Ran'Jinro entered Kashmira's chambers. He didn't even bother to knock.

"What's gotten into you, girl?! Hitting an Apprentice like that!"

Kashmira didn't respond.

"Speak up!" said Ran'Jinro strictly. "I have nearly had it with you. You are almost impossible to socialise with!"

Kashmira still didn't respond to his outburst. She merely sat on the bed staring into the floor.

"Listen to me now, you..." He made a pause and stared at her.

Even though he was near-sighted, he wasn't blind enough not to notice the sword in Kashmira's hands. A sword with the tip pointed at her own throat.

"Kashmira?" he said and slowly approached her. "Put the sword down..."

She swallowed and looked apathetically into the floor, still not replying.

"Do you hear me, girl? Put down the sword..."

Her gaze shifted to him as she noticed his approach and she pressed the tip harder against her throat.

He took a quick step back. "Kashmira, please... Don't do this..."

"Why not?" she laughed, although he could hear how strained the laughter was. "It's not like anybody here would miss me. And don't you dare say that they would, because you know it is not true! The last thing I want to hear in this wretched world are the lies oozing out of your mouth!"

"Alright, alright", replied Ran'Jinro calmly and backed away further.

''Help me out here, Jah'Rakal! ''he thought.

"I won't be lying to you when I say that you are not exactly on the best of terms with people here in the Sanctum."

"Correct", said Kashmira.

"But what exactly have you done to contribute to that dispute? Have you even tried to be nice?"

She nodded. "I tried. But people dismissed me. Do you know how that feels? You don't? I am very happy for you. People were hating on me because I was my father's daughter. No one trusted me! In the end I grew tired of trying to shield myself against their accusations and ended up giving them the answer they all were hoping for. So here I am! Kashmira! A bitter bitch with a chip on her shoulder! She is probably most likely to betray us all! Perhaps I should give them that as well? That way I wouldn't have to stay awake every night worrying that people will think otherwise of me!"
