"Well... I don't have a library pass, Miss," Jun stated simply. "Whereas you and yours, to my knowledge, have never been completely abandoned- I suppose I'm digressing. My apologies for disturbing you with my questions, Miss." He went back to his art, while Miroru stayed focused on the fuinjutsu Yaki was working on, listening intently to what she was willing to share about herself.
"Mmm... I feel like we're defining that word differently, aren't we?" Miroru wondered. "All things terminate- but disposable is a measure of value, not permanency, isn't it? You don't call something disposable because it'll die or rot eventually, you call something disposable when you can afford to spend it or discard it without undue impact."
"I know what it's like to feel disposable." Miroru murmured quietly. "I don't think I was ever officially discarded, but. It's just how clans are. You have some folx that win the lottery. Kids with magic eyes, or the right chakra natures, or stand-out talents. Nobody thinks "we have this limited amount of time and resources- we should invest in the average kids to help them be even better."" She shakes her head. "It's a quiet sort of discarded. Where everyone's attention and efforts feed into the Special Ones- and everyone else gets smiles and headpats and a "How was your day at academy." No expectations, no support, just... nothing." She looked Yaki over and offered quietly, "Besides. You don't look normal, but you look awesome. And I like that you look unique. I think you like looking different, too- or you'd just Henge to look how you wanted, wouldn't you? You're good at fixing things you don't like. Like snake bullies. Or knowledge gaps!"
She hugged her knees a bit. "I don't think it'd be much better to be indispensable, though. Then instead of nobody caring how you turn out, everyone cares- and suddenly you're too valuable to risk. And other people start getting labeled disposable compared to you."
The redhead looked at the still steaming bucket. "It looks like you're trying to make a custom Katon seal. Something specialized not to burn you when it ignites. Is that right?"
"Just don't give up on me! We can figure this out!"
