[Surely enough, she doesn't. Sayaka can't very well leave the little critter to her fate, admittedly, but she will look over to Sunrise as she tries to gently pick Noraxia up.]

Sunrise-san. Did you...find anything else in there?

[She unfortunately didn't quite register the things Sunrise was doing, but...]

[cleansewithfire]

Just some sheets.

[ It probably doesn't take a genius to figure out what she used those sheets for. ]

...I think she can rest with the others.

[destage]

...Let's get her over there, then. It's the least that can be done, though I've...never done this before.

[It definitely doesn't, though Sayaka is definitely a little more blank after all of this. But she wants to do what she can, at least. For Noraxia, for the others.

For those they lost.]

[ For those they lost.

Sunrise reaches out to take Noraxia, if Sayaka will let her. ]

...You did your best, Sayaka.

[ And she means this earnestly. Sunrise can handle this because death is inherent to her. Yi Sang seems unfortunately experienced with facing gruesome situations. But as far as Sunrise knows, Sayaka had a relatively mundane life where these morbid matters were not meant to be a regular occurrence. That she can face them at all is already a lot. ]

[destage]

...Thank you. I'm sorry if I concerned you all at first.

[Sayaka chuckles a bit, though there's no humor to it. No warmth, no real life to it. Nothing but the determination to see this through.

...And maybe a little bit of pity for the people who fell here. Sayaka will hand Noraxia off to her, though she ends up lingering near Sunrise nonetheless.]

...It's one thing to come from the situation I did, but I...I guess I have gotten somewhat used to this.

[cleansewithfire]

[ She holds Noraxia's body carefully.

...

Perhaps Sunrise had been mistaken in her assumption. ]

I hope you do not have to become too used to this.

[ It would speak a lot of the state of the world, if so. ]
