"I have this sinking feeling in my gut that you chose this to get back at me." Ran said as he continued to cut the coloured paper into different shapes.

Kaia sat beside him and is just smiling without saying a word.

"So, it was Dor." Ran said, holding his clenched fists up to no one in particular.

She pulled at his sleeve to get his attention back and signed, "You were very cooperative though."

"I felt bad." He said, scratching the back of his head, "I was a little insensitive when I threw y- what is what that look on your face?"
