Dawn was speechless as their group approached Evan. This wasn't right... None of it was. And yet, that was the mom Dawn knew. She was always demanding the most out of people. She gingerly reached for Avery's hand again, but then she raised her voice. Her hand quickly went back. "It was harmless," Dawn let out in a meek whisper.
She felt entirely out of place, so, she ran to meet her mother's side. Izzy didn't bother to notice. "Mother! What is going on?!"
"Nothing, dear," she explained calmly, "Simply a little fight."
"That's anything but a little fight! Someone could've died!"
"And they didn't. Now, go back to your friends while we take care of this."
"What's going to happen to Sam?"
"They will recieve due punishment, as will Izzy, and likely Evan. But for now, I'm simply too busy to deal with that boy." The Adjudicator held the door open for Izzy- the first act of kindness she'd shown the pooe girl. "Keep them entertained in the mean time."
"I-... I guess, but mother-"
"What now?"
Dawn bit her tongue at her mom's harsh words. She was supposed to bring up how she completely forgot the promise she made, about finally spending time together, but all that came out was a bland, "Nothing. I know you're busy."
The Adjudicator left without any thanks for understanding. Dawn returned to the group woefully.
