Magical Girl Quest - The Fire That Burns

You give in, just a little, and bury your face in her chest, pretending you don't feel the quickly growing patch of damp cloth against your face. She shifts over slightly, just holding you and staring over your head, thankfully keeping her hands stationary, you think you might have a breakdown if she showed that she actually cared.

Eventually you stop shuddering, your eyes dry and face sore. She doesn't comment when you turn away and rub your face, but does speak up when you turn towards the door. "Your face is all red and puffy, your sister will see." You stop, rubbing your face as she sighs. "You should wash your face." She steps past you and swings the door open, the shimmer of magic disappearing, frantic voices suddenly audible from down the hall. "Don't worry, she's just fallen asleep."

You nod, sniffing wetly as you try to regain your composure and pretend that never happened. "She did that earlier, but it's only been an hour..." You frown, stepping into the bathroom as Tohru swings it open. She gives you a small smile and stays outside, letting the door swing closed as you approach the sink, deliberately not looking at the mirror. The water is cold and it feels like it's burning your face, but it's a good pain, pain helps you focus.

[That's a good attitude.] Your head jerks upwards as a familiar voice suddenly fills your head, almost hitting the box mounted on the wall. What do you want? [Not much, just giving you a choice.] You wipe away the leftover water on your face, risking a glance to see your face mostly clear again. And what choice is this? [Well, this vacation really wasn't for you, you aren't the sort to relax anyway.] You frown, putting the towel back on the rack as she continues rambling. [But anyway, I was thinking on your thoughts about being spoilt and well, I kind of agree with you.]

Your eyebrow twitches and you restrain yourself from growling. Gaia, can you not do this right fucking now? [Well, I could, but really this just works into my plans better.] You grit your teeth. [I always intended for you to be a leader, but I realised that I haven't been giving you any leaderly training or tasks.] You feel a sense of foreboding as the door behind you silently cracks open, a concerned red eye peering through. [Your training begins now, part one: Making Hard Decisions]

Gaia what- [I will be taking you out of the country and dropping you alone into the middle of the thickest fighting in the war.] Your thoughts grind to a halt. [You have two choices available to you, Choice A: Stay here until Willow dies, and get no support at all. Or B: Leave today, and have the ability to call on a single member of your team once per day.] Your hand slowly drops to your side as you hear the door behind you swing open.

You hear Tohru quietly cross the room as you process, only able to slowly choke out the one thought in your mind. "You bitch." A concerned sound from behind you makes you slowly look to the side, Tohru looking uncomfortable as she looks around the room, searching for something that she can't see. [You have ten seconds to choose, chop chop.]
