( She felt like she'd let them down by letting the first car drive away. But she also knows they must have overheard her conversation with the first driver though and that makes her feel even worse. When the car leaves, she remains still for a moment, tense and absolutely embarrassed. She couldn't say anything to defend them at all and had simply let him drive away...
She takes a breath, looking back at her new friends with an anxious sort of courage. )
W-we'll try again. ( She won't cry. She won't cry. Ah, her voice is trembling just a little, ) We'll... we'll find someone better.
( She's certain. Or at least, she hopes so. And their hitchhiking friend agrees with her and insists everything will be okay and that surely this one just wasn't meant to be! And Ain.... he only says he'll do it? She has no idea what he means by that and as they wait, each second feels like a minute and every minute feels like an hour and.... when will another car come? Had she really ruined their only chance?
Another car comes and where she hesitates, Ain acts. The couple glance around Ain's shoulder and they see a smiling and optimistic stranger with... a girl who looks terribly afraid and like she could cry at any moment. The woman whispers something to her husband and they seem to discuss the situation between themselves before the man unlocks the back door and tells them to get in. )
Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!
( She hadn't realized she'd been holding her breath and now that she's able to let it go, she feels relieved. They ahdn't messed up! They'd done it! Or rather, Ain had.
And now they're going to have to squeeze into the single back row of this car. Sakura will sit in the middle since she's the smallest of the three and... well, the entire ride, she's just quiet. Absolutely quiet as she looks down at her hands, folded in her lap, firm and anxious. The woman looks back at first to tell Sakura everything will be all right and the next town is close. But like all Near Shore residents, she soon forgets her most anxious passenger and instead, seems perfectly content to ignore their chattering, strange friend. About five minutes into their drive, Sakura takes advantage of their lack of presence and whispers quietly to Ain, )
