>"And I'm supposed to live and let live, I guess. I'm supposed to say, 'hey, Nika's had it rough, and yeah she's never showed any signs she's sorry, or tried to repent, or make good, or even apologize, for the awful shit she's done, but let's give her a chance to stab me in the back too!' And I even tried to find out what was going on, that you weren't telling me. I TRIED, Kanako, which is more than you did. More than anyone else did. You teamed with someone who hurt me and Sola, then you LIED about it, and then I STILL stuck my neck out for you!">"And yet, somehow I'm the bad guy.">"Because evidently, breathing the same air as Priscilla Divine a couple times is a worse sin than directly aligning yourself with someone who put not one but TWO of your Dojo sisters in the hospital and shows no remorse about it this day. Because I went back to the Dojo, and let me tell you, nobody was asking me to leave, but I got the message loud and clear. Hell, Kanako, you might as well start bringing Nika around. Get that redemption story going. She'd be more welcome there than I felt, even when I wasn't looking back over my shoulder for you. Or Nika."Carmody pauses, blinks, and visibly swallows before she goes back to speaking.
>"Go ahead, you won't have to worry about running into me there.">"That's because I won't be back to the Dojo. You took that from me, Kanako. My friends, my support structure, my home away from home..... it's not mine anymore."
