Hmm. [ It's her only reply to Ciel's reassurance at once. She isn't the type who wants to delude herself with false hopes only to get disappointed later, but she thinks that just maybe she can actually believe in this one. After all, it happened to other people and they came back.. the only worrisome thing is that it happened right with tons of stuff going on. But she has to believe. After all.. it's probably what friends do. She figures.

Instead she focuses on what else Ciel says. ]

No, it's not really like that. [ Not that she's hated, but.. her conclusion to begin with is because of what Anri told her. How she said that Ange or any of the others could have been hurt. Was that why she left it up, to remind herself of that, to steel her determination? It can only remain a guess as long as Anri herself isn't here. ] If it was like that, then I would already have taken care of it myself. But.. since it's Sonohara-san, I don't want to disrespect whatever her wishes might be.

[ Exactly because it's Anri. Because it seems so easy to hurt the girl. ]
