>>9749044>[Having left the hospital, with thoughts of Priscilla, Cassie Kade and everything in between on her mind, Sola Fire hears yelling and goes to investigate. It's Amy and Holly, in the middle of some sort of argument? They're from the class younger than she and Nika were, but it seems to be a pattern forming in the Dojo. They stop arguing as she approaches, sussing her out. Sola's face is unclear, somewhere between sadness and anger, and her words are slightly slurred]:"Amy Flame! Holly Hope-Again! Cut this shit out. You are probably the two brightesht to come out of the Dojo, and I include myshelf in that. Nika and I were - we were meant to be the champions! We were as close as friendsh could be, and she got seduced by - hell, by whatever it is Priscilla does to people in that stupid mansion. I let her get seduced -- I should have helped her -- and now she's not even --"
"Being at the Dojo is hard work. In my time, I saw a dozen make one appearance and then never come back. I know you've sheen the same. If you want people to take you both seriously, you need to act like it. I don't know if you're enemies, beshties, lovers or fated rivals to battle until the end of the world. But I know you two are not just good -- you're bloody great. So either fight each other for honour, or team up and deshtroy anyone who gets in your way -- or fuck each other right now. I don't know! But there is something between you two. You two are clearly close, and if you don't stop this petty bullshit, you're gonna wake up one morning and put on your yellow coat and stand in the ring and realise you're all by yourself. I don't want you to lose each other forever. You can't."
>[Sola picks up a rock and lobs it into the river, not even attempting to make it skip, before walking off. She stumbles on a rock and screams, more from frustration than pain, but doesn't say anything else to the two Dojo girls.]
