7 Have you thought of leaving?

After a while, Miya came to find me. "Sorry I was gone for so long, something important came up." "No, it's fine, time passes very fast when your observing the world around you." Miya giggled at my reply. She agreed to show me around the village and help me find a place to stay for a night. Maybe I was just pitying her but, I felt bad for Miya. Her parents worked at the capital, so she barely ever saw them and unless she could prove herself to worthy to work (since it was difficult for women to get jobs) , she'd probably have to stay in this small village for the rest of her life. "Have you ever considered leaving this town?" I accidentally let that question slip out, without thinking about how Miya would feel. "Eh? Leaving? Hmm, I've never considered it. This village is the place my parents first met, so I've never wanted to leave." I could tell by the tone of her voice, she was lying. Kiyoshi seemed to have overheard my question. She pulled Miya aside talk.

Later that night, it was decided that I would stay at Kiyo's house since she had an extra room. Kiyo had to go buy diner so she left me at her house so I could go see my room. On my way there, I heard a voice. I guess I looked shocked beacause she immediately started apologizing for scaring me. "Hello, I'm Cecilia, may I ask who you are?" "Umm... hi.. my name is Lyla." I guess this is what you call an extremely socially awkward person. Suddenly the front door opened, Kiyo was back. "Lyla! I didn't know you were coming over! May I ask who let you in?" Kiyo said sarcastically. "I didn't think you would mind! After all, I'm just getting the book I 'forgot'," Lyla answered coping Kiyo's sarcastic tone.
