The next few days were absolutely unbearable, there are days when I longed to lock them all in a room and sick a pack of hungry badgers on them, but I knew in honesty that a pack of hungry badgers would be the least dangerous thing in that room
Michiko and Thea were still refusing to talk to each other, their interactions since that day have had so much tension I could pluck it like a guitar string
They wouldn't speak unless it was absolutely necessary, like asking who wanted to use the bathroom, or when Suzuki would send to call us from dinner, even then, those interactions were one worded and with little to no eye contact, whenever I corner one of them and demand they tell why they were fighting, they'd both tell me they weren't fighting and that I was overthinking things, I've seen my fair share of lover's quarrels but this was just absurb
