( hmmm... she doesn't wanna let go of these, though. she kinda needs them, for the imps? it's really nice to be able to see them, and she can go imp-hunting later, when akira isn't around... )

These really help me, though... see, my mother never cared enough to take me to get my eyes checked, so... ( she hangs her head, expression falling. ) Not to mention, we don't have money for them, anyway... I'd have to sell myself again, if I wanted to afford a pair, and even as I am right now, doing homework is so hard, I can't see anything —

( she's about to cry, yes. whether it's faking having your ribs broken for attention or making up a home life more terrible than it already is, she... well, she has a penchant for dramatics. )

Please, Senpai... just a few days, I'm sure... something can be arranged... !
