128. Truth

A few hours passed like a blur for Tomoka. She was aware of what had happened around her but didn’t pay much attention as she had bigger problems in her mind to handle, both literally and figuratively. Her mind had been using most of its processing power attempting to build a believable narrative that wouldn’t expose much. However, no matter how she tried, all her mind fired at her were blanks.

Deep inside she understood that she needed to tell the truth and yet her logical mind screamed at her percentages of outcomes both favorable and not. The reason her logical mind attempted and failed constantly to build a plausible lie was due to these possibilities. Tomoka had run the numbers many times in her mind and everytime she got the same result.

There is a seventy eight percent chance Hinata would abandon her. Kurama’s number was even bleaker at a ninety eight percent chance. Last but not least Nozomi had a fifty four chance to leave her as well. Of course all of these calculations could be erroneous, after all, they had been built with data she had gathered through her life. There was no way to know for real.

As Tomoka continued to overwork her brain in an attempt to find a way out, time ran out. In front of her sat both Hinata, Nozomi and Kurama inside her mindscape.

“So?” Kurama said with an impatient tone as Tomoka had spent the last minute opening and closing her mouth.

“I understand if you are angry with me, I understand if you... would want to leav-” Before Tomoka could finish speaking a crisp slap resounded through the place, then another. With her cheeks red from the slaps Tomoka saw the two girls with angry expressions that would make an oni look like a kitty in comparison.

“DON’T THINK FOR A SECOND WE WILL LEAVE YOU!” A really angry Hinata shouted with her fists held so tight her knuckles turned white.

“Much less now that we know the truth” Nozomi for her part had suspected for long that something was wrong with Tomoka. However, she never expected that the one she loved would be this broken.

“I may not feel as strongly for you as they do but even I won’t leave you alone knowing this much. Now speak the whole story, we will need to know it if we are to help”
