The ball seems to be closer and yet farther every day. Jane has not gone looking for the Bar but she's found it today as she's considering something she wrote a while ago.

Her thoughts keep straying to Mister Lefroy but he has returned to London and may not come back for the ball.

It is best to move on and do as her mother would wish even though she doesn't wish to. In the end, it takes her rather longer to find a seat as her thoughts are not truly in Milliways.

"Okay, well how about I hang around nearby and if you want me call me back?" Guppy offers. He can't force treatment on her.

"Just...just stop," Nori's getting increasingly jumpy with these people constantly around her asking her questions. "I'm okay, it's not...it's not gonna hurt me. 'S happened before, that...it's just what happens."

"If that is what you wish."

Jane would like to do more but she can't if Noriko doesn't wish her to so she stands up to create some space.

"Okay, call me if you want me." Guppy says, putting his hands up, getting over and going to sit nearby.

Noriko stays on the floor, curled into herself because there's just a little too much information going in. Her brain still hasn't entirely calmed, and neither has the rest of her, and she doesn't want to be touched or prodded, least of all put in a hospital.

"I just...wanna sit."

"Then I'll leave you with this pillow and blanket, but do find me if I can do anything for you."

Jane dislikes this but she respects Noriko's wish to be left alone so she gathers her papers and tea and let's Noriko have the space near the table to herself.

Nori nods distantly, like she hadn't really heard Jane, though she'd been paying attention to it.

It just all around sucks that she can't seem to not hurt people, and there's the forced detox to deal with--she's bound, she can't get the drugs she needs from the bar or, as far as she knows, anyone in it. (Clearly she hasn't meet Ramon yet.)
