“Honey, cuts on your arms can leave scars, and people will see them when you play.” Tamiko stared through her, into space. “She was at Grunfeld’s, and Mr. Grunfeld died.” Ellen nodded nervously. “Yes, it happened suddenly. So sad.” “Romantic…” “Tamiko?” The girl rubbed her arms, and more blood soaked through the sleeves. “Shizuka Satomi has a new student. And she’s already killed for her.”
What is the point of this paragraph? Is she cutting herself to self harm? She mentions praying to anyone and being willing to do anything, so is she maybe doing a blood sacrifice? The characters and interactions are so brief and undeveloped its confusing and frustrating.
