* Taro tries to catch up to Cara.
* Cara runs out of the stadium.
* Taro follows.
* Cara keeps running, picking a random direction.
* Taro continues following. @_@
* Cara finally comes to a stop as she enters a park, collapsing onto a bench.
* Taro finally comes to a stop as he enters the park, collapsing face-first onto
the ground in front of Cara, gasping. @_@
<Taro> C-Caaaaraaa....
* Cara doesn't seem to notice Taro. Her face is buried in her hands and she's
crying, softly.
* Taro stands up, then sits next to Cara.
* Cara still doesn't acknowledge Taro.
<Taro> ... I'm not very good at saying things, but I'd have to say what happened
back there seriously bothered me too...
<Cara> This...
<Cara> This world...
<Taro> I know. There's someting really wrong. I don't like it either...
<Cara> I hate it! There's all these people who fight each other for some stupid
prize and they hurt each other and they kill each other and...
* Taro nods, looking sad.
<Cara> What am I supposed to do? That wish...if that's our only way out of
here...you guys have to fight. But...but...I can't! I'm not a fighter...what can
I -do-?
<Taro> We've got a year to the next tournament...
<Taro> And I'll be on the lookout for other ways off this world too.
* Cara lapses into silence.
* Taro also seems silent, pondering things over in his mind
<Cara> ...I'm going back to Daphne.
* Taro nods.
<Taro> Alright.
* Cara gets up without another word and starts walking back.
<Taro> I'll go get Ichi and bring him to Daphne too.
* Taro goes to do just that.
* Cara produces her hat and puts it on, angling it down in front to better hide
her expression.
