After Scarlet's encounter with Lloyd and Emil late last night, She was all rested up and ready to head to normin Island. She tried to sneak out without waking anyone but was caught anyway.
"Going somewhere?" sairaorg asked curiously
"I wasn't going anywhere." Scarlet Lied.
"You're a terrible Liar you know that?" Kiba pointed out
"Is it really that obvious?" Scarlet wondered
"Bright as day." Sairaorg answered
"Where were you planning to go anyway?" Irina asked
"Normin Island. I has some business to take care of... alone." Scarlet answered
"Alone?! Rias, stop doing this to yourself! Stop carrying around burdens you can't carry by yourself." Asia pleaded with concern
Scarlet's left hand clenches into a fist
"Then why don't you stop calling me by that name?" Scarlet questioned seething with rage
"Because that's your name! Scarlet is not who you really are!" Asia answered
"Maybe it is! Every time i'm called by that name, i'm reminded of the weak self i once was! I'm done being weak! I have to be strong no matter what!" Scarlet told Asia with anger
"Rias, i don't like the way you're acting. Is this because you couldn't protect Laphicet?" Xenovia asked
"How do you know about that?" Scarlet wondered aggressively
"Irina, filled us in." Xenovia answered
"So what? I need to seek redemption after my failure." Scarlet answered
"Redemption? You know you're acting a whole lot like issei when you were captured." Akeno pointed out
"Don't you dare say his name!" Scarlet warned
"I'll say it as much as i want, i mean, he was our friend too!" Akeno told Scarlet
"is your failure to protect laphicet effecting you that much?" Grayfia wondered
"Yes it is! I thought things would be different now that i've gotten stronger but they haven't! I'm still a weak little girl just like when i was a child! I'm still weak regardless! No matter how strong i get, i'll never be strong enough to save the people i love!" Scarlet answered
Scarlets starts to cry
"I'll never be strong enough... i've failed so many times, just thinking about it makes me hate myself! First i failed to protect millicas from being murdered, issei protecting me from being killed by my father and now Laphicet! Why can't i do a simple damn thing!?" Scarlet cried in agony
"You're such a crybaby." Asia told Scarlet coldly
Everyone is shock to hear that come out of Asia's mouth.
"What?" Asia wondered
"We didn't expect to hear something like that come out of your mouth." Kiba answered
"Someone has to be the grown up. Obviously Scarlet is still a child." Asia said harshly
"Yikes, that was harsh." Sairaorg admitted
"Asia, that's enough." Dezel told Asia
"You're right." Asia agreed
Asia walks up to Scarlet and puts out her hand but scarlet smacks it away.
"Rias?" Asia wondered in awe
"Stay away from me." Scarlet ordered
Scarlet runs pass everyone and heads to normin island Alone.
