A couple days had passed since Carrie had finished the dress, now stored away in a draw of the clothing room. She didn't make it as something to wear for herself, rather just to make use of the fabric. Carrie now sat at her sewing machine, feeding material through it. So set at her current activity, she failed to hear someone enter the room.

"Wow, Carrie that looks incredible" A voice sang, causing the blonde to jump. She peaked through gaps in the strands of her hair to identify Yui standing beside her.

"Y-You shouldn't sneak up on me when I'm at the machine" Carrie criticized continuing to sew the material.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you Carrie. I just wanted to check in with you" Yui apologized remorsefully; hearing her downcast tone Carrie plucked her fabric from the machine and brought it to her desk.

"It's okay, please try to be more careful when I'm using the machine" She assured as Yui took the seat next to her.

"So what is it you are actually making" Yui asked, intently watching as Carrie stitched the fabrics.

"It'll be a skirt" She answered, causing her audience's eyes to light up with excitement. They two sat with each other for a couple of moments in complete silence, though it didn't bother Yui as much as Carrie. Not the silence, just that the girl was with her. After another minute Carrie set her things down, confusing Yui.

"Can I ask what your doing"

"What do you mean" Yui asked back, unsure of the question.

"What are you doing…with me" Carrie clarified.

"Well seeing how we are the only girls here, as well as humans, I though we could get to know each other better. You know so we can comfort one another, and give advice when needed" She answered with a genuine smile, though the blonde remained silent and still avoided eye contact beneath her hair.

"I doubt that I can never be there for you, you and I will never understand each other" Carrie stated, causing the girl's smile to fall.

"Please don't say that Carrie, we just have to get to know each other and then.." Yui trailed off her hand wrapping itself with Carrie's, realizing how warm the Japanese girl's hands were. " I'm sure we'll be friends" Her smile returning brighter, and bigger than ever. Carrie couldn't help, but hope the same.

"I don't know" She said dispirited.

"Of course we can" Yui confirmed confidently, they locked eyes for a few moments before a sigh escaped Carrie's lips. She picked up her needle and thread to continue sewing the skirt once again.

"Carrie I was actually wondering if you could help me out" She said nothing as she pulled the needle through the fabric.

"Its just I'm having trouble trying to get Takeru to join a club, do you know how I might convince him. Its not just that I want to go home, but I want him to share experiences with the rest of us and not isolate himself like that" Yui explained as Carrie brushed her hair away from her face, but still refused to look at the girl.

"Maybe you should prove it" Carrie spoke softly, just a little louder than a whisper. "Actions are stronger than words, that what I've always believe. S-Someone can say anything, but actually doing it…" Her voice failing.

"I see!" Yui shouted gleefully, abruptly jumping from her seat. Carrie watched the energetic girl, taking note of her skin tone and hair color, she got up from her seat to walk over to a drawer. Yui watched as Carrie pulled a blue dress from it and walked back to her.

"This was the first dress I made in this club, if you wouldn't mind I'd like to give it to you"

"Its beautiful Carrie, but you should have it" The blonde nodded her head and placed the dress over Yui's uniform before having her turn to the mirror. Yui couldn't believe how beautiful a dress she saw.

"I think it suits you. Besides if you won't take it, the dress will just sit in that shelf. Please take the dress" Carrie said replacing her hands with Yui's to hold up the dress.

"All right then, thank you Carrie" Yui accepted as she neatly folded the dress up, Carrie nodded and returned to her desk to resume her sewing.

"I'll see you Carrie" Yui said leaving the room, eagerly waving her arm.


A few days passed since Carrie and Yui had spoken, but Yui was too busy trying to get Takeru to join a club. The girl had spent early mornings and late nights training with him, it took a toll on her body as Carrie noticed throughout class the girl continuously drifted off into sleep.

Carrie had, in the past few days, finished the skirt she had been working on and decided to take a bit of a break from the sewing club. Currently she sat in the cafeteria, enjoying her lunch with a small white rabbit. He sat on her lap as she fed him a few carrots and tenderly patted his body.

"He likes you" A voice stated, turning her head to see Tsukito taking a seat beside her. Immediately she sat the rabbit on the table and began gathering her things to leave.

"I'm s-sorry I didn't mean to, I'll just go" She stuttered frantically moving her things and get them out of the way, until a firm hand wrapped around her own.

"There's no need, there's enough room here and I would enjoy the company" Carrie stood stunned, but after a moment sat back down as Tsukito withdrew his hand. They sat in silence while Tsukito ate his lunch; Carrie fiddled with her fingers nervously as the rabbit returned to the spot on her lap.

"I'm sorry that I've been feeding and that I've been hanging out with your rabbit so much" She apologized so quietly she wasn't sure that he could've heard it, but he did.

"Don't be, he comes and goes when he pleases. I am glad he's been enjoying your company and that you've been caring for him" He replied swallowing a spoonful of food.

"But-"

"Thank you, Carrie White" Tsukito added, cutting her off. Carrie stared at him with wide eyes, shocked at his response while Tsukito continued eating. She simply stared at him, knowing he was completely aware of it, until finally she returned her attention to the rabbit petting it's soft fur.

"Do you mind telling me its name" She asked quietly, continuing to pet the small creature.

"Takeru named him Usamaro"

"Usa-maro" Carrie muttered out hesitantly, the sound so foreign on her tongue she was forced to remind herself they were Japanese. Suddenly the ground trembled violently causing tables to fall over and glasses to shatter, Carrie hoisted the rabbit into her arms as to cradle him against the disaster. Tsukito sprang up from his seat and ran over to the window.

