>>19514379>>19518303Kanako was disappointed, but not surprised at Paule's response. Unfortunately she was soft and that was part of the reason she was likeable, but it was clear to her after the last few months that wrestling was not for the soft. Paule would have to learn this the hard way, just as Kanako had.
>Oh, désolé d'avoir essayé d'aider.Kanako said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. She instantly regretted it however.
>...I'm sorry that was mean. You're right, sorry for trying to be manipulative, Carmody.Kanako quickly added, her eyes falling to the ice cream in her hands. It was starting to melt. The smile faded from her face, to a neutral expression. She listened quietly as Carmody spoke, her face not changing, even as the other two women teared up. She'd been far too emotional up to this point, she wasn't going to make the same mistake. As Carmody mentioned her relationship with Colby, Kanako couldn't help but think about Kasumi. However she brushed that thought aside, that bridge was well and truly burnt.
Carmody's cozying up to Priscilla made a lot more sense; this was partially Kanako's fault. Carmody wouldn't have gone there if Kanako hadn't rescued Nika. But she still chose to associate with Priscilla. Kanako felt her anger start to rise as she spoke of Ash, but kept it under control this time. Did she seriously think it was unfair for Ash to jump, or attempt to, Priscilla after the match? Just after she attacked Kanako post match? No no, don't let it get to you. Stay calm Kanako.
