppose all of us simply took after them. Hatsuko was his only friend. They were so close, too..." xx
"No one cared that he was dead. Still, no one cares." Yui frowns, shifts nervously in her chair. "Even Himura Hajime didn't deserve to be just...forgotten like that." xx
There's a long pause as a group of other girls shuffle past, laughing about one thing or another. Yui glances at them as they leave and then sighs. "Himura- well, Hatsuko-kun and I have been friends since Junior High, but I don't think I ever spoke to Hajime-kun. I feel bad about that. Maybe if someone had just talked to him, made some effort, then he..." Yui takes a deep breath, clearly feeling guilt. "Well, now you know. Himura-kun hasn't been quite the same, not since last year. I don't think anyone's noticed. He won't talk to me about it..." xxx
"Anyways, I just thought you should know!" She says, laughing. "I guess there really wasn't much purpose in telling you, now that I think about it, but too late. At least now you won't seem ignorant if it comes up in conversation, right?" xxxx
Glancing at her watch, Yui bids a quiet goodbye to Kihara and goes back to her seat, having eaten nothing of her lunch. The bell rings just as she sits down and class begins, leaving Kihara to wonder what on Earth Yui's intention was. xx
