"Karin?" Takamina asked.

"Karin?" Takamina asked.
Karin felt bad, but she knew if she lied, she'd make things worse. She wanted to walk after the girl but decided that it wasn't the time to. She walked back to her room.
"You aren't untrustworthy," said Rei. "If the question was worded slightly differently she would have picked you for sure. The question was who she'd let read her mind not whom she trusts the most."
"I wouldn't say that you're untrustworthy at all, Hotaru," Takamina smiled. "And I wouldn't say it's silly either. You're a wonderful person, and Yumeko does definitely have a reason to say what she did. The only way to find out what that really is, is to ask her, not try to figure out what she's thinking. Plus, if you could constantly hear everything she was thinking, wouldn't it be less interesting to know her? Because if that was the case, you'd always know what she was thinking, and she would know that. It would completely change the dynamic of your relationship. Isn't it, in a sense, more fun to not know? Because then, you know that every feeling, every secret, everything she tells you, is because she wants to tell you, not because she knows that you'll just find out from her thoughts anyway?"
Rei nodded to what Takamina said. "She is right Hotaru," she said and smiled. "How would you two still be fire&ice if you knew everything that goes in Yumeko's mind?"
"Precisely," Takamina smiled. "She didn't say what she did because she doesn't trust you, Hotaru. She values your friendship. From the outside, anyone can see that."
Hotaru could see that what Takamina and Rei said was true. She smiled. "You are right," she said. "I better talk to her." She stood up and smiled "Thank you both," she said. She turned to Rei. "And sorry about telling everyone about your ticklish points earlier. I wasn't thinking at all. MIght be one of the reasons it's bad idea to ler me hear someone else's thoughts."
"No worries," Takamina smiled. "It's only nice to be able to help whenever I can."
Rei smiled. "It's alright. What's done is done. Besides my move with trying to make you watch that movie wasn't the most mature response either."
Hotaru smiled. "I'll see you all tomorrow then," she said. And then remembered Rei. "Well except you Rei, I'll proably see you in few minutes since we share our room. Just don't read for too long!" She then left.
"I won't read for too long," said Rei as Hotaru was leaving. She then said good night to other members and went to her room as well.
