Crunch!
The sound was deafening.
And not just physically, especially psychologically, for the girls who hadn't expected it to be this bad.
None of them thought they'd be here, forced to witness something so ridiculous, so romantic, so aggressively domestic that it felt borderline illegal in an academic setting.
Kate's teeth ground together.
She wanted to kick the other girls. Hard.
She'd worked so hard to stabilize Lyka's mood after the last incident, when someone (AHEM, Janine) thought it would be a good idea to show her the forums. And now? Now they'd gone and pointed out those two over there.
Those two.
Kate could feel the migraine forming.
And if her family didn't still owe the Vela family a mountain of debt, she might've just let Lyka spiral into the void of her own delusions. Full throttle. No brakes.
When they were younger, hearing Lyka talk about her "life plan" was cute. Dedicated. A little unhinged, but passable.
