I walked down to the basement and knocked on Painter's door. Kagekao answered it. Painter was sitting on the other side of the room putting away different supplies he used to help patch up Kagekao.
  "Manami?" Kagekao whispered.
  "I want to apologize to Painter..." I sighed.
Kagekao nodded and looked back at Painter.
"Hey dip shit. Who's at the door?" Painter asked Kagekao rudely. Either he hates Kagekao with a burning passion or he's pissed about me. Maybe both. I've never heard him insult someone like that.
"ES, I don't think now is the best time." Kagekao whispered.
"Kagekao!! Who's at the door?!" Painter yelled.
Kagekao just opened the door and I showed my face.
Painter glared at me. I could already feel the tears gathering in my eyes.
"Helen...Please...I'm sorry." I said as my voice broke. Tears rushed down my cheeks.
"No. You purposely did what you did. We are supposed to do all this together. You fell down to his level. You are just as bad as him. I see why he's after you now." Painter sighed looking away from me.
I felt my heart break in two. "Helen...Please......I-"
"You have no excuse for this. I don't want to talk right now. Please leave." Painter said disappointed.
I silently cried as I nodded. I respected his wish and left. I walked back up to my room and laid on my bed crying every tear in my body out.

~~~~Kagekao
I watched as Manami left crying. I turned to Painter. "You say she's like me, but really you're the one like me."
"What are you talking about?" He asked as I walked back to him.
"You made her cry in a way I never could." I said sitting back down at he stitched my neck from when Manami bit me.
"She did this to herself. How do you expect me to act?" He asked.
"I would expect you to encourage her to continue hurting me since I am the one who hurt every one else." I shrugged.
"Sit still...You tortured her and she turned around and did the same to you. She fell down to your level. I hate it. I won't allow my best friend to fall that low."
  "Well she did it because of me." I smirked. My whole plan right now is to make him hate me. More than he already does.
  He was silent as he confused stitching me up. My back was already stitched up.
  "You know, she did it for you guys. Every night she would hurt me ten times for each one of you guys that I hurt. She never mentioned the times I hurt her."
  Another long period of time of nothing but silence. I smirked. "You know, she really cares about you guys. She said that if she didn't get caught, she'd kill me today. These ropes really make me weak."
  "Shut up." He demanded.
  I shrugged again and stayed silent.

~~~~Manami
  I hugged my pillow as I cried heavily. I noticed Painter left his jacket in my room. I picked it up and put it on. It was big on me. I looked down and let my tears fall onto the bed below me. I pulled Painter's jacket over my shoulders. Tears fell like rain drops onto my legs and bed.
  "Manami..." I heard a soft voice call. I turned and saw my mom.
  "Mom? What?" I asked as I stood up and reached out for her faded body.
  "I saw. Why? I understand that you wanted to protect your friends but that wasn't the way to do it." My mom said putting her hand on my cheek, wiping my tears away.
  I looked down. "I just wanted to protect them..."
  "Well...I can't blame you for that, next time, I want you to consent with your friends to make sure it would be ok for you to torture his ass. Trust me. If they said no, I would make sure he was tortured myself." My mom said sitting in my bed.
  "Mom...I fucked up." I cried.
  She looked at me and smiled. "You are only human. We all make mistakes."
  "But I'm not human." I giggled.
  "I see you got my humor." My mom laughed. "Anyways, you are a being with the body and thought process of a human being. We all make mistakes. Your judgement was clouded with sadness and anger toward that boy. You couldn't think straight. All you wanted to do was make him suffer the way your friends did I get it. Next time, all you need to do is take your anger by doings something else. It makes a hella difference. Trust me."  My mom explained.
  I nodded and hugged her. I cried my eyes out. I cried out all my pain and stresses. When I finished, my mom kissed my head and left. I let out a sigh and fell asleep in a puddle of my own tears.

~~~~Painter
  I went up to Manami's room to get my jacket once I realized I left it there. I walked up to her room and sighed. I gently knocked on her door. I didn't hear anything so I creaked open her door. I saw she was asleep. I walked in and looked on her floor for my jacket. I looked under her bed and didn't see it. I sat on my knees in front of her bed. I looked around and noticed it was in the one place I thought it would never be. On Manami. She was asleep, clinging to the sleeves of my jacket. I sighed and used the bed to help me stand up. As I applied pressure to the bed, I felt my hand get wet. I looked down and a whole area around Manami's head was wet. It wasn't like, she peed the bed wet but like someone spilled water on it. I also noticed tear stains on her cheeks. She must have cried herself to sleep. I concluded. I let out another sigh and wiped the tear stain away then left.
