Ari remembered everything. She remembered giving the letter to Maki, and Tora showing up at her concert. She remembered the overwhelming emotions that almost made here pass out the first time. She remembered watching him fight the weakness in his eyes; he never did like to show weakness. Travis and Tora fighting was almost too fresh in her memories. She felt helpless as she had watched them. Not wanting to either of them to hurt the other, but wanting someone to win and whisk her away. But whisked away she was not, Tora just left her there.
What she could not remember was who brought her here and protected her. A big part of her hoped it was Tora, but deep down she knew it must have been Travis. Tora had left her before and would probably do it again, but Travis had never left her and would never leave her.
Travis was obviously what was best for her, but she didn't want what was best for her. There was something about Tora. Something she couldn't explain or escape.
