[OOC: This takes place after Rama's departure and before LV's thread in the council room.]
Nuriko breathed a sigh of relief as she made it back to her room. The halls were empty. She opened the door and shut it tight. She was exhausted... she and Jedah had spent hours locked in the Empire Council room alone, discussing between themselves tirelessly that first night.
She understood why so many had cracked under this type of pressure. Nuriko had always been a second, leaving herself as far out of important decisions as she possibly could. Only coming in to aid Lady Dia and smooth out the occassional debate gone sour...
This is what Rama did... but not...
...but not anymore.
Nuriko shut her eyes. These chambers were so quiet. No husband... no daughter. She looked towards Kali's room. Due to her recent load of work, she had to send Kali with Sierra. Time with either of them was looking to be more and more of an impossibility.
Kill them.
Nuriko looked up and around.
These people are impossible! You know it's the truth! They ***** about the system, this Empire you've come to love so much... they complain about the leadership, they complain about not being part of the leadership, they complain about everything. None of them even trying to constructive.... all of them just waiting for their "rewards"! For what they feel they deserve instead of what's best for the whole group!
Jedah and Nuriko had worked too hard. That final seat on the council went from needing to be filled to needing to be left vacant. If only the others could've seen it... Jedah had to keep her from cutting it in half with her sabre.
No matter who you put there, they wouldn't be satisfied....
"I have to try..." she found herself saying weakly.
SCREW THIS!! WHY DO YOU WANT TO TRY SO HARD FOR THESE UNGRATEFUL PESTS!!? THEY DROVE YOUR LOVER AWAY!!
Her eyes snapped open. Nuriko placed her hand on her head.
Deep in your heart... you want them to burn. They deceive you... they judge you... they're nothing but hypocrites. You WANT them to BURN.
She was tired... and lonely. If she was lucky, the next day would be hopefully prove to not be so equally eventful. Perhaps some resolution would be found and faith would find itself well-placed.
Nuriko looked at her wedding ring. She had threatened to leave Rama before... if any of the bad feelings he felt were half as bad as what she felt now, she could only feel greater regret and sorrow. He hadn't divorced her though... he had simply left.
She had sent some hired help to track him down after she had gotten word he had left. They weren't able to keep on his trail but judging by the direction he went, she could only assume one place. "First he abandons us... then he goes there without me."
Nuriko staggered to the bed and sprawled on it, looking around the room. She spotted something draped on a chair and went towards it, picked it up, and held it. Rama's jacket.
She curled on the bed holding it and went to sleep.
