"Yui," Kirie echoes, trying it out. She nods at the other girl with a smile, encouraging her to go on.
"Since you're new to this neighbourhood, 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."
Kirie leans towards Yui, intrigued. Whatever she has to say, it seems important, and if Kirie's becoming privy to vital information - as Hirahara puts it - after only a couple of days, it must be pretty important.
As Yui explains about Himura's brother, Kirie's expression grows horrified, her hands pressed together in her lap, lunch forgotten. It's tragic, and she can't imagine anyone being forced to survive through that kind of loss. She's an only child, so she could hardly empathise, but to lose a sibling, and a twin at that...
"No one cared that he was dead. Still, no one cares. Even Himura Hajime didn't deserve to be just... forgotten like that."
Kirie clenches her jaw. Somehow she feels that Yui isn't exaggerating, isn't lying to her, and it makes her all the more angrier - how can people be so cruel? It explains what she overheard, she realises suddenly, and she allows herself a brief moment to marvel at how stoic Himura is.
"Maybe if someone had just talked to him, made some effort, then he..." Without thinking, Kirie reaches out, resting her hand on Yui's. It's oddly awkward - Kirie is very out of her depth, she must be more affected than she thought - and she pulls away quickly. Still, it works, because the other girl stops her sentence, then takes a deep breath. It's not your fault, she wants to say, but it's not her place. She's never even met Himura Hajime.
While Kirie turns the events over in her mind, Yui seems to get over herself quickly, laughing as if they've been doing nothing more than sharing a friendly joke. A million questions race through Kirie's mind, and are discarded just as quickly, not wanting to seem rude or disproportionately interested. "Thank you for letting me know," she says instead, just before Yui says goodbye and beats a hasty retreat. Kirie's eyes follow her, curious as to her intended effect. Before she has more time to think on it, though, the bell rings, and she's forced to pack her things away. Maybe later.
She notices when Himura slips into class, heading to his seat unnoticed, and she can't help but feel just a little bit bad for him. What a horrible thing, to lose a brother...
She resolves to work harder at being nice to him. It's all she can do.
