>>19421353Kanako sniffles as Ash sits on the bed, looking up partially confused. She pushes back her hair behind her left ear, Ash's voice becoming difficult to hear. Carmody and Sola weren't the bad guys? Kanako had lived her adult life taking out degenerate pieces of filth. They had to be the same. Her ego wouldn't allow otherwise.
>I...I...Kanako started to tear up again before quickly wiping the tears.
>...I...I can't accept people leeching off the Divine Angels. I can't accept people taking the shortcut, I can't accept people thinking they can stomp all over others just because they're *DIVINE*.Kanako said loudly, pounding her fists against her bed.
>I'M TIRED OF IT! AND CARMODY AND SOLA ARE OKAY WITH THAT?!Kanako shouted, tears in her eyes again.
>NO, I'M NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THAT! Kanako realized she was shouting, before calming down. She started to tear up again as Ash praised her. But it wasn't enough.
> ...Thank you. I-I tried...Kanako broke out into tears again, then stopped and wiped them away.
>I...I...Kanako looked at her open palm. She clenched it into a fist.
>I...I'm gonna get that spot. I have nothing left. I swear. Kanako clenched her fists tight. She wasn't sure what she had to do, but she *will* get there.
>I'm gonna prove Carmody wrong. I'm gonna prove EVERYBODY wrong. I promise.>I'm done with tears. I'm done with bullcrap. Maybe it's just spite. Maybe it's just anger, but I'm not letting those two PARASITES hold me or the dojo back.Kanako proclaimed, to an audience of one. She looked at Ash and teared up again.
>...Sorry.Kanako said, quickly wiping away tears.
