In The Eyes of the Beholder

Carlotta sat on the chair, sulking slightly as she looked over to where Dorran is sitting. He is very busy in something else on his phone and that seems to be stressing him out, slightly.

Max looks very contented to just be the pillow of Kaia while she slept as soundly as a baby would.

"Are you ok?" Shia asked, sitting beside her with a thump.

"Why are you asking that?" Carlotta asked, pretending like she wasn't just sulking a minute ago.

"I don't know. You do look a little bit upset, so I am just concerned." She said, shrugging. "You know that you can tell me anything right?"

"Should I be telling you though?" Carlotta asked, "I don't even know what you say myself and … I hate disappointing anyone."

"Everyone here." She said, looking around the room. "I saw how everyone looked at me once I said that I wanted revenge. Their image of me is shattered now and there is no repairing it."
