>[Sola takes a step back. Had Nika and Amy planned this? This isn't NIka. Was Amy meeting Sola at the beach not the happy accident Sola thought? She picks up her jacket, and puts it back on. The metaphor of stepping over it to rescue Nika clearly lost on the... thing in front of her. This isn’t Nika. Sola turns to Beaver, unsure what she is rummaging through her bag to find. Sola turns back and takes a deep breath. She furrows her brow. This isn’t Nika. The dam bursts]:"'Too passive'? 'A bit of fun'? I’ve been nearly getting myself killed to just get a chance to *talk to you*. After the beatings I took from Warhorse, and Cassie and Nikki Kade? After all I tried to do for Amy to stop her going down the same path you did? You dare tell me I’m being too passive? My career was almost RUINED due to the time I spent with doctors for trying to help you. People still laugh at me and call me names. Say I’ll never go anywhere in this business ‘except to the hospital’. And that was for you. You. *You* think I’m being too passive? After everything I did to try and save you from that place -- that place you went to and stayed at WILLINGLY?”
>[Sola shoves Nika backwards with both hands. No, this isn’t Nika. Tears are pouring down Sola’s face. But they are not tears of sadness: this is... something else.]
