[There's a very brief moment when Ayumu can only stare in horror. She... Was that her? She could justify the others: she just hugged Maria too hard, she didn't mean to do that. She tripped, she didn't mean to hurt Alice. But she drove that knife straight into Haruhi. Didn't she?
No, Ayumu did nothing, the brain reminds her carefully. Osaka did that. And Osaka is just looking out for Ayumu. Her friends didn't really care anyway, Osaka tried to explain. They were holding her back. Laughing at her and her adorable quirks. Why help her get it together when it was so much funnier to watch her suffer? They had to be stopped.
So Ayumu hid while Osaka continued to keep things moving, exactly the way they should be. Good. It was safer there. Better for Ayumu to keep her away from these monsters.
Osaka struggled against the knife, attempting to pull it out to no avail. Dammit. Ruining Ayumu's life to the end. Jerk.]
