Characters: Rosa Ushiromiya and You!
Setting: Backdated to the 23rd and all over the Tower
Format: I'll match you whatever
Summary: Rosa wants Maria back. She wants her back badly
Warnings: Likely violence

[It wasn't fair. The one comfort Rosa had during her month-long illness was Maria. But everyone kept hiding her. And now Rosa could see they kept hurting her as well.]

[Mama, Mama, it hurts. Make it stop. Make Maria stop hurting. Uuuu...]

[She could hear the child's voice echoing in hers ears. But every time she tries to approach, Maria turns and runs. No matter how she chases after her daughter, she wouldn't be able to find her. Not until she turns her back can she hear Maria again.]

[She almost wants to ask Maria who was hurting her. However, deep in her mind, she fears the answer. She fears that Maria will tell Rosa that she did it, again. She wouldn't believe it, even if she heard it. She had sworn to herself never to hurt Maria again.]

[Then, the answer was obvious. The other people in the Tower were doing it together. Hurting Maria and hiding her. She should have known she couldn't trust anyone here.]

[For the entire day, Rosa will be rushing through the Tower, looking for Maria. Should she run into anyone else, she will not even take a moment to be courteous before leveling accusations at them.]

WHERE IS MARIA?

[She nods, and even allows herself to smile at him.]

Then...which way should we go first? I already searched two of the floors under this one.

Have you searched below those? Splitting up might be best if we have the entire tower to search...

No, not yet. Then...if we split up, what would you do if you found her and I wasn't around?

We could agree to meet somewhere after we've searched the entire tower going our own ways. I could bring her to this meeting spot if I find her.

[She nods.]

The fourth floor, then? I will also bring her if I find her. Just so you will not have to keep search fruitlessly.

The fourth floor. We should hurry, and hope to find her before nightfall...

*And hope her captors are nice enough to keep her in a dorm room if they don't.*

...Thank you. And if we do not find her by nightfall, I'll go and search for her again. Just this help is more than I expected.

[She turns around.]

I'll go down now. Can you go up, then?

I will. I'll be sure to search the floors carefully for her.

*And ask trusted allies if they've seen a girl matching her description. But he doesn't even know who to trust anymore.*
