"My gosh!" Alia exclaimed. "All these...scars! Kota! Do you? Does she cut herself?" Again, it was an obvious answer that anyone could answer,

(his sign up is currently under heavy editing but i am introducing him anyway :P)

Delandro (Del) walked up behind Alia and said in a deep voice "She has been cutting herself ever since Dawn disappeared. I have tried helping her stop multiple times."

"Who are you...?" Alia questioned. "Are you a friend of Kota?" Hearing the name Dawn sent a pang of sadness through her, reminding her that Dawn was forever gone.

Del said "Name's Del. Kota is my foster daughter."

Ooooh. "Wait, foster father? Where is Kota'e parents?" Alia, had being an orphan, could sympathize.

Del shrugged and said "She never talked about them. I took her in after she appeared on my doorstep about five years ago."

"Oh, that's..." Very common. Alia had unwillingly been taken in, but grew used to her foster parents. "We should get some medical attention to Kota. Her arm us bleeding pretty bad."

"no time for this now now get in!" i was not one to talk about pasts. i hated my own and frankly did not want to hear anyone else's

Del said "I will meet you at the hospital. Keep her safe." Then he walked over to his car and climbed in.

"Okaaay!" Alia sighed and climbed in the backseat where Kota was. "Kota, you'll be fine." She assured.
