002nd saving smile [voice]

[selfdoubt]

[The journals will be graced by a familiar, soft voice that was quiet for a while.]

I... see that I am back in this place once more. [The voice sounds resigned yet concealed by an otherwise neutral tone. Hinata's really not too happy to be back.] I suppose that the others are still here, then?

[There's a pause as she begins recalling her memories. It takes some time since these memories are still a bit hazy.] Kiba-kun, Shikamaru-kun...? Tenten-san, Sakura-san...

[She trails off because the next name she's going to say is being held back by this lump in her throat.]

... Naruto-kun? Are all of you still here? [Before she waits for a response, Hinata is already on the move.] I- I will be heading back to my apartment. I will see you all, then. Please be well.

[And the voice transmission cuts.]

[Aang has some trouble believing this - he hasn't dealt so much with people lacking self-confidence, and maybe he's also unconsciously associating her with Toph due to faint physical resemblances.] Really? I guess I can't tell because I've never seen you in action! But if you beat your enemies, then you have to be pretty strong.

[She only gives a soft smile to that.]

I really just try my best.

I- I suppose that's true.
