"I know!" Valerie burst out, tears forming in her eyes. 'I know I screwed everyone I love over! You think I need you to tell me that? But I'm here, aren't I? I made my bed, I'll sleep in it! Now hurry up and get it over with! In case you couldn't tell, I have a hole to sleep in, thank you!"

Valerie swallowed the sob. NO. There would be no crying in front of Larxene. She was already weak and she was tired and she wanted to die. Of course the Kunai hurt and of course the pain was starting to set her skin aflame. She could and would bear it all. She did this to Danny. She did this to Misha. Now she was going to pay for it. Would she turn into a heartless? She didn't know. She just wanted it to hurry up and end. Dan was gone anyway. She got to see Danny again. She even got to make a friend.

It wasn't as if there was anything much left to take.
