>>19520087>Paule's right. While I may not appreciate her leaving out the fact she wanted to get us all to talk, she had good intentions. It's both of our fault, Carmody, things ended up this way. And I said some hurtful things too, so I'm sorry.Kanako's ice cream was mostly melted, which she set down in a bunch of napkins, before looking to Paule.
>You're right, I did mess up with Nika. I thought she could change, but she never pretended to be my friend like Priscilla is with Carmody. She always told me we weren't friends. But that is a mistake I won't be making again, and I hope you don't either Carmody.Kanako looked at Carmody, with a slight expression of regret on her face, before turning back to Paule.
>That...hurts Paule. I've done nothing to the Dojo...but I have to stop the Divine Angels. And the Widowmaker Society. The former easily tore us apart, the latter is filled with scum. I'm sorry, but the Dojo is too weak to stop them, no matter how many good people are there. I need something stronger. I need something...Her voice trailed off. She didn't want to show her hand too soon. Paule may come around, but Carmody was clearly out of the question.
>Regardless, I forgive you Carmody. I understand a lot better now, and it seems you understand what I was doing better now too. But you know my intentions now and if you're going to get in my way, it is inevitable we're going to fight again. Now that I'm no longer fighting for my country, I'm going to fight for what is right. My way. Paule's absolutely right about the Divine Angels. She's right about Priscilla. And...she's right about us being terrible friends.Kanako looked at Carmody, with a slightly disappointed look on her face. While she was glad she no longer had to lie, sometimes being honest could be just as painful.
>...Tell Sola I'm sorry too.
