Mark watched fixatedly first as Kiki truly revealed herself and cheered along the few in the crowd brave enough to do so. she deserved it after having been ostracized her entire life, he had in two days come to the realization how lucky he had been growing up without any of that. then Rose's performance came on, this girl infuriated him nearly as bad as Firis used to... but maybe like with firis he had misjudged, her song was an accusation of abandonment, but the passionate hatred behind it could mean only one thing... and that gave him a different kind of anger... because now that there were people willing to offer her a place to belong, or at least be her friends she pushed them away.<br/>"Just what went wrong in her life... that she became this bitter at such a young age."<br/><br/>Toni was on her way out when Derek stopped her. "oh it's... not something you can help with... it's not me... it's Rose... she... exploded earlier. I need to stop talking now, try to help her... if you can. she doesn't want it, but she really needs it. I need to get going now, got a Gym to challenge after all." With that she took off, trying to sort her thoughts on the way over and get her head back in the game.
