Clarice looked at Rayne then smiled
Clarice: Thank you, Rayne
Suddenly Clarice's legs failed and she fell on her knees
Rayne: Ah! Are ya okay Clare!?
Clarice placed her forehead on Raynes knees and started crying
Clarice: You must think so low of me after all of this, think of how much of a mess I am, how much of a burden... Why did you choose to stay?
Rayne kneeled down and placed her hand on Clarice's shoulder
Rayne: Do ya really think I would stay or even come here at all if I thought that of what ya say?
Rayne stood up and grabbed Clarice
Rayne: I'm here cause I care about ya, cause ya are important to me and cause I want ya to see that all those things ya say and think are absolutely not true
Rayne places Clarice un her bed as she slowly stopped crying
Clarice: Do... Do you really mean that?
Rayne smiled
Rayne: If I didn't I wouldn't have brought ya to your bed, now rest up, ya need it
Rayne covered Clarice with a pink blanket and made sure she was comfortable
Clarice: You didn't have to do this Ray
Rayne: I did this because I wanted to, rest up Clare, I'll go check on everyone really quick and I'll bring ya some food, ya need to eat
Clarice covered half of her face with the blanket to cover up her blushing expression
Clarice: O-Okay
Rayne stood up and walked towards the door
Rayne: I'll be back soon! See ya soon Clare!
Rayne left Clarice's room as Clarice covered her whole face with the blanket
Clarice: Aaaahhhh!!! She's really staying!!! But what am I doing!? Why do I feel so excited!? And what the hell is wrong with me!? I really don't understand myself sometimes
As Clarice questioned herself Rayne arrived at the party hall exactly at the same time as Lorena was about to give her closing speech
Lorena: I wanted to say from the bottom of my heart to all those present here and part of this brand new idea, to bring compassion and hope to the whole world, I wanted to say thank you, your work, your actions, all of your contributions will lead to a better future, to a better world! Do not feel you are insignificant or that your actions are invalid, everything you do and say is a step forward in the right direction! So to close of our opening party I would like to say to you all, thank you and good night!!!
Everyone cheered as Lorena got off the stage with a big smile on her face, she turned around and saw Rayne and quickly ran to her
Lorena: Rayne! You're back! How's Clarice doing? Is she okay?
Rayne: First of, that was a great speech! Second of all, Clare is doing just fine! She's resting now, I came here to check on y'all and go take her some food
Lorena looked relieved and quickly called over Marney
Lorena: Marney come here!
Marney burnt out from all the dancing slowly came to Lorena and Rayne
Marney: Yes Lora!?
Lorena: Pack some food if you can! Clarice needs it!
Marney suddenly got a ounce of energy
