<Setsuna> All I'm saying is that I think it best to keep it all under wraps for a while longer. Why do we always have to argue about it?
<Ari> *is sitting on the couch, watching Setsuna pace back and fourth in front of her* And what if he comes back? What if he gets here when no one else is around? How will anyone be able to help you? Kazu will kill us! He'll probably do worse to you!
<Setsuna> *flinches as the name* Don't shorten it… I keep telling you… he hated it.
<Ari> Sorry… I just don't want to see you getting hurt. I think Marik suspects something anyway. You might as well just tell everyone and have done with it.
<Setsuna> I… told Seth. Rather, Liana did… but he is supposed to keep it to himself… Not even Seto knows.
<Ari> *sighs* At least you told someone else. Maybe Seth can help me convince you to tell the others.
<Setsuna> Kazuhiko won't come back until he's strong enough… He may never be. You forget that as he grows, so do we all.
<Ari> He was stronger then us to begin with, Setsuna. If you just tell everyone else, then we can all fight him. It's inevitable that he returns, Setsuna. He has to. We're all destined to be together: all the Items, and all the spirits.
<Setsuna> You sound like you've been talking to Ryou… or at least listening in on Kibira's conversations.
<Ari> *blushes* I may have listened a little…
<Setsuna> *gets a sly look, flopping onto the couch next to her* Are we starting to change our minds too? Hmmmm? *pokes her in the side*
<Ari> Ow! No! I- I- I- … I just…I…
<Setsuna> Uuuuh huh! You're falling for Bakura, aren't you? Tell me!!
<Ari> NO! I'm not!! I love Marik…
<Setsuna> You don't sound too confident in that. Come on, Isis is a goddess of love… I can tell!
<Ari> Since when have you been supportive of the gods? *raises an eyebrow* What have you been up to?
<Setsuna> Alright… so you caught me… I've been poking around in everyone's mind to see how strong the connections with the gods are… Some of us are stronger than others. Ryou and Seth are the strongest so far, but Isis is getting up there. I think since we found them, they're feeding off our power, so it makes sense.
<Ari> Now that's something you should talk with everyone with… Anubis isn't exactly a little puppy dog wagging his tail. He's more like a vicious attack dog with a spiky necklace.
<Setsuna> *raising an eyebrow* And you would know from experience.
<Ari> O.o Not me… Kibira.
<Setsuna> Yeah, you like Baku all right.
<Ari> NO!!! *throws a pillow at her*
<Setsuna> Mnph!! *tosses the pillow back at her* If I'm wrong, then why are you turning redder than an apple?
<Ari> *blushes even more* I'm not!!!
<Setsuna> Riiiiiiight. You better figure yourself out girl, we don't want another huge blow up like when Kibira decided to change her mind…
*Meanwhile, the boys are preparing to go to Seth's house*
<Ryou> *throwing on a shirt* We've got practice in 20 minutes, Bakura! Did you HAVE to keep studying??
<*Bakura*> FYI, there's a test tomorrow! You never let me take notes! I need to study!
<Ryou> I'll take the test tomorrow, sheesh! Can I help it when Ari sits right in front of me?
<*Bakura*> =_='' Stupid. You'll fail the test too!
<Ryou> Jealous little boy. Maybe I'll let you have fun with her one of these days. You need to live a little.
<*Bakura*> O.o WHAAAT??? Ari is Marik's girl! You think I wanna get killed by some crazed Egyptian??
<Ryou> Maybe Ari likes you? What would you do then?
<*Bakura*> Ari doesn't like me. She never sees me. No one ever does. =_='
<Ryou> *laughs* I caught her listening in on some conversations before… I think she's interested, at the least.
<*Bakura*> Maybe she likes dogs.
<Ryou> =_=' Not funny.
<*Bakura*> We're going to be late.
<Ryou> BECAUSE OF YOU!!!! I'd hit you upside the head, but I'm in control of it at the moment so it'd only hurt me! *stomps out the door, heading for Seto's house, ignoring Bakura's laughter in his head*
*Meanwhile*
<Yami> *is trying to get ready while on the phone with Crystal* Ugh… stupid belt…
<Crystal> What are you doing?
<Yami> Oh… I have to leave soon. It's hard to put on a belt with one hand. *laughs*
<Crystal> Where are you going?
