[Riye was looking right at him. Of course, right? A guy that told her he did some many things he wasn't proud of and Daria took the bullet based on that. What mattered was the guy who threatened to mutilate ghosts for purposely breaking her glasses. For convincing her she wasn't alone anymore. Someone who had a bad reputation, and didn't give a shit about it.]

Ethan, I'll be fine. I put a lot of thought into what I decided to do going forward and despite any reputation he has, he's been a good friend to me. No one has to be responsible for any of it but myself.

[She grabbed another book. She knew how blunt she was. Riye never really cared about that, but maybe she should care a bit if it was a student she liked.]

Regardless, I'm not saying whatever fight you had should have gotten physical. I really just don't feel comfortable defending or condemning people in a scuffle I wasn't in. So...I am sorry it happened.
