You were there. [It's a short, subtle way of saying, "You saw what happened when I wasn't close enough to do anything. You saw failure. You saw others get hurt." Any of her coping mechanisms will be loud and wanton destruction, so instead, she's just surly, viciously moody, and ready to bite. Though she says very little, her unhappiness is real...someone could just as easily think she doesn't care at all.
Ninety-Nine is a ball of tensed muscle, obvious to anyone touching her scarred skin. The ragged tears dug into the skin of her abdomen and upper leg from dealing with jagged metal will join those scars soon enough, but at least they're being cared for now. She noticed when they first met - though, for obvious reasons, she was in no state to comment on it - that Reiju felt naturally cool in a way that many human beings do not. It's a little seething to have her dealing with her feverish body now.]
I'm hungry, [Ninety-Nine finally admits.] I used a lot of my strength in the subway.
