[ Although the thought of the party brings another smile to her lips briefly. But she shrugs and pushes herself up from the bench to take Schneider's hand. ]
[ Although Maika sounds more amused than sharp about it. Sometimes, one is just the world's angriest extrovert. She gives Schneider a bow only slightly ironic in its awkwardness and follows her obligingly in the sway, athletic-graceful despite the unfamiliarity of dancing again. ]
...I didn't think I could miss my own world. This place made me realize otherwise.
[ Maika spins, her expression brightening a little despite herself. With our without those memories, there's still no denying that she loves to dance. ]
...What, you mean you think every world out there only makes fucked-up people?

If you had something you wanted to do, what would it be?

...I don't know. People who knew me as a child tell me I loved to dance. I want to remember that. But it's not a direction.
[ An objective, a purpose. She's someone who doesn't know how to steer without that. ]

[ Schneider laughs and begins to move to the beat, her steps natural and at ease]
Even the shithole places.

[ The one you belong in. Maika's grin turns wry, just a little focused as she follows the rhythm that Schneider picks out. ]
...There were beautiful places there, too. Maybe not many, anymore. But they hung on. And they'll rebuild.

The only people who were ever real family to her need her now. ]
...To me, anyway. What about you? I know your home is gone. And this place...
[ Kind of sucks, actually. ]
no subject
[well, she was young enough not to know any better]
Fuck. I won't stay here though. Maybe...
[ She'll turn back to dust? Give up on everything...?]

[ She doubts the sappy words will leave Schneider's mouth, so she'll say it. Whatever. She's bared worse vulnerabilities before.
Maika glances out at the night, giving a quiet huff as she tugs Schneider along. Dancing, still moving. She hates being still. ]
You've already come this far. There's got to be something better than this.
no subject
