>after the evenings events Amy decides to talk a long walk though downtown Spaghettitown to try and clear her head>it's raining, only slightly, but there's a little humidity in the air, almost perfect>she strolls through the crowds of people, unnoticed>many are gathered around shop windows watching the highlights of the night's matches>she steps into a shop doorway and anxiously checks her phone>nothing"Spare change?" a voice asks, then a chuckle
>Amy looks to her right and sees an old man with his hand outstretched, a trembling emaciated dog sheltering between his legs"Hey Barry, yeah I've got something for you guys here, one sec."
>she reaches into her backpack and hands the old man two sandwiches and two sachets of dog food>the man nods in approval and continues walking[internally] "I just can't do enough for these people, there's too many, it's overwhelming."
>a vibration in her pocket>Amy excitedly pulls her phone out of her pocket then frowns[internally] "Oh, it's just a Tweetstagram notification... from Ranger Rabbit, these always cheer me up"
>>9741165>>9741201>>9741267>the phone slips out of her hand and hits the damp tarmac face down, slightly cracking the screen[internally] "Why? Why would she do this to me?"
>she scoops the phone up off the ground and tries to clean it on her shirt[internally] "Skelly and Keron know I couldn't possibly have attacked MM, not that they'd defend me now. Ash too, although I'm not sure if even she'd stand up for me after this."
>Amy walks on into the night wondering how things ended up this way>after several hours she finds herself back on Ash Romero's street>>9746566>Amy notices Ash's car in the driveway and she feels her heart sink as she sees the figure of Ash standing in the doorway, the light behind her projecting a long terrible shadow out into the street>as she gets closer she can feel Ash's eyes burning a hole into her chest[internally] "Let's just get this over with quickly."
