Cirno just nodded a bit, sighing deeply. "Yes..Until the person gets at least to zero someone gets hit with a major penalty every hour on the hour....It lasted a long time...8 people got hit. And we can't just say who it is or give them raks." She would have stopped it early if she could have.

She takes one bare foot into her hand, trying to keep her focus on something. She just didn't want to look up just yet. "A lot has happened and some of it just starts to show up again...Every time I try to make friends or be somewhat happy...I get knocked back down. So instead, I just let everyone else be happy and think I'm okay...I even sold a memory that made me sad to try and help with that."

She shrugs a bit. She had built up walls around her without knowing it and now that she was faced with them, she didn't know what to do. Cirno sighs a bit and mumbles softly, "I'm just worried that...I'll get close and this place will tear whatever that is away...I wanna believe that it won't happen..."

And she's come full circle it seems. Back to her original problem that she had said in the very beginning.
