>>19514379Paule mirrored the tears that Carmody cried. For a different reason. She came here naively thinking that by now Carmody would have realized how truly evil Priscilla was. She found herself against an argument she hadn't pre-planned for. Sure, Carmody's justification was based on kindness, but she didn't know the reality as Paule thought she knew:
>Carmody, I've already made your mistake.>I trusted Zunigoth and Dia Mond.>I opened my heart to them and I was as nice as I could. And both of them were mean to me. >Meanies will always be meanies!>This is not about mistakes. When someone makes a mistake they apologize and try to make amends. Like you have done. That's what good people do!>Priscilla is still a meanie. She won't apologize to the winter village.>She won't apologize for anything she did to coach, or to Holly, or to the old Stellar Stars, or Nika, or so many people.>She will not end the contract with the dojo.>She always wants to have the upper hand.>Don't you remember your match? You tied with her. And you were standing.>If she was a good woman she would given you a regular one-on-one match.>But she didn't. It was a submission match. Because she knows that is what she is good at.>She screwed you.>And she will keep screwing you.Paule pointed at Kanako.
>Look at Kanako, she said the same things about Nika.>That Nika really could be saved!>And look at her now!>Nika will always be a meanie!>The same as Priscilla!Then she punched the table out of frustration at what she felt was an accusation from Carmody:
>And what I've done is not the same. I brought you here because I'm trying to fix everything. I came back and you were fighting. And that really HURTS Carmody.>You both are my best friends.>And you are making me choose between you both.>How is that fair?>What did I do to deserve this?