<Yami> Oh… uh… I'm just meeting the guys over at Seto's house. We figured we could… uh… discuss cards and… guy stuff like that.
<Crystal> *raises an eyebrow at the phone* Guy stuff like that? Are you not telling me something?
<Yami> No! No of course not! It's just… a… well it's a surprise. Sorta… *sweatdrop*
<Crystal> Uh huh… well I'll let you go then… I have to study for that test tomorrow anyway.
<Yami> Okay… I love you.
<Crystal> *blushes* I love you too. Bye bye.
<Yami> Bye *hangs up* *sigh* Crystal is gonna kill me for not telling her something… and the guys will kill me because I'll end up telling her. *sweatdrop* *looks at the clock* I'M GONNA BE LATE!!! *runs out the door*
*Meanwhile, at Seto's*
<Marik> *is messing around with a percussion beat on the keyboard in the practice room* Where are they?
<Seth> *rolls his eyes* Late, as usual. *tunes his bass idly, waiting for there to be a knock on the door*
<Marik> Seth, has Set ever taken over your body? I know you said you'd talked to him… but… has he actually taken over yet?
<Seth> I don't… think so. He's only ever talked to me in my mind. That's not to say he took over and didn't let me remember though. Why? Has Horus done something?
<Marik> No… not really… but I was doing some research… Horus and Set were arch rivals. Set wanted the throne of Osiris, which was being ruled by Horus after Osiris became the king of the dead. I just want to make sure you're not going to try killing me one of these days.
<Seth> *laughs* I think you're safe. The one I'd worry about is Anubis. Besides, there are hundreds of different beliefs of the Egyptians… you should know that not all of them are true.
<Marik> Seth, the rivalry between Osiris and Set is the same no matter what. The outcome is what changed.
<Seth> But only one is true, and Set isn't jumping at the chance to kill you now, so I wouldn't worry. We're all alone in a virtually soundproof room. If he wanted to kill you, he would have tried already.
<Marik> True… sorry… I just feel so out of the loop. I mean, Taireru is a crazed lunatic, and I'm the only one with only a kage and hikari. The only person possibly worse than me is Anubis, and he has only made one appearance. Taireru makes a mess of things every time he comes out.
<Seth> Not every time. He is in the band... *is about to continue when Mokuba throws the door open*
<Mokuba> They're here, Seto!! *moves out of the way so Ryou and Yami can come in*
<Ryou> Sorry about the lateness. The hikari wouldn't let me get ready. *anger mark*
<Yami> I was… uh… on the phone. *sweatdrop*
<Seth> *rolls his eyes* Come on, let's get going.
<Mokuba> Can I stay and listen?
<Seth> Mokuba, I need you to be listening for visitors or the phone… we can't hear anything in here when we're playing.
<Mokuba> … *sigh* Okay… I'll see you later than, Seto. *closes the door as he leaves*
<Yami> You should be nicer to him.
<Seth> What? I was serious. What if someone's looking for us?
<Ryou> Riiight… *mounts his drum stool* Let's play! *twirls his drumsticks a few times before slamming out a few progressions*
<Yami> *takes his guitar and joins in*
*Meanwhile, back at Setsuna's*
<Ari> I wonder what the guys are up to?
<Setsuna> Seto said they were all over at his house today. Wouldn't tell me why. Again.
<Ari> We never did find out what they were up to last time. Let's give them a call and see if we catch them off guard! *giggles*
<Setsuna> I second that! *grabs her phone, punching in Seto's number*
<Mokuba> *picks up on the other end* Kaiba residence, this is Mokuba.
<Setsuna> Hello Mokuba! It's Setsuna!
<Mokuba> O.o Oh, hi Setsuna. Seto's… uh… not available at the moment.
<Setsuna> What are they up to? Do you know?
<Mokuba> Uh… they won't tell me?
<Setsuna> You don't sound too sure… *grins at Ari*
<Ari> What's he say??
<Setsuna> *ignoring her and talking to Mokuba* Will you tell me what you do know? You're a smart boy, I'm sure you know something…
<Mokuba> I'm not supposed to tell you guys…
<Setsuna> It's okay, it'll be our little secret.
<Seto> *grabbing the phone from Mokuba* Setsuna, don't try to sweet-talk my brother.