"These tremors" He said peering through the glass, when Carrie peaked over her shoulders towards the window she saw a bright dome covering an area of the forest.

"What is that" She inquired, but received no response. Tsukito either didn't understand it as she did or to stunned to answer her. After a moment the shaking subsided and the dome disappeared. Tsukito never acknowledged her before running out of the cafeteria, leaving her confused holding his rabbit; she debated for a moment to follow and then decided not to. It didn't seem like a situation involving her and she preferred to keep it that way.

"I guess we'll just hang outside for a moment, what do you think Usamaro" She said and with a twitch of his ears, which she took for as a yes, began to leave the messy room. She walked down halls and cut through a couple rooms before finding herself at the main entrance.

Carrie steadily walked down the stairs and off the path into the wooded areas surrounding the school. She laid Usamaro down on the ground while she leaned against the side of the building and watched as the little rabbit frolicked on the grass. From the corner of her eye she saw a shadow, looking closer at it she realized it was Takeru running by her and deeper into the forest.

'He didn't look okay' Carrie thought as she caught glimpses of his expression, easily sorting them out as frustration and fear. Just as she was about to ponder the reason why, she heard voices from above.

"…fell from a cliff, right"

"Yes"

"So that's what happened, please listen to me explain then" After a moment of analyzing the voices, Carrie realized they belonged to Tsukito and Yui. She knew it was terrible to eavesdrop, but she couldn't resist and continued to listen to their conversation below their balcony.

"When we were young a goddess fell from a cliff, right before Takeru Totsuka's eyes. She was a kind goddess, who had looked after him since the day he was born. Takeru Totsuka tried to save her, but he was young and weak. Those who witnessed it misunderstood and thought Takeru Totsuka had pushed her off the cliff. He insisted it wasn't true, but due to his uncouth nature, people continued to doubt him."

Carrie listened to Tsukito's story and couldn't help but fell empathetic towards Takeru, his misfortune was somewhat similar to her own. Though she still felt, despite that similarity, she was the one worse off. He at least had Tsukito, she was one her own. When Carrie tried to listen to anymore of the conversation, there was nothing except silence and she realized they had left. She looked at her surroundings again and noticed that Usamaro had gone as well.

"Always alone" She said to herself, starring up at the sky through gaps in the tree canopy.

'Carrie White, The Judge, step forward' A voice commanded, and she didn't need a moment to wonder who it was. Light surrounded her body and picked her off the ground, and when it disappeared she stood in Zeus's throne room. Zeus and Master Thoth stood at his throne while she was beside all her fellow students, with Takeru and Yui in their workout clothes.

"Carrie White, as the Judge it is your duty to decide whether or not one is guilty of any accusation that befall them without bias. At this moment Takeru Totsuka violated the rules of this academy and removed his shackle to access his divine abilities without my consent" Zeus explained.

"To save me, he broke the rules to protect me when I fell from the cliff. If he hadn't done that then I would have died." Yui added. Carrie stayed quiet and continued to listen.

"Very well then, Ms. White begin your judgment" Thoth instructed, Carrie nodded her head and faced Takeru with her arm extended toward him. Her palm tilted up as to see to a brilliant golden outline of s scale appear etched into her flesh.

"With the blessing of Themis, and her judgment, you have been perceived as…not guilty. Your act was a noble one and done in order to save a friend. That is your judgment" The outline of the scale disappeared from her hand as it returned to her side.

"Very well then, Takeru Totsuka shall be pardoned for his crimes as his intentions were pure" Zeus decreed slamming his staff on the marble floor.

"Hold up" Someone interrupted as a hand knotted itself into Carrie's hair and with a sharp jerk, crippled her to the floor. She wrapped her hands around the ones in her hair and fought to escape them as the grip only tightened.

"Loki, what are you doing!" Yui yelled running over to try and remove him from the blonde, but he managed to keep her at arms length.

"So Zeus what exactly is this girl, is she actually a student trying to pass along side us or is she just a spy for you to properly monitor us. Is she one of your minions" The redhead inquired throwing the girl onto the carpeted floor, Yui rushed to her aid.

"No her position among you is that of your fellow student, but as well as the judge and observe you from her perspective to decide if you are truly worthy to graduate from this institute. Her observations are her own and she does not report them back to me. I chose her for the position of judge because of her forsakenness, because if you can restore her faith in the connection between gods and mortals then you really are deserving to graduate. So I suggest you be a little nicer to her, Loki" With that Zeus stood from his throne and, along with Thoth, left the room.

"Here Carrie, let me help you up" Yui said offering the blonde a hand, instead the girl just pushed herself off the ground to stand back on her feet and proceeded to quickly walk out of the throne room.

"Carrie" Yui shouted as she followed after the girl, the other gods in tow. Yui called out to her friend repeatedly trying to talk with her, until finally grabbing her by her shoulder.

"Carrie please talk to me, I just want to understand you better" She pleaded, somehow earning a giggle from the girl.

"Understand me? How could any of you hope to understand me!?" Her laughing evaporated into her anger. "None of you have face hatred the way I have, alone and completely surrounded by it for my entire life. Even now I still feel it here, after I've left everyone whose ever tormented me behind." She caught her breath and looked at Yui straight in the eyes and calmly added, "I've told you this before. You can never understand what I have endured"

With that Carrie walked away from everyone and ignored everything until she returned to her room, and when she got there exhaustion struck her faster than a bullet. She staggered over to her bed before collapsing upon its sheets, clutching her hand.

"It was more exhausting than I'd thought it be, channeling a goddess" She reasoned as her world grew darker by the second, she could make out Chloe's bright fur but couldn't hear what he was saying. Soon enough she just fell into a dreamless sleep.
