Minako would've just slapped her arm and flipped them the bird if she'd been there. Why couldn't she be more like Minako?

Mrs. Smith had calmed her down and promised Hitomi that she didn't have to come with them to church at all anymore if she wasn't comfortable, and so now she had Sunday mornings free to herself.

Weird. But nice.