<Setsuna> O.o *nearly drops the phone* Uh… Seto! I was just… calling… to see if you were okay! I mean, most of the time when you guys get together something happens…
<Ari> *is fighting back laughter*
<Seto> We're fine, Setsuna. You want to know what we're up to? Come over to the house. Bring Ari too, I can hear her laughing in the background.
<Setsuna> O.o Okay… we'll be over in a few.
<Seto> See you then… *hangs up* Prepare, boys. We're going to give those two a show.
<Taireru> Ooo… what kind of show? *licks his lips*
<Yami> Ew. Not that kind.
<Ryou> *snort* Are we gonna tell them, or string them along?
<Seth> *taking over again* Lemme think about that one for a while…
*Over at Setsuna's*
<Ari> We're going over there?
<Setsuna> Yeah, let's go.
<Ari> Are we sure this isn't some ploy?
<Setsuna> Uh… it probably is… but it'll be fun either way!
<Ari> Amen to that!
<Setsuna> And you can confess your love for Bakura.
<Ari> NO!!!! *bash bash*
<Setsuna> Muwahahaha!!! *runs out the door and down the street towards Seto's, trying to stay out of reach of Ari*
<Ari> *when they arrive* Don't you even try saying anything like that around Marik. He'll freak.
<Setsuna> *knocking on the door* Oh come on, you think I'd be that classless?
<Yami> *opens the door* Hello girls. You've come at just the right time. Everyone else is waiting.
<Setsuna> *raises an eyebrow* What are you doing answering Seto's door?
<Yami> *falters his act* Uh… well… I uh… that is…
<Ari> Whatever, just do what they told you to and get it over with.
<Yami> *sweatdrop* Follow me. *leads them inside and down a dark hallway, leading to the band room*
<Setsuna> I haven't been down this way yet I don't think. What's down here Yami?
<Yami> Don't ask questions… just follow.
<Ari> Riiiight. They're loopy.
<Setsuna> I have a bad feeling about this.
<Yami> *stops in front of the door, opening it* Ladies first, of course.
<Setsuna> *reluctantly steps into the room, which is pitch black, flinching with Ari when Yami lets the door slam behind them*
<Ari> *shivers* Why is it so dark? What's going on you guys?
<Setsuna> *feels someone pass their hand over her back* What the?! Stop it!
<Ari> *feels a hand on her face* This isn't funny you guys! Turn on the lights!
*Suddenly, music starts to float through the room; a tune neither girls have heard before*
<Setsuna> Is that supposed to be ghost music?
<Ari> *listens* Setsuna, is that Seth singing? *flinches as the lights flicker on*
<Setsuna> *eyes widen, seeing the band playing and Seth singing into a microphone* Oh my god!!!
<Ari> You guys have a band??
<Seth> *stops singing, the rest of the band cutting off* Yeah. This is the big secret. Surprised?
<Setsuna> *runs up and hugs him* You sound like a god when you sing… Oh. My. God.
<Seth> O.o Thanks… I just hope that doesn't mean Set is the one singing and I don't know it.
<Ari> *starts pushing keys on Taireru's keyboard* I never knew you played music…
<Taireru> *smiles, pulling her close to him* It was supposed to be a surprise… I couldn't tell you.
<Ryou> *coughs* Guys, at least save it for later. We need to practice that new song.
<Seth> *pulling away from Setsuna* Yeah… come on Taireru, knock it off.
<Taireru> *is moving Ari's hands to play chopsticks* Sorry…
<Ari> Can we stay and listen?
<Seth> You don't think we'd bring you guys in here just to turn you away without hearing us?
<Setsuna> *pulls up a beanbag chair from the corner for her and Ari to sit in* Yes!! We'll be groupies!!
<Ari> *laughs as she sits on the chair*
*After the guys play through a few songs, they unplug and all get ready to leave*
<Setsuna> You guys are so good! Are you going to try playing anywhere?
<Seth> We're trying to get Club 666 to book us, but they haven't decided yet…
<Ryou> *throwing his drumsticks in a bag* we have to be careful no matter what though… It could get a little weird if all of a sudden someone realized that we look way different when we aren't singing… especially Taireru here.
<Taireru> *glares*
<Yami> No one ever seems to notice when we change though…
<Seth> I'm sure someone would notice after a while… and what if one of the gods decided to crash a party? We could hurt some innocent people…
<Taireru> *grins* More the merrier…
<Setsuna> Ugh *rolls her eyes* Think you could act at least halfway decent for once?
