[The feed opens up on Chrome sitting with her head buried in her knees. There is a banging at her door.]

Nagi! Let me in right now, young lady!!!

[Chrome's form tenses up at the demonically warped voice of her mother, and she starts to shake from crying.]

Go away....go away....

[The doorknob jiggles as the woman tries to get in.]

Nagi, I am

[.......That has the ring of something familiar to it.] Ah, miss, do you need someone there?

You're under no obligation to listen to them just because they share blood with you. [This is the tone of someone that would know, and it's not as controlled as Tris would like. Neither is the lightning in her hair, but we're ignoring that for now.]

[Chime is on Tris's hair, nibbling at the sparks as the mage leaves her room quite Decisively and looking for Chrome's room.]

[She doesn't move from her position.]

I'll be o-okay.

[She's more telling that to herself than to Tris.]

[Tris is looking and listening as she cuts through the hallway, and she brings the Blackberry close to her for a minute, voice going quiet.] I can't believe that. I understand what having parents like that are like. My own parents left me at a temple and told the head dedicate they never wanted to see me again. I know exactly what people like that can do to a person. [Her voice is harsh, but it's not directed at Chrome at all.]

[The woman on the other side of Chrome's door keep trying to break the lock.]

[This lady was left too? Chrome had thought that she was alone on that...]

[ ... as someone who loves her parents, Chidori doesn't really know the feeling of having a bad parent. But watching this scene happen was making her worry about Chrome's predicament. ]

If she hurts you, you don't have to listen to a word she says!

What room number are you, Miss? I'll chase her away if I have to!

[ This is Chidori being impulsive again. Even though she should be hiding from the Mikage group people, she wants to go and help someone. ]

[Chrome keeps her head buried in her arms across her knees as the vile woman yells some more, but she does hear Chidori's offer for help.]

I-I'm okay. It's fine.

[She's dealt with it before...]

[ No, Chidori wasn't convinced at all. Chrome didn't look fine at all. And Chidori wasn't afraid to tell her so. ]

No you're not!

[ Crossing her arms. ] Now tell me where you are! You shouldn't be alone. Not with someone as scary as that lady.

[The woman on the other side of the door yells out something again, and Chrome figures that help may be good.]
