Carolyn opened her mouth to retort with the classic acidity that was so characteristic of her, but once she heard Dark's admission of almost killing Kyo, she was lost for words.
"What?" she said in a hollow voice. "You almost killed him?"

She understood what Dark was attempting to insinuate, but he was sorely mistaken. Carolyn felt no special affinity towards Kyo but Dark's observation about her being unable to break through the dome was alarming. She had genuinely felt as if she didn't possess the power needed to force her way through it. Was it possible that she had held back?

And what of this new development? Dark's blase attitude towards almost taking his best friend's life was something to be concerned about. She, of course, was not going to visit Kyo in the hospital. She had purposely avoided him since the events of that night and she had no desire to alter that unbroken streak.

"Looks like being Balthazar's pets didn't work out so well for you two." she remarked snidely.

Kyo groaned in defeat and closed his eyes, capitulating to the bandage change. There was no way he was getting out of this and, after all, Mei did have a point. Besides the fact that the other students would find the sight of a shuffling, mummified corpse terrifying, he wasn't sure he had enough energy to even leave the hospital wing.
