Persephone was a blond haired green eyed girl who was born outside the matrix. Her parents were born inside the matrix and both died there as well. She and Mouse met the first time he came to Zion after her parents were already dead. It was 4 years ago and she was appointed to show him around. She agreed and at his first meal there he sat next to her.
The bell rang and Persephone left her room; they were calling an assembly. Probably to announce the deaths and Neo, she thought.
After the assembly nearly everyone had mixed emotions. They were happy for finding Neo but depressed about the deaths. About a dozen people came up to Persephone trying to comfort her.
"Oh sweetie are you okay?" "Do you need to talk?" "How do you feel?"
"I'm fine." Persephone kept saying. 2 people followed her back into her room; Sting, and Azula. Sting and Azula were 2 girls who were Persephone's best friends. "What?"
"Are you okay?" Azula asked.
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?"
"'Cause you 'nd Mouse had a," Sting paused thinking of the proper word, "thing."
"No we didn't." Persephone said denying what Sting was saying.
"Come on seph, everyone with eyes can see you had something going on."
"Look guys, do your research before you start acting like you know everything okay."
"Iz m'kay seph, we know you're sad-"
"Of course I'm sad! 5 people just died! But what do you want me to do? Start weeping about how much I love him and how perfect Mouse was? He wasn't! We weren't in love, we weren't lovers, we were friends!" Persephone yelled interrupting Sting. "Yeah I'm sad but what do you want from me? A teary cliché about how much I'll miss his smile or some shit like that?"
"No. Your right. We're sorry." Azula apologized.
As the two girls turned to leave Persephone yelled "And we didn't have a 'thing'!"