<Taireru> *sticks his tongue out at her* Be happy I'm not trying to ram the Shadow Rod down your throat. That's decent enough I think.
<Seth> *glares at him* Enough, Taireru.
<Ari> *sighs* Boys…
<Taireru> I'm sorry Ari… I wouldn't hurt anyone if it would make you feel bad…
<Ryou> *rolls his eyes* Are we sure I'm the dog? Tai-Tai is acting like a puppy.
<Taireru> *anger mark* I thought I told you not to call me that!
<Ryou> Tai-Tai!!! Tai-Tai!!!!
<Taireru> *chases him around the room a few times* I'm gonna knock your half-assed British block off!!!!
<Ryou> Help me!! A crazed Egyptian boy is gonna kill me! Hayelp!!!
<Ari> *glares at them both* CUT IT OUT!!! *flings the Seidan at the wall between them, halting both of them in their tracks* Grow up! Geeze!
<Taireru and Ryou> Sorry…
<Setsuna> *choking back laughter* Now if that wasn't amusing…
<Yami> *getting the rest of his stuff* Well I'm off… I'm gonna go check and see if Crystal wants some help studying… See you guys tomorrow!
<Ari> *smacks her forehead* I forgot about that test!!
<Ryou> Bakura was studying like a maniac for it. You could join us in the cramming if you wish.
<Taireru> *glares* I'll help her study.
<Ari> *almost too quickly* You don't go to our school, Taireru. *catches herself* I mean… Ryou lives closer to me anyway. I'll just uh… study with him for a while and then go home…
<Setsuna> *raises an eyebrow at her*
<Taireru> *frowns* Well if that's how you feel. *picks up his stuff and leaves, slamming the door behind him*
<Ari> *after he's left* I didn't mean it that way…
<Ryou> Oh don't bother with reasoning with him. He always takes stuff like that.
<Seth> And you would know?
<Ryou> *sweatdrop* Regretfully.
<Ari> *sigh* Now he's gonna be mad at me again. Kibira ruined our time before, now I've gone and said I'd rather study with Ryou.
<Ryou> Well you were right. Marik doesn't know our school's curriculum. Besides, you do live closer to me.
<Setsuna> Or maybe… *dodges Ari's attempt to bash her, laughing* Just kidding!
<Seth> *raises an eyebrow* I don't think I want to know.
<Ari> You don't! *glares at Setsuna*
<Ryou> Well I'm ready. Let's go.
<Ari> *follows him out, glaring at Setsuna the whole way*
<Setsuna> *grins* Have fun!!
<Seth> *after they leave* What was that about now?
<Setsuna> *shrug* I have my suspicions, that's all.
<Seth> What, Ari and Bakura? Isn't it obvious?
<Setsuna> To everyone but them, yeah. *helps Seth clean up the rest of the equipment*
<Seth> Setsuna… you know Liana told me about your brother, right?
<Setsuna> … Yeah. You haven't told Seto or Sesu, right?
<Seth> I haven't… but you should.
<Setsuna> *sighing* Why does everyone keep telling me to give up about my brother??
<Seth> Not everyone, just Ari and I.
<Setsuna> Well still… *flops down on the beanbag chair again* It's not exactly easy to tell an already high-strung group that there's someone ELSE out there even worse than the worst of us. Kazuhiko would make Taireru wet his pants, I'm sure.
<Seth> *gives her a sympathetic look, kneeling down in front of her, leaning over to kiss her forehead* But would he give in to all the kages? Taireru was what we feared in the time of the kages… so I don't think he could be all that bad. I personally think the gods are more to worry about than Kazuhiko…
<Setsuna> *looks into his eyes* You're probably right… but I can't tell everyone yet… soon. But not yet.
<Seth> Well soon is better than never… It's got to come out sooner or later… like all secrets… *gets an odd look in his eye*
<Setsuna> Seth are you okay? *catches a hint of violet appearing in his eyes* You're not…
<???> No, I'm not. What am I then?
<Setsuna> *eyes widen* S… Set! *tries to get up quickly, but Set grabs her, keeping her pinned on the chair*
<Set> *eyes go completely violet* I've been meaning to fully take over this boy's body… He resembles me so much… As do all of you. You all look so much like your gods and goddesses… *caresses her face, pulling her bangs to one side to look into her eyes* Daughter of Isis… of course you're are beautiful… *leans close to her, sniffing deeply* You even have her scent…
<Setsuna> *squirming* Get away from me!
