She had noted that the Lion princess didn't make it to her room. The Moshi girl heard the rumors that a Lion had died. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put it together that her roommate had died. Atena went to the temple now next to Koryn's memorial, Chiyoko's. The girl made a reverence as a part of the rituals of respect to the dead. The girl sat down in seiza and started to whisper knowing that the wind will not carry her voice to her deceased friend. "Neh, Matsu san, as we tried to change the hatred toward our clans into something beautiful as friendships sometimes help built bridges to a better life... I didn't have the chance to know you better and we should have had more time together. You know Matsu san I won't give up and will try my best in this miai." She cleared her tears. "I should stop crying and be as strong as you."

Kamui was heading to the dojo, rifle case in hand, when he sees Moshi-san crying. He stops and walks to her side. "I'm very sorry, Moshi-san. I never had the chance to meet her. I would have liked to, soldier to soldier. Matsu-sama was a pretty famous sniper." He pulls down his rifle case and sits down next to her.

She kept her head low but knew who was talking to her. It has been a voice that she had listened most of the last few days. "She was really known by it. She was a simple woman. I am somewhat hurt by her." The girl frowned. "Only if... I guess the Lion might be happy that a Mantis has been wounded." She closed her eyes. "I guess I am being silly."

"No, Moshi-san. You are grieving your fallen friend. You have survivor's remorse and that's normal right now." Kamui looks at her tearing eyes. "I will stay with you as long as you want. If you don't mind some company..."

"Thank you Daidoji san. I am sorry but I don't feel like Karaoke tonight." After all Atena tried the previous night to have fun with friends and everyone bailed. The girl sighed.

"It's okay, Moshi-san. We can do something else if you want. I was heading to the shooting range when I saw you." He thinks about all the stuff she's been through in a little over a week now.

"I guess some target practice could help. Maybe honor the memory of my friend." The girl looked at the Daidoji and nodded.

"I did something like that with another Lion after Kuni-masa funeral. But, if you wish to honor they friend, we can go together."

"Ah... hai..." She nodded again. "Just a few more minutes... I just want to think a bit more about her and we shall go."

"I'm in no hurry now. She seems to have made a big impression on you in the short time you were friends..." He looks down in the ground in thought. "I'm so sorry, Moshi-san..."

The Moshi decided to give the Lioness one good bye song. That last sentence she stated. "I can't promise I won't cry anymore, Matsu san but at least will try to control my emotions a bit more."

"That was beautiful, Moshi-san. You have a lovely singing voice." I keeps his composer though it, but it was moving none the less.

"Thank you... Daidoji san." The girl took a deep breath and stood up. "I guess this is good bye Matsu san... may your soul be reborn."

"You are very welcome, Moshi-san. I hope the both of you find peace you need." He jumps up to stand and makes a Crane military salute to Matsu-sama.

"Ah hai." She then looked at the other memorial. "Kuni san take care of her in Meido okay." The girl giggled as she shook her head. Moved back giving a bow.

Kamui bows the other memorial and picks up his rifle case. "I guess a little giggling means you're doing okay as can be expected."

"I just think is silly asking another lost soul to take care of the one who is recently lost." The girl sighed. "Don't worry Daidoji san... i will be fine."

"I know you can keep care of yourself, it's just been a lot for anyone to hander on your own." He says sympathetically.

"I think we can go now." She gave a bow to the two memorials and turned to the Daidoji. "I should bring them something next time."

"Alright. Off to the shooting range." He starts off to there way.
