She wrote down the name, shaking. It wasn't the neatest scrawl, but it was very easy to read.

After a moment more of hesitation, she handed him the piece of paper.

He'd take the paper and scowl at the name. The paper was crumpled and shoved into his pocket.

"It's best that you never see him again. Am I clear?"

She jumped at the scowl, eyes widening at the anger. She was shaking again, which was unexpected, even to her. The fear she felt fogged her emotions, and sitting there, she wasn't sure what to say.

"I... He... Is it... bad?"

"Mathew, He... knows things. He's taken things."

She seemed to forget not to call him by the first name alone in her desperation. She even rocked forward, wanting to touch somebody, wanting comfort.

But she didn't reach out for him.

"I... it's been years. Years, with Him, and He's taken things from me. I... I never thought I'd miss them, with Him around, but..."

He had taken things from her... and those things could get her kicked out of Paradigm.

"Walk with me."

He motioned with his head for her to follow him.

"What did he take?"

She scrambled to her feet, trying to calm her shaking and the sickness in her stomach. Clinging to the book, she forced herself to walk beside him, standing as close as she felt he would be comfortable with.

She needed comfort.

"Me. He... loves innocence. He took my innocence... Every bit of it."

"He can't take you. And we all lose our innocence. It's not who you are."

He was leading her toward the main building's entrance.

She followed, looking down at her hands. "He taught me lessons. Of Justice." She shuddered at that word, feeling sick to her stomach, just talking about it.

She flinched away from him, nodding. "Y-yes. Justice... He... He almost killed me, that night."

"How?" She whispered, voice breaking.

He didn't say anything for several minutes as they finished the walk to the front door. He'd open it for them, glancing back at her.

"Because I'm not either."

She stopped, remembering what had been written in his file. Was that...

"Did you work with Him?" She whispered.

She seemed to relax slightly as she moved in through the door of the school.

"You make Paradigm sound... perfect... like I will be safe here, no matter... what... But I've seen what He can do. What if He finds me?"

"Then I'll kill him."

Simple as that.

"And it's not perfect here. You very well could die during your time here. One of your peers already has since you've arrived. Which is why you will be meeting me tomorrow at Dawn. We are working on your speed."

She paused and stared at Mat for a moment. Kill Him? She felt as if she had been ducked in ice cold water, but wasn't sure why.

However, she didn't have time to think about that. Dawn, the next morning. She nodded, softly saying, "Yes, sir..."

"Good. I'm going to work you so hard you'll think your legs are going to fall off."

Back to gruff sounding.

"Bout time you stopped slacking off."

She smiled and straightened her shoulders, looking at him. Gruff or not... she knew there was kindness in his words.

"Understood. Let's see if you can tire me out."

"Just try to last the whole session."

He'd lead her toward the cafeteria.