<Set> Oh I think not… you're so vulnerable… so… mmm… How can I resist? *leans close again, letting his lips hover above hers for a moment before kissing her softly*
<Setsuna> *thinks: He feels like Seto… but… it's not him!*
<Set> *reading her mind* Of course it is! You're all yourselves… you are who you are partly because of the gods who possess you… do you honestly think the Items and your powers are random? Something you got by chance? No… no dear girl… *kisses her again* You were chosen… every one of you… Including your brother...
<Setsuna> *cringes* Do… do you know which god is in him?
<Set> *looks angry for a moment* Of course I know! He is the one who would love to kill me more than Horus or Osiris! Sobek… the protector of Isis… *smirks* Heh… he's miles away though… no one here to protect you now…
<Setsuna> *tries to pull away again, for a split second almost wishing Kazuhiko were there to get Set away* Please let me go… leave Seto alone…
<Set> *grins wickedly, leaning down to whisper in her ear* How about… no? *wraps his arms around her, starting to kiss her neck*
<Setsuna> *whimpers* Please… Seth I know you can hear me… fight him…
<Set> *pauses for a moment, getting a jolt in his head* Don't you even try, boy… This is my time for fun…
<Setsuna> *pushes against Set, trying to get him off as he goes back to kissing her neck and face* Please… Seth! You can fight him! I know it!!
<Set> *eyes flash* QUIET! *kisses her harshly to halt her talking*
<Setsuna> *thinks her pleas instead, hoping to reach Seth somehow*
<Set> *stops, leaning up to grab at his head* Stop! No! I have more a right to this body than you!
<Setsuna> That's it Seth, fight him!!
<Seth> *finally breaking through* NO! IT'S MY BODY! *stammers, breathing heavily for a moment before looking at Setsuna* I'm sorry… he just came out of nowhere…
<Setsuna> It's okay… *puts her arms around him* Set has to be insane…
<Seth> It wouldn't surprise me in the least…
*Meanwhile*
<Ari> *follows Ryou into his house* Aren't you going to let Bakura out? He is the one that needs to study…
<Ryou> *closes the door, giving her an odd look* Not until I ask you something. <Ari> *folds her arms, waiting*
<Ryou> *blows a breath of air up at his bangs* Do you love him?
<Ari> What? Who?
<Ryou> Do you love him? Marik I mean. Are you in love with him?
<Ari> *falters for a second* Of… Of course I do. He… he's my boyfriend. Why wouldn't I?
<Ryou> Say it.
<Ari> *starting to turn red from anger and embarrassment* Say what?
<Ryou> Say you love him. *steps closer to her* Say it and I'll leave you alone for your studying.
<Ari> I… Well I can't just say it!
<Ryou> Why not? I can say "I love Kibira" any time; because I do. Why can't you say you love Marik?
<Ari> Well I… *lets out an exasperated sigh* I don't have to say it to you!
<Ryou> *shrugs* Very well then. My point is proven.
<Ari> What? *looks worried now*
<Ryou> You don't.
<Ari> *glares* Don't tell me who I do and don't love. You've no right.
<Ryou> But it's obvious. And I'm not telling you who you do love. I'm just showing you that you don't love Marik. If you can't say it, than you don't believe it. And if you don't believe it, then you don't love him.
<Ari> I- … *looks down, defeated* I don't know what I think.
<Ryou> *smiles* Ari, I'm not trying to trick you. Everyone else can see that you're confused. You're just trying to deny it. It's okay to not know what you think.
<Ari> *glares at him* You still don't have the right to say stuff like that.
<Ryou> *laughs* I'm sorry.
<Ari> I'm going to guess you're not planning on studying. I might as well just let Kibira out then.
<Ryou> Wait! *goes to stop her but Kibira's already out* Damn…
<Kibira> *blinks* Well I never thought you'd be disappointed to see me, but okay…
<Ryou> *smiles* No… it's not that. I was trying to talk to Ari.
<Kibira> I could hear it. You better be careful. You don't want her keeping us apart…
<Ryou> I'm not worried about that… *takes her into his arms* I have a feeling the hikaris are falling for each other…
<Kibira> Gee, how could you tell? *laughs*
<Ryou> If those two get together we won't have to worry about it anymore… No more sharing… just… us.
