[ There's something different about Mercy's death that hurts Orihime more than any of the others did.
She was close to Mercy on some level. Mercy looked out for her, they'd investigated together, Orihime talked to her about a lot of things. So seeing Mercy dead on the floor, only to be enveloped by the same shadow who'd taken the culprits away is more than just a shock to her. It causes her chest to hurt, her stomach to churn, and Orihime feels sick. ]
Angela-san!
[ She starts to run for her before the shadow can take her whole; it's too late. Mercy is already gone.
Orihime's still for a while, trying to process what's just happened, but she can't. How...how do you process a friend, someone who took care of you, dying just because of Rule Three?
She's going to kneel on the floor for a bit and just. Cry. Forget that Mercy was a doctor who knew how to investigate bodies. She was kind and sweet and Orihime really looked up to her. ]
