the grnding of the wheels against the tracks can so easily be heard now that i left my compartment. the train moved at a steady speed so i was fine with moving down the corridors which were currently empty. it seems everyone was still inside their compartments. Good , very good infact
i go to the end of the train car where the bathrooms are . there's just one room for the bathroom which has a sink and soap wash . on either sides of the sink we're toilet stalls . one marked as mens and the others as womens . i checked the mens stall to guarantee know one was there .
Now it's time
I knock on the womens stall door
"Sister Lila? It's me Kenji"
" w- what? Kenji? why are you here ??"
"Sister , I…I brought a cloth for you"
"..."
"uhm , sister?"
normally i would be nervous when she didn't say anything if i didn't have experience of things like this beforehand that is .
"…you could tell?….was it that obvious?"
" No, i just happen to see some blood on her thigh when u left"
"…so then everyone else saw it too right"
all cheery demeanor from her voice disappeared
" no sister , i think it's just me"
the locking mechanism on the door made a sound. The door opened and inside was a dishelved Lila . Her skirt was on the toilet seat beside her and her blood stained panties were in full view. Blood was gradually dripping down her thighs from there.
her eyes were downcast and she wasn't looking at me when she offered her hand
I put the pad in her hand but that doesn't seem to fix the whole problem.
" my underwear wil start smelling. i can't go back anyways….this is humiliating"
" uhm actually about that " i took out my own set of spare underwear form my pocket. i took it from my bag and neatly folded it on the way here so it would fit .
" i think these will help altho they may not be a perfect fit"
" huh…"
she looks towards the underwear in my hand and finally looks back at me . i put the underwear in her hand which was still out reached and closed the door behind me.

a moment later Lila steps out . this time her cheery demeanor is back as if nothing happened. She looks at me with a friendly smile
"Thank you for the assistance junior. i'm sorry you had to see such an embarrassing sight"
saying that she bows to me
" oh no it's fine"
"i'll be going now . seeya later"
saying that , she left the premise. i assume she's gonna hide the dirty underwear in her bag to stop it from smelling . She could have asked me why i even had pads on me at the time but she didn't because she's far too embarrassed and wants to get away from me.
But why was i carrying one? well it's simple . i almost always do . i've seen this happen rather often to women. they suddenly get their period outside and don't know what to do about it . helping them like this can definitely raise their opinion of you.
Moreover if I wanted to get into Lila's good books( which i do) i'm going to have to give her some more special treatment .Women like her who seems friendly to everyone often reject confessions and feelings of others. So if I want her to be mine, i need her to show me the hidden side she has . the one she hides behind that sweet smile . that part is crucial . i already have some theories from the previous conversation from the compartment but i don't have any evidence to prove them yet.
