Kiyoko clenched her fist in frustration before resolving herself to do better from now on and to never be complacent about her abilities. She had to get stronger for those she cared about, she didn't want to feel like that powerless widow ever again. She walked towards her tent where she found Hana waiting for her though it could be seen her eyes were puffy as though she'd just been crying. Before she could open her mouth, Kiyoko already knew what was going on. Her heart stopped before beating in panic as she rushed past Hana into her tent to find a horrendous scene. Kiyoko fully expected to find Muri's corpse laying on the cot however she let out a strained sigh of relief as it turned out to be someone else though slightly less important to her. Kiyoko Aura scolded herself for sighing in relief as she knelt beside the cot containing the heavily bandaged body of her subordinate squad member Momo. The First Class female Investigator was bloodlessly pale and covered in a sheen of sweat. Her body was wrapped in bandages especially on her left side where there were stumps where her limbs should be. Kiyoko noticed the bloody bandages trying to stop the bleeding where Momo had lost her left arm and leg. The young woman was unconscious but barely breathing, seeming to be suffering from a fever due to the heavy blood loss. Kiyoko caressed Mimi's forehead as she battled her fever, there was no guarantee she'd survive this but Kiyoko intended on doing all she could to help. She'd lost enough squad members, all she had left were Hana and Muri if Momo died. Though it was clear Momo's days as a ghoul investigator were over. Hana stood behind Kiyoko doing her best not to burst into tears again. She could barely handle losing so many people, Momo was the last living member of the Aura squad apart from Kiyoko and Muri. They had so much history together and Hana still remembered the first time they met. Hana felt so much grief and fear at the thought of losing Momo too, she'd already lost other squad members Issei and Sumire during the Academy attack. Hana felt that it was too much dealing with all this loss but she forced herself to hold it together as she could only imagine how Kiyoko was feeling losing another close subordinate. The guilt and feeling of responsibility must be crushing her as she looked at another dying subordinate.
