>>10627355>[Sola Fire can’t help but think to herself, this doesn’t feel right. Changing anything about herself just to fight Nika, someone who lost who she was, feels wrong. But if Violet can help her at all, it’s worth a shot.]“When Nika appeared, I was so happy but... I know what you mean. I know the Angels changed her. Or, Priscilla changed her. But what she did was... that is not the Nika I remember.”
>[Sola doesn’t pick up on whatever Violet is hinting at, but she ponders Violet’s question.]“Well, Beaver was there and she didn’t help. I don’t know what power Nika has over Beaver, but... I don’t know if you could have stopped her anyway. It would have saved me some money on my dentistry bills.”
>[ A poor attempt at humour. Sola is so embarrassed.]
