The Slums
SINIB:
Tsumiko
Tsumiko murmered an assenting noise through her eating, simply continuing to shovel food into her mouth, into what seemed like a bottomless pit of hunger.
All Carin got from the other was silence, as the air returned to normal.
Aiden:
Carin
Well, I'm here whenever you want to talk. All you need to do is ask for me.
Carin watched as Tsumiko ate, content in the outcome for now. She could only help those who let her... even if it hurt to let let them suffer alone. She watched, and waited, and let herself drown in the feeling of helplessness as the depths of this girl's strange heart remained closed.
Until finally Carin asked, "Why did you help Samantha?"

Tsumiko
Tsumiko didn't even slow down, finishing another bowl before putting it down and turning to look at Carin.
"Because that's what a hero does, isn't it?"
She stuck her hand out, asking for more.
Aiden:
Carin
"... a hero, huh?" Carin sounded wistful as she thought about it, her face flushing as the feeling ran through her. "But why be a hero, when you have so many problems of your own to solve? What drives you?"
She sounded excited now, leaning over a bit more as she handed Tsumiko another bowl.

Tsumiko
"..." Tsumiko seemed to shrink away as Carin asked that question. She seemed to shrink inside of herself, taking the bowl quietly, moaning a little before eating.
