“This is the last time I channel my mother’s debating skills…” Nariko doesn’t like the result of her callousness.
“Yu Yan, help us out!” You call up the smug hobo to the rescue. You feel like they won’t open up to you anymore, so you need someone new on the scene. “We need you to calm them down!”
“Appease these huge babies, you say?” Yu Yan approaches the group properly instead of watching from afar. “Let me evaluate the situation…” The smug one begins inspecting the duo.
“<span class="mu-i">Babies?! How dare you call us babies?! Don’t you understand how important this is?!!</span>” Ponytail is really hurt. “<span class="mu-i">It’s OUR lives!</span>”
“<span class="mu-i">W-We won’t be infantilized by you people…!</span>” Bangs isn’t laughing anymore. “<span class="mu-i">Our problems are serious. Beyond the comprehension of individuals who nobody expects anything out of them!</span>”
“<span class="mu-i">You CANNOT understand the pressure we feel…! We have to fight for everything we have!</span>” Ponytail continues crying out.
“<span class="mu-i">Our status, our place in the world, our parent’s love… We had nothing!</span>” Bangs acts so hurt.
“<span class="mu-i">And we still don’t have anything…</span>” Ponytail stares at her empty hands.
“<span class="mu-i">And we never will…</span>” Everything looks bleak to Bangs.
“But you have one another, right?” You bring some wholesome thinking into this. They’re friends! That’s real!
“<span class="mu-i">Phoebe wouldn’t think twice before stabbing me in the back, she’s too smart for sentimentalities…</span>” Bangs throws her friend under the bus.
“<span class="mu-i">Eloise is a calculating heartless genius, she’d do what’s best for her interests above all…</span>” Ponytail manages to drive the bus back into her friend. At least they hold each other in some twisted high regard?
“And you two are fine with the other thinking that?” You don’t think this is healthy.
“<span class="mu-i">Obviously, it shows how ambitious you are!</span>” Ponytail Phoebe doesn’t see the problem.
“Heh, and how intelligent! I’d think less of Phoebe if she wasn’t planning on using me as another stepping stone on her path.” Bangs Eloise smirks amidst the tears. “<span class="mu-i">But…</span>” Eloise looks down.
“<span class="mu-i">But…</span>” Phoebe looks down as well.
“<span class="mu-i">W-What’s the point!? We can’t do this!!!</span>” They scream together! Now they’re wishing for their parents’ love as the tears go down.
“And with that I know how to deal with these crybabies!” Yu Yan stops taking notes. “That one has daddy abandonment issues, and the other one can't get her tiger mom’s approval. Add being alone on the holidays and what Nariko said to the mix, and it’s been a brutal week for their mental health.” Yu Yan reads from her phone. “Now first, have some of these…” Yu Yan hands some tissues to the girls.
