Mimiru's blunt language caught Kari off guard, and made her break her inner thoughts. Staring up at the girl who stood before her, Kari felt herself starting to feel a little like normal, wanting to scold the younger student for disrespecting her. But even that inner smirk died quickly as her side started to pang in pain. Knowing she'd sound crazy if she did tell the truth, Kari straightened herself on the couch and tried to pipe off a response as she normally would.<br/><br/>"Watch your mouth to an upper classmate," she said slowly before flicking her eyes up to Mimiru's. "I'll be fine, eventually. Just really had the shit scared out of me, I guess you could say." Kari was partially telling the truth, for the encounter did scare her to death. It was the most horrifying experience she'd ever had in her life, worse than the biggest nightmare she'd ever had. But how could she talk about what happened? It was impossible. And people might see the bruises, she'd have to explain where those came from. "I ran into a rival gang." Kari said quickly, rattling it off as if she'd been in a massive fight. That would cover up the bruising, but not her fear. But it was all she could come up with in her frantic state of mind.
