Torch slams the bathroom door shut and locks herself inside. She tosses her bag to the floor and lays down, sobbing. It's been a rough day. She just lost one of her long-time friends.
"Why can't life be FAIR?" She yells at the toilet, hitting herself in the head a couple times.
"Life's never been fair." Comes a voice above her. She looks up to see Gray standing over her.

PICKLES.
This ruins her day.
