Nova Peak i'm usher, you're bieber.

Yami nodded in agreement. Her own blood family had never done anything but make her feel like she wasn't good enough, like she had something to prove in order to earn their affection. It was the only way she knew, and yet she was certain that wasn't the way it was supposed to be. Once more, the good memories--the ones that tried to show her she'd been wrong, that they weren't all like that--tried to invade her mind, but she drove them away. They weren't welcome.

Oddly, she did feel a pang of disappointment that Kiwi wasn't more indignant on her behalf. Maybe she hadn't struck quite the right note. Then again, why did she want her friend to be jealous anyway? "He was cool for a while," Yami said with a shrug, "I had fun flirting with him until he took it too far and... did what he did." She shook her head as though to brush it away before she continued.

"But anyway, I got some good hits in before he took off. Pretty sure that chunk I took out of his ear won't be growing back," she grinned.
