[Jasper's picked on a lot of kids at Shiroiwa. They're all so small and pathetic, like little, stupid animals chattering on about little, stupid problems. It's so easy for her to throw one against a locker with a powerful shove of her arm. Lapis, of course, was never any exception. The look in her eyes always made Jasper's gut twist up in knots.

Now, her mouth twists up into a cruel grin, and she spreads out her hands, palms-up, at her sides.]

What, you still mad about all that? Come on... Can't handle a little roughhousing? It's not like I was actually trying to kill you.

["Not like now" is her unspoken promise.]
