Mina smiled slightly as she scrolled through her phone, her eyes drooping as she slowly began to grow tired from... well the day and all. She yelped the device started to ring and she grit her teeth before answering the phone. “Hello?”
Mina’s blood ran cold and the sound of crying from her parents and she stayed quiet, her eyes wide as she waited for them to say anything as she clutched the covers of her bed in anxiety, shivering slightly.
“Mina honey, your si-sister’s been in an accident.”
“W-What...?” Mina choked out, throat going dry as a sob left her lips. “What happened Is- is she okay?” She pressed worriedly and a sigh from her mother was heard on the other line.
“The doctors say they think she’ll make a full recovery if she gets plenty of rest.”
“Can I see her?” Mina asked in a small voice.
“Oh Cupcake...” This time Mina’s dad spoke up. “You know UA’s on lockdown, if you leave you can’t come back until they open up again..”
A whimper left Mina’s mouth. “Oh- oh yeah, you’re right, I’ll- Tell her I miss her? And I hope she gets better soon?”
“Sure thing Pumpkin, we’ll call again tomorrow to check in.”
“W-
The line went dead and Mina gasped, running her hands through her hair with a sharp cry. No no, she wasn’t going to lose it here, her sister was gonna be fine, she was gonna be fine.
Mina wiped her puffy eyes with a sniffle, walking towards the door, she wasn’t tired anymore, maybe she could see if anyone was in the common room or something.

Toga hummed to herself as she quietly mixed the cookie dough in the kitchen, grinning to herself when she was satisfied before pulling out the cookie sheets and starting to scoop out the dough and plop them down on the sheets.
Sato and recently taught her how to cook and now she couldn’t get enough of the sweet treats that came out of the oven piping hot. She grinned as she slid the three pans into the oven when she finished scooping.
She clapped her hands together and walked over to the sink, pressing down on the soap bottle and rubbing her hands together before turning all the water, letting the water soak her hands and wash the chemicals away.
She stiffened however when she heard sniffles coming from the room opposite to her and she turned off the water, drying her hands off before walking towards the common room. She froze as she saw her friend crying on one of the couches, her arms shaking, Toga frowned as she walked over to her. “Hey... Ashido, you okay?” She murmured as she took a seat next to her and she grunted when the pink skinned girl threw her arms around her and cried into her shirt.
Well that wasn’t normal for Mina- was she okay?
She gingerly wrapped her arms around Mina as she listened to her cry.
Mina finally dropped her hands after a bit of consoling from Toga and a tearful explanation of what had happened, scooching her back to the back of the couch with a sniffle.
“Are you feeling better?” Toga asked and Mina nodded. “Th-Thank you.. I jus- I just needed someone to talk to... I-“ She babbled, her amber eyes shining with more unshed tears.
Toga’s eyes softened.
“Do you wanna go back to your room?” The blonde murmured, “I don’t know about you but when I’m upset I don’t like to be.. y’know in the common room .” She giggled and Mina laughed along with her, wiping the tears from her eyes with a hand.
“S-Sure.” She squeaked out softly as she stood, legs shaking slightly as she moved but smiling as Toga moved to stabilize her, putting her hand on her shoulder. “And Pinky?” Toga asked softly, Mina turning her head to look at her. “She’d be grateful if she knew you were this worried about her.”
Mina’s smile became shaky and she threw her arms around Toga again, a wheezing laugh escaping the blonde’s lips. “Th-Thank you.” She whispered.
