And there she was, in the same bed I slept just a few months ago. Suisei-senpai was completely naked, staring at me with a surprised look on her face. It doesn't last, as she immediately grabs a blanket to cover herself, holding it over her chest.
I feel like my heart is being broken into a million pieces. Over and over again. I stare in pure disbelief, my brain refusing to fully process what is happening.
"What is the meaning of this, peko."
Seems like Miko-senpai finally managed to catch up as she enters the room beside me.
"It's not what you think Usada.." She tries to justify, but the weakness of the voice coming out of her mouth betrays her.
"Is not what I think? THAT?" I point towards the naked girl on the bed. "That is not what I think?"
She goes completely silent again, just squirming where she stands, trying to come up with something. But she can't, because the truth is right in front of our eyes.
"I thought you said you loved me, peko. I thought you said you'd always be there for me, and that's what you've been doing as soon as we separate for a bit. Anyone will do for you, isn't it? Even HER."
The pool of sadness forming inside me quickly ignites, turning into a furious storm instead as I keep pointing towards Suisei-senpai who just stares at me with an unreadable expression, finally opening her mouth to say something.
"Like me? What do you even mean by that."
Her voice is as cold as ice. I suppress a shiver, my brain screaming danger at me. But I refuse to listen to it as I yell at her.
"You.. I don't know how you seduced Miko-senpai, but you're bad news peko, I've watched how you've been clinging to her recently, just leave her alone!"
She stares at me in disbelief before her face contorts into annoyance. Still holding onto the blanket to cover herself, she gets off the bed, taking a more active stance closer to me. This is bad. The fact she's much taller than me and her eyes, those damn eyes, make her look so threatening that I almost panic and run away. I grit my teeth and miraculously stand my ground, glaring at her.
"You don't even realize YOU'RE the problem, Pekora? It's you, it's your fault. Do you realize how much you've hurt Miko by your indecision? How depressed she was as you left her in limbo?"
I watch as she lets go of the blanket and instead pulls Miko-senpai closer to herself, grabbing and clinging to her body from behind, wrapping both her arms around Miko as she uses it to cover her nakedness. Her head is poking over Miko's shoulder as she lets out a disturbingly sweet voice.
"I'll give Mikochi everything you refused to. You just abandoned her when she needed you the most. I'll love her, take care of her and always be present for her. Shouldn't you be happy for your friend, instead?"
This woman.. I think I'm gonna puke. I hold back my disgust as Miko only flinches and blushes while Suisei has her completely under control.
"That's not true, right, Miko-senpai? There's no way that's true."
"I.. I.."
She completely avoids my gaze, staring at the ground as she tries her best to come up with an answer. This can't be..
"Miko-senpai.."
My heart sinks again. My brain tries to reject it, but exactly as happened earlier, the truth is right in front of my eyes. I've been so worried about losing her, about wanting to go back to how things were before, about having her stolen from me that I didn't stop for a moment to think about how she felt all this time. I didn't even ask, I just assumed everything would be fine. But I couldn't be more wrong.
My knees get weak from the sudden realization and I feel like the floor is being pulled from under me. I stumble forward, almost losing my balance entirely when someone grabs me. When I look up, a pair of blue eyes stare deeply into mine
