Once Kari was sure that Taiji was fully fine on his own, she had given him his key and quickly went back to the first floor. Being around others was what could distract her now. After swiftly retrieving her blanket from her desk in the office, she quickly went back to the couch and wrapped herself up in it. Shivering a bit when she felt her side hurt, she glanced over at the other people then down at the floor. Her mind was slowly filled with the images of what had occurred, and quickly tried to shove it out of her head. Regardless of what she did though, it still crept back into her head.<br/><br/>Lowering her face so her hair covered it, Kari glanced around the lobby at all of the smiling students and wondered if she was losing it. If bottling up her emotions and only relying on herself was finally catching up to her. . .causing a break down of some sort. The young yankee had never allowed herself to grieve over her mother abandoning her, for it was a sign of weakness. That was another reason Kari joined the gang, to get stronger so she'd never need someone else in her life. But now on the couch, she'd have given anything to have someone just give her a hug.
