Coco starts tut-tuting in Nikki’s head as K-Chan then hugs her, looks at her with that strange desperate look in her eyes, then hurries over to a desk where she tries to hide Obsidian Rush in a bag.
>Look at that. Your friend is a slave to our sister’s drug. We won’t have much of a tag team with her in that state.Nikki sighs. Coco is right. But feeling a sense of responsibility for another person and concern over their actions was still foreign to her. Indeed, she had often been on the other end of that particular dynamic.

Nikki approaches K-Chan from behind, and slaps the bag of Rush out of her hand. Then she wraps her arms around her, holding her in a hug. “I’m sorry I was gone. But I’m here now, ok?”
She turns K-Chan around, and looks her in the eyes. “But that doesn’t change the fact that you needed me, and I was, like you said, gone. I can’t go back and make that right. But I will make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
