Sara: *My hands claw at my temples, a low moan of anguish trapped in my throat* My mistake. My arrogance. I handed him the keys. This is all my doing! Coco: Sara, look at me. You must calm yourself. We all failed. Noel: She speaks truth. This guilt won't help us find a way. Karen: Save the self-pity. The immediate threat is Kaito. He's chosen Gaito's side. Rina: It changes everything. Hanon: What can we possibly do now? Luchia: *A broken whimper escapes me as I crumple forward, hot tears spilling onto my lap, the memory of his smile now a knife-twist of betrayal while the others hover, their words of comfort sounding hollow and far away.*
