>[Sola remembers the first time that she and Amy crossed paths.]Amy was so very different back then; "The Waitress", she called herself. Bright orange shorts, and that silly eyepatch. Sola had never asked about it at the time -- unlike Kanako, it didn't seem so... unbelievable. Ironic, perhaps, that Amy's was a fake after all. Sola can't help but wonder how much of that early persona was just that: a persona put on to worm her way into false friendships. Sola had warned Amy directly at the time, to stay away from the Kade sisters... and Nika... and Priscilla. And look how that had turned out. For all of those people.
At the same time, Sola was about to face off with Mare Equine. The same Mare Equine who she can hear is now here, at the Dojo. But Mare was also very different at that point. Ironic that it would be Mare who would then be Sola's partner against Amy and Colby Jefferson. Colby, the... lover? Of Amy Flame. Colby, the sister of Carmody, who Sola is currently... In fact, of the three of Amy, Mare and Sola, only Sola is the same as she was so many months ago. The only one to never fight for a championship, still at the Dojo, still waiting for that big break...
. . . "Amy, why are you here?"
