Winter Wars: The Darkness Within

"What the hell..." Lera muttered as she turned to face Wu who looked back at her, "You trust him?!"

"I didn't really..." Wu said when suddenly, another figure emerged from the shadows.

"But I did," Ita said, stepping forward as Lera turned to look at her. She wasn't there at the Ville College when Charlie was all on his antics, and she had no idea of the brief history between Ita and Charlie, "I still hate you for what you did, Charlie. But I am not doing this for you."

Charlie looked at Ita with a pained expression, and he nodded in understanding.

Going back in time, right as Lera's facing off against Yuna, and Wu's investigating the truths about PORA, Ita and the other students were simply watching the tournament from the common room of the Ville college. That was when Charlie stumbled back in with his body battered and bruised.
