Hikari stoof in front of the castle doors hesitating. She was already late but she still didnt enter. She had been late because Doubt, of course, had been filling her head with the nonsense that was no an everyday thing for Hikari now.
Doubt went again with all his questions. Questions questions questions. One after the other. Nonstop.
You know, Riri, this whole thing sounds pretty fishy, don't you think? Is this legit? What if no one's there? What if this whole thing's a joke? Even if it's not, it doesn't even sound like the message is for you, does it? Something only you can do? Is there anything that only you can do? Anything that makes you special? Even if there is something only you can do, will you be able to go through it? For that matter, if there's anyone there, do you really want to learn more? I'm not sure you do, do you? Do you really think this will help you? Do they really want to help you? Can you even be helped? Do you need help? Or are you fine on your own? You know, Riri, this could be a really bad mistake, don't you think?
"I'm not listening," Hikari said allowed. It was a lie, of course, because she couldn't stop herself from hearing Doubt, try as she had for the past month.
You know, Riri, its not to late to turn back, don't you think? Maybe its better if you just leave and pretend you never got the message? Or do you need the help? Were you doing okay before? Do you think you were doing okay before? What if what you think is wrong? What if you shouldn't think about it at all? But what if that's a bad idea? You know, Riri, it's better to just not go in, don't you think?
"Doubt, shut up," Hikari said, though she knew Doubt wouldn't because he never did. Hikari almost always had a headache because of his constant rambling. "And stop calling me Riri." Hikari thougth,Don't let Doubt get to you. Your already here despite him so might as well go inside.
Hikari swung the door open gently and went inside, only to find that a girl had already begun speaking. Or rather she was speaking through a tablet.
"Excuse me for both my tardiness and interruption,"she said with a polite dip of her head, hoping she didn't disrupt anything. She looked at everyone with cold gaze but was relieved to find that there were people there. Hikari quietly (or as quietly as she could in high heels) approached the rest of the group but stayed a good distance behind them.
