Nies hellum looked over all who were there, standing there, almost an outsider, she gave a sigh, and said, loud enough to be heard, [color=f6989d]"When did the game become more important then being human? When did it become okay to treat people like this? When did it become okay to treat people based on their avatars, and not who they are? The game has destroyed you all. Mayhaps you will all find some shred of humanity, and realise what could be the true potential of this game. You all think its about acheiving a high rank, to set you up after graduation, but its not. The thing about humans is that sometimes, we nèed to give a hand to those that struggle, but you would all prefer to just turn a blind eye, rather then to help. I'm going, to see what damage you have done"[/color] Nies hellum meant to shame. She meant to cause pain, meant to destroy the very essence of what the game had become. Shaking her head, she logged out. There was no point staying online, right then.

Not when She knew Eris was upset.

Returning to the real world, Cassandra sat up, looking about. Perhaps she had taken too long to return, qnd Eris was even now doing something she'd refret. As she rose, Cassie heard voices. Stopping, she tilted her head, relieved to near Eris's voice. Another voice, one she didn't recognise. She hesitated, hating tne fact she was eves dropping, but not wanting to interrupt what seemed like an important conversation. 

Biting her lip, Cassie tried not to listen, but it was hard as she heard her name mentioned. The conversation broke Cassie's heart. She wanted to go out there, to do something, anything. But she didn't, not yet. It was evident now that the other voice belonged to Eris's mother. 

Waiting felt like an eternity, but said about moving to the dining room, Cassie waiting a moment, before heading out the room. Hesitating, she entered, [color=f6989d]"Excuse me,  Mrs. Reinhardt. I'd just like to say a few things to Eris"[/color] she looked to Eris, and gave her a smile. [color=f6989d]"Sometimes i think you believe that I won't be there. That I'll suddenly change my mind about how important you are to me and just leave. That isn't going to happen, and no one will take me away either. If they try  they'll find that despite what i have portrayed, I am not weak or...moldable to their ways. 

You don't need to protect me, although i understand why you want to, because I want to protect you, too. Which is hard, because somehow you need protecting from yourself as well. 

The other students, they don't understand because...because they aren't the type to charge in when all seems lost to protect someone that can't protect themselves  even if it  means more trouble for you-I may have angered Chiyo by the way-They have their loyalties, but its ever changing for what they can get out of it, for what tney consider is  best for themselves. They don't care, and thats their loss. They've let the game completely rule them, and you haven't. They don't deserve someone like you. 

They don't understand because they think DGO is just a game. They don't understand you because they can't even understand themselves. 

I...you're so complex  Eris, that I think i could spend tne rest of our lives trying to figure you out completely, but I know you are good. That you put others before yourself, and that you don't stop. I know you are tortured by what is expected of you, and I know that even now, you struggle with the belief thaf I am happy being with you, in whatever capacify you'll have me.

After all, I am a still here"[/color]

Cassandra stood there, feeling awkward not because of Eris, but because her mother was there. It was easy, simple, to speak witn Eris, even if it could be complex at times figuring out what Eris meant, but she didn't know anything about Eris's mother, didn't even know how her words would be taken.
