Korina found a lot about Dark to be reminiscent of her younger self, or any kid just entering their teenage years. She too once felt like a freak. When she started having her periods, when her curves started showing and she was made fun of for having a 'corgi butt'. It made her feel so self-conscious and insecure, and for some time, she could have sworn she would never have friends. Fortunately for her, she had people at her corner to help her realise that she wasn't so weird after all. Dark on the other hand, didn't seem to have had that type of support when it mattered, and Kori was well aware of what probably happened next. The sharks swam in and ate away at whatever confidence she had, leaving only the shell of what could have been.<br/><br/>Kori pouted, feigning offense. "Wow, I must be going crazy if I'm talking to nobody. I should probably schedule a visit to the psychiatrist." The pout didn't last long, soon replaced by a sympathetic smile and a gentle hand on Dark's shoulder. "But seriously, though. You aren't a nobody. I'm sure Art isn't crazy for thinking that, and neither am I. If he burns down the whole school just to protect you, I don't really see a problem with that. You at least deserve that much."
