She wanted to cry or scream but she could not manage to do either. She still felt guilty in spite of Ivy's reaction....
Kido watched the fox with a blank expression as she gave her side of the story. She seemed pretty upset, and that was kind of sad, too. Crouching down beside her, he tried to pet her head again. "I think...maybe we all don't know how to really react to each other. We're all so used to being freaks, that we don't know how to stop being freaks. And we have trouble understanding each other because of that." He kept petting her head as he spoke quietly. "Ivy has a lot of trouble with her ability, because she can't use it enough to learn how it works, I think. So I sometimes think that maybe it makes her upset to see everyone else use theirs so freely. And Kyle is just scared for the same reason that I am: He's watched people he cares about get hurt. None of us know how each other's powers work, so we all overreacted because we're too cautious."
"I've watched my friends disappear one by one. I didn't want another to disappear. And you just want to make friends that won't leave you because of what you do either, right? Maybe we're the same. But we don't know each other, and we don't know what everyone has been through, so we all ended up hurting each other. I don't think we have to just let our wounds bleed out alone, though. Maybe we just need to patch each other up. Kiss it and make it better." The boy attempted to hug the fox again. "I'm sorry that this happened. It's not a very good way to start camp, is it? If you want, though, could we maybe start again? Nobody should have to feel so terrible and alone at the end of the day."
