"...You... mind if I accompany you home?" Natsumi suggested. "I don't think either of us should be alone right now."

"Okay." She said slipping her shoes on finally. To be honest she needed someone near her, lest she try and do something desperate in the heat of her despair.

"Good", she said as she picked up her coat and put it on. "Let's go then."
They made it to the car outside... which seemed genuinely happy to see her. She could almost see it deform its bumper into a smile, as it started up its engine on its own just to basically purr.

"Drive me home." She said to the car, as she got in. "Please."

"With. Pleasure!" the car's radio answered, driving them home the moment they were in and had their seatbelts on.
"...So. You just wanna relax for now, right?" Natsumi asked.

She nodded still feeling quite down. slipping off her shoes out of boredom and discomfort.

"...Yeah. Okay..." Natsumi said simply. "Let's... do that." She wanted to try and cheer her up a bit, but was afraid to piss her off by trying to do so at the wrong moment.
The car brought them back home with ease and fast, where her apartment awaited them, unchanged.

not even getting her shoes back on, she padded back inside and collapsed face down on the couch sadly.

Natsumi followed along and kicked off her own shoes, kneeling down next to her to massage her back, again in an attempt to comfort her.
"You must be tense from spending all that time in your bed. Let me take care of that", she said as her only explanation for it.

"Ummmm." She groaned a bit enjoying the sensation more than she would have liked to admit.

"...Heh, I was right. It's like I'm undoing some huge knot in there", she said, massaging her some more. Does it hurt?"
No. No it didn't.
"Hey, we'll finally be able to eat something other than that stupid hospital food. Another day in there and I would uke out pudding", she joked half-heartedly, apparently dealing with her own sadness at the moment, but trying to stay strong for Miyuki. "Maybe we should have some pizza. Pizza cheers me up."

"Not a whole lot." She said. "Pizza does sound good."

"Right. I'll just finish relaxing this mine field of yours that you call a back, and then I'll order us some", she said playfully. She was uncharacteristically hard-working and organized compared to her usual self. Then again, maybe she was just being more helpful because she knew how sad and heartbroken her best friend was.

"Ummm... That feels nice... Lower." She requested.

"Here?" she asked, smiling, continuing the massage closer to her lower back. Sure enough, it felt very good. For all her blunt and rough sides, she could be surprisingly gentle when she wanted.
