What happened inside the red restroom at Clifford's was a topic that was never touched by the two friends. It was like it had never happened. Or at least, Jane ignored it, pushing it to the back of her mind, pretending she didn't cry in Kylo's arms for ten minutes straight because something unknown triggered an old memory.

It had been two days since the dinner with Kate and everything was back to normal. They kept training, planning the next attack and all their routines that both of them grew used to.

It was like any other day. Jane had just arrived from her classes and was getting ready to spend two hours at the gym.

Jane moved gracefully through the room, as Kylo just watched her, him himself ready to go, already dressed in his sport shorts and a hoodie, a black tank top underneath. She stood in front of the mirror, combing her hair into a high ponytail. Her eyes focused on the image ahead just a second longer, fixing her unzipped hoodie jacket, before turning away. In quick steps, she walked to her bed, grabbing her gym bag and hanging it over her shoulder.

Kylo was already on his feet, ready to follow her lead, but before she could start walking in the door's direction, the ring of her phone echoed loud through the room.

He studied her movements as she picked it up and accepted the call, delaying already their departure.

The girl walked in slow steps with no direction through the room as she talked with whoever called her. The man studied her facial expression and tried to decode it.

The call didn't last longer than seven minutes, but it felt more in Kylo's senses as his eyes never felt Jane walking around in a random patterns.

Hanging up, she let her arm fall on her side, phone in hand. Her mouth agape, eyes wide and shining. But it didn't last more than a second. Her whole expression changed, like the call never happened.

The pair walked to the gym, the heavy silence hanging around the two like it always did. Kylo could feel her emotions biting inside him, but he couldn't decipher and pin point them.

It was cold but red, electric and serene. There was a battle inside her, like all of her emotions were fighting for a place in the podium. Jane didn't know how to feel, that was the only certain thing he knew.

Their training started, but it wasn't going as planned. Jane was unfocused, like her mind was somewhere far away.

The girl was missing every blow, her patterns were random and sloppy. Kylo really wasn't liking what he was seeing.

"Focus." He said sternly. "Control your emotions."

Jane didn't reply, only letting out a scream of frustration and tried to hit Kylo with her fist, but he dodge her pretictable move. She tried again, and once again failed.

Punch after punch, kick after kick, Jane managed to fail them all and Kylo could sense the frustration growing inside her. That mixed along all those other emotions Jane had been feeling since they left her dorm, wouldn't give a good cocktail. It would only worsen her performance, which was terrible already.
