Anthony shakes his head slightly, "You're taking these things too seriously Kijani. We're not talking about life or death situations, we're talking about you not trusting your friends. If I were you, I'd let them in and enjoy the company while you can, because if you continue on the path you're on, you'll be nearly completely alone. Then, the only people that will be able to stand you are people like me." With one last smile and his eyes returning to their normal color, Anthony says, "You call me an ass, Ms. Rayne, but let's face the facts every time you storm off on your friends, who's the one that sticks around to try and lend an empathetic ear? Is it your friends? No, it's me. I may not be successful in getting you to talk to me, but at least I make an attempt to comfort you when it's obvious you need it." He begins to walk away, continuing towards the gym.(It's up to you whether or not to continue the conversation.)

Kijani stared after him in clear confusion. As Anthony was nearly out of earshot, the question came on it's own. "...why?" She sounded lost, which was somewhat new for her. "Why would you just... advise me like this?" She couldn't think of what he hoped to gain from her happiness.

533 stared at Devika for a moment trying to decide what she thought of the name. "What the hell does that mean?"

Devika smiled. "They're Greek numeric prefixes. Penta is 5. Triaconta is 30. And tri again, is 3. But when you put it all together, it just sounds pretty and exotic." She let that sink in as she took a long drink of water. "That's the thing about this place. You can discover yourself here- who you really are, all parts of you, not just some of you. And you can reinvent yourself, too. You don't have to be the person they want."