<Kibira> You are forgetting that there are two other forms. We still have to "share" with them.
<Ryou> Yes well… that's not as annoying as sharing with another person entirely… *sits on the couch, pulling her down beside him*
<Kibira> Tell me about it =_='' You may have to deal with watching, but I have to deal with actually doing the sharing. Not only that, but Marik thinks I may change my mind back again. He keeps trying to "convince" me that he's better.
<Ryou> *strokes her hair* Don't worry about it. Once Ari and Bakura tell themselves the truth, we won't have to worry.
<Kibira> Have you thought about Marik's reaction? Don't you think he'll go a little batty? More so than normal?
<Ryou> No. I think he'll be so defeated he may just leave.
<Kibira> I hope so… I don't want him to try to hurt you… *snuggles up with him, resting her head on his chest*
<Ryou> *smirks* I have an idea.
<Kibira> *blink* What?
<Ryou> We should set the hikaris up.
<Kibira> What do you mean?
<Ryou> I don't know… put them in an awkward situation or something. See how they react.
<Kibira> Not only would they kill us, but that's just plain… brilliant! *laughs*
<Ryou> *grins, pushing her down onto the couch so he's on top of her* You'll have to change first… Bakura will just freak and leave the room.
<Kibira> *grins, kissing him quickly* Don't have too much fun with her… *reverts to Ari*
<Ryou> Ah, so you came back after all…
<Ari> WAGH! *pushes him away* Get off me!
<Ryou> *easily overpowering her* I think not. *kisses her softly, slowly turning into Bakura*
<Ari> Mnph! Mn…
<Bakura> *realizes what he's doing and gets up quickly, nearly falling off the couch* I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!!! I didn't mean!! *turns red*
<Ari> *sits up quickly as well, turning red as well* It's okay… it's not your fault… *puts a hand to her mouth, wondering what to think*
<Bakura> I'm really sorry… Ari I didn't mean to do that… he just… pushed me back out!
<Ari> I know, I know… Kibira did the same thing. They were setting us up. =_='' I'll be damned if I let her back out any time soon.
<Bakura> *still red* I… uh… Have some studying to do… *stands up*
<Ari> *grateful for a subject change* Yes. I should go too. It's getting late and all. *grabbing her purse from the floor* I'm sorry I couldn't help you. *leaves quickly, trying to hide her blush*
<Bakura> *falls back on the couch when she leaves* Ryou I swear to the god you serve, I'm going to kill you!!!
<*Ryou*> *is laughing his head off* That was priceless!!! And you liked it!
<Bakura> *turning redder still* I did not!
<*Ryou*> Liar!! *laughs more*
*Meanwhile*
<Ari> *finally getting home* I can't believe you did that! That was just mean!!
<*Kibira*> *is about to answer when someone speaks in the room*
<???> What was mean?
<Ari> *jumps, turning on the light to see Marik* How did… Why are you here?
<Marik> I just wanted to be sure Ryou didn't try anything with you… I was concerned when you said that at Seto's…
<Ari> *hangs her head* I'm sorry… I didn't mean it the way it sounded…
<Marik> *goes to her, embracing her tightly* I forgive you… I'm just glad you're okay.
<Ari> It's not like Ryou would hurt me, Marik…
<Marik> *snaps* You don't know that!
<Ari> *flinches, backing up a bit* Marik, calm down… he's not evil or anything like that… he just kids around with you…
<Marik> *still angry* Don't defend him! He's the devil's dog! I don't want him getting to you! Who knows what he'll do to you!?
<Ari> Marik, please, calm down! You're really overreacting… you're scaring me.
<Marik> *sighs* I'm sorry… I just… I don't want to lose you… You and Setsuna have been talking secretly a lot lately… and I'm just worried…
<Ari> Oh, no, no… we're not talking about me. We're talking about… uhm… someone else.
<Marik> *curious* Who?
<Ari> I… can't tell you…
<Marik> *raises an eyebrow* You can't tell me?
<Ari> *shakes her head*
<Marik> Ah. I see… well… I'll just… go then. *picks up his motorcycle helmet, leaving silently*
<Ari> *drops to her knees after he's left, sobbing* What's wrong with me??
