This was the second time this week that Kieran had to step in and stop S'tann from killing someone. It was almost like he was his babysitter or handler now. He was glad that his uncle had arrived and took him out of there. Things should be settling down after that. He looked over at Mari who was now joined by Freddie and Andy. The fact that the latter was still able to move showed his resilience. Kieran's main focus was Mari. She took quite the beating and it made him believe that S'tann's days at Corrigan were now numbered. There's no way that the Bat Family would let this stand after it hit so close to home. He expected that he'd be kicked out before he got the chance to go to the dance.

He heard a familiar voice and turned to see Mailsi. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks. The guy packs quite the punch." He then clearly forced a laugh before looking around the cafeteria. "I think we're way past therapy. I'm going to go ahead to class. I don't want to be late again." He started to walk over to Mari and the others and said, "Sorry." before walking away again. He really felt bad about not stepping in sooner than he did. He was there. He let the situation escalate like it did. He wanted to believe that it was because he initially believed that Andy and Mari could handle it, but he knew that S'tann was stubborn and that the difference in power between him and Mari had a pretty big gap. At least a big gap at their current levels.

Maybe there was something wrong with him. He didn't like seeing them in distress like that or at least he didn't think he did. What other excuse could he give for not stepping in sooner? Maybe the nightmares were getting to him more than he originally thought. Maybe class and the dance could help him clear his mind of it. At least temporarily.
