>[Sola is smiling wide, but can see Kanako is distracted as she walks over to get some more water. Sola can’t help but think her eye patch used to be on the other side. It would be impolite to say something surely.]Come to think of it, Sola once again can’t help but notice just how different everyone around here looks. All that time in Japan has rubbed off on Ash, and she looks like something out of a Japanese animated movie. Paule meanwhile has the look of a western cartoon with her big, expressive eyes. Which is kind of funny, since she’s a French-Canadian. Unsurprisingly, Carmody is like something out of a magazine centrefold – uh, but, like, a classy one. She’s really nice to look at. And Sola is just Sola. She never feels like she fits in one style, you know?
>>18828723After a quick pep talk from Carmody, Sola goes back to her drills. She refuses to let Karna catch her off guard with a simple mistake. And Sola know she has to beat Karna twice. The time flies by, for once, and before she knows it, training is done for the day. All the sweat and water had had a surprisingly decent effect on decreasing Sola’s hangover. But she won’t be drinking any punch for a while.
In the locker room, she Sola showers and gets changed, after feeling the uncommon urge to take a quick selfie. It’s not like her, but every now and then she thinks it might be nice to have photos of herself looking good. Is that weird? She puts her yellow jacket back on, noting how it doesn’t quite fit right sometimes. Post-workout muscle pain, maybe. Back in the gym, she thanks Ash and apologises again for being such a jerk, before heading back to the front area, where she bums around on her phone for a bit, waiting to see if anyone is around.
