Suou Nicole shakes her head. Even though she has almost no pride left after this past week, and especially after today, she tries to salvage anything that's left. "No, I can manage on my own. Just point the direction I have to go, and I'll find my own way. I don't need help."
She recalls saying the same thing to her brother. 'Stupid brother: why did you have to go and die and leave me alone?' Rather than making her regret saying this, this thought just makes her more determined to show she can do it by herself. She can prove to herself that she's stronger than her father thought she was.
