Nova laughs a little then looks at Vara. "What do you mean?"

"I just think it was a shitty thing to do, that's all. I know I don't really have any right to be upset about it... but I am," Vara says as she stands up. "I'm going to go to bed. I'll catch you later, Novi." And with that, Vara headed upstairs to the bedrooms. She stands in the doorway of the bedroom for a second, not sure what she wanted, before climbing into Mariko's bed next to Mariko.

It had been a very long and sleepless night for Daisy. After she had left Mariko's bed, she had instantly regretted what she did, purely because she had been the one who had caused Mariko to cheat on her girlfriend, and she hated herself for not having the self control to stop it from happening. She had got carried away, but that was no excuse - she should have been able to stop herself from doing something that she had known was totally wrong. When the first signs of daylight hit, she realises that there was no way she was going to get any sleep, so deep rooted was her hatred for herself right now and so strong was the sense of self loathing that ran through her. She sits up in bed, rubbing her tired eyes, before she stands up, her head hung low in shame, and makes her way out of the bedroom. She walks into the kitchen and silently makes herself a cup of tea before heading out into the garden. She walks over to the pool and along the diving board, which she sits on the end of, her feet sitting just above the level of the water, as she cradles her cup of tea, and for the 100th time since it happened, goes over the events of the night before in her head. She had already been depressed at what she had done. The sex had been passionate and wonderful, but she hated the fact that she had been the one who helped Mariko betray someone she clearly loved a lot. As the enormity of the issue hits her again, she looks down at her feet, trying to fight off the tears. It's no use though. After a few seconds, her bottom lip starts to tremble, and she suddenly starts to sob, completely ashamed with herself and embarrassed at what she had done. She sits there for a while sobbing. She felt alone and vulnerable at that point, and although she was an adult, it was clear that Daisy was still just a teenager finding out about herself and the world as a whole.

"La la la la." Nova sang as she showered. It was a perfect day to her and it was friday so she was happy. She finished getting dressed as she made her way to the kitchen for breakfast. She smiles as she sings aloud now, just so cheery. She makes some bacon, eggs, and an english muffin with some grape jelly and orange juice.

When she finished eating, she washed her dishes. Seeing Daisy outside alone made her sad so she was going to go talk to her but it seemed Mariko had beat her to the punch. She finishes her juice then heads to the rec room where'd she practice her pool playing.

Mariko did not even see that daisy was outside too,she was so wrapped in her own thoughts. As she lowers the bottle,she sees a familiar little person. The non bubbly daisy was heartbreaking to see. Mariko wanted to get up and leave,but couldn't leave daisy like that. Mariko gets up and walks closer to daisy. " um....hey." she says quietly. What else do you say to break the ice after such an event?

Mariko drops her bottle and hugs daisy. "Shhh.shh,daisy cakes. You have nothing to be sorry for. I am responsible for everything. I am sorry,daisy." Mariko says before swallowing hard." I could have told no...I encouraged it...and I feel like I used you.." mariko stammers. She hated seeing daisy like this,especially because of something not her fault.

Mariko wants to hug daisy tighter and kiss her cheeks,but that probably would be horribly inappropriate under these circumstances. Oddly,comforting daisy made detaching herself from the situation easier,it let cold hard logic through. " it does not matter if you knew I had a girlfriend,Daisy. I knew I had a girlfriend. That makes this all on me." She sighs and releases her hug,stuffing her hands into her jean pockets. " I...reached th point of no return the night before. Vara and I showered together...not in the same stall,but in full view of each other. I...I boxed the kitten in front of...and for vara." Mariko blushes when she admits this. " please do not blame yourself. If is me. And me alone."

Christopher sits in the living room, eating a bowl of vanilla ice-cream to help cool him down in what feels like a tropical climate and also to satisfy his sweet tooth. With no task this week and not being involved in any drama, he is starting to really feel the boredom of being trapped in a house and prays that something comes along to distract and amuse him before he goes stir crazy.

Mariko holds daisy again,gently squeezing her. She seemed like exactly what she was... a scared little girl. A few days ago,what they did together would have been illegal. Mariko was at fault,no matter how daisy tried to convince herself otherwise. "Daisy." Mariko says,rather sternly. " you did nothing wrong.you are not a slut,you are not evil,a homewrecker or anything like that. You were lonely,as was I. " mariko hugs her again. Mariko felt terrible for what had happened, but daisy blamed herself so much,that mariko had to hold it in. " i am not going to lie,I regretted it as soon as it was over. As it looks like you did too. But it happened and we have to move on. You are innocent,daisy. I was the problem,not you." Mariko further explained,then lets out a sigh. " nova? She must not be too straight. You should not apologize to me,she is probably more deserving. She may feel this......cheapened what happened with you two." She holds daisy around the shoulders,greatly missing her previous demeanor." Daisy,It is not your fault." She tells her softly. Mariko was strong now, but would fall to pieces when nobody was around.
