[ Yuuri all but slams the door behind Kurumi just to make sure no one comes in after her. That, and because she needs something else solid to lean herself against. She feels ill through every part of her body like she's been hollowed out and filled with nausea. This must be a dream, a nightmare, because if she really considers what is going to happen here then she might just fall to pieces.
She doesn't say anything at first. In fact, she's not even looking at Kurumi. Her eyes are vacant, settled on the middle distance and she's picking anxiously at the hem of her sleeves like she always does when she's distressed. It's only when Kurumi says Rii-san that her head snaps up.
For a moment, Yuuri just makes wordless, soundless shapes with her mouth. Confess? Kurumi can't confess. She can't tell them she killed someone. Not when it'll just lead to more death. ]
Kurumi, you... I can't...
[ I can't do this, is what she wants to moan and she takes a shuddering sobbing breath all the way all the way down to her stomach. She grits her teeth, clenches her fist and shakes her head. ]
I LOVE YOU TOO
