It's gotten later in the morning, meaning more people, which is in Usagi and Haruka's favor.

They make it past them without another incident or exclamation from the fans. When they were a good block away from them and closer to Usagi's work, she clenched her broach and leaned against a wall. She was physically no real worse for wear, her clothes were a bit torn and snipped here and there, but she was without any other physical harm.

She held Haruka's hand and closed her eyes.

"Thank you," she said softly. "I know... I know it's just... hair... but it's..." it was her connection to her mother Selene. She didn't want to change it, she was everyone's bun head, muffin head, odango, and everything else they called her. She looked up to Haruka.

"I'm sorry... I've probably made you late for work."
