Perri buried her face in Karina's shoulder once she realized where the girl was carrying her. Up. She was carrying up the friggin building and over roofs. She held on tight, that was for sure. She worried she was choking her but obviously that wasn't the case. The girl was still running as effortlessly as if on ground, without Perri on her back. Where had this bad ass girl come from? What happened to her girlfriend? She couldn't wait to get where they were going.

It didn't take long for Karina to get the two of them to the dorms. Sneaking in was easy enough and once they got into Karina's room the whitette sat Perri back on her feet and went to get herself a little more comfortable before explaining everything. The hoodie was taken off and put away, as were the boots and hairband. Her pants were replaced with comfortable shorts, and she debated on throwing a shirt on over her sports bra before deciding that she was too hot from moving around for that right now. Normally she would be nervous of showing so much skin around her girlfriend, but there were more important things on Karina's mind for her to freak out over it right now. She didn't seem to care about showing the few scars she had. All of them were recent except for the huge one on her back that had obviously been there for years.
The younger of the teens sat down on her bed and sat with her legs crossed, pretty much how she normally would. "This is going to take a while to explain, you're going to want to sit down."

Perri climbed up on the bed and sat at the other end, stretching one of her legs out. After the ridiculous run from the alley she needed to stretch out a little. "Okay, start explaining. First, lemme take this," she said, grabbing the purse that Karina had sat on the bed. "I'm in serious need of my mirror. I'm sure my hair is a mess and I need everything to be as perfect as it should be before I get slammed with anything else," she said as she dug around in the purse and pulled out the mirror. In the midst of it she tucked the present down deeper. Once she finished fixing her hair, which had been a mess, she tucked the mirror away and gave Karina her full attention. "Now, get to explaining."

Karina took a deep breath once Perri gave her the go ahead. "So, it's no secret that Merry and I are adopted. We were born in New Tokyo, a city that's about as close to hell as earth can manage. I was four when we were pulled out, Merry was only one..." After that she went on to explain everything from the crime lord Jun, to the Ghost experiments, everything that she knew based off of what she had heard from Satoru and Kiyoko.
"I tried so hard to hold back on it for years," she continued, voice getting quieter with every word. "I don't want to, but..." She stopped herself and sighed. "No. I do want to, but I don't want to hurt the people I care about, or anyone innocent for that matter." She frowned and looked down at her lap. "That's what the experiments do, I guess. Perfect soldiers can't hesitate to kill. So I found a compromise... Then yeah. You know the rest." She waited patiently for Perri's response, knowing it was a lot to take in.

Karina sat stunned. Even with all that had happened to her family, this was way bigger. She sat staring at the comforter of the bed, processing it all. As Karina had told her all of it a rock like feeling had settled in the pit of her stomach. She looked up and gave her a half smile. "Well, my girlfriend is certainly a bad-ass..." she joked, laughing humorously. She looked down and shook her head. "Why didn't you tell me any of this sooner? This is huge. Beyond huge. I may have been able to help. You know, sew a cool costume or something," she said, joking a little at the end but it was colored with hurt.

Karina couldn't even get herself to laugh at Perri's attempt for jokes. This topic was a heavy one, and it still made her feel uncomfortable to think about sometimes. "Well I only really found out a few weeks ago." She admitted, frowning. "Before that, I just thought I was going crazy. If I told someone about it then it would have only made things harder. Besides, I had done really well holding back on it, so I was starting to think it was stopping. I guess it was just dormant because the moment I actually discovered what was... What I was, it... It just got to be too much."
She looked up at Perri and shrugged. "Besides, what's the best way to explain to someone I love that I was literally created to kill?" Without them reacting badly, that was. She pulled her knees to her chest and hugged them, resting her chin on top. "It's still new for me. I mean, my whole life was decided for me before I was even born. I wasn't even meant to have this life, it was just a fluke..." Who knew what she'd be like if she had stayed in New Tokyo? She didn't even want to think about that.

Perri picked at a non-existent string at her waist. "I understand," she really did, no matter how hurt she still felt. She couldn't help it. She knew it was stupid for the hurt and she wished she didn't feel that way. "You would have told me though... right?" she muttered.

Karina closed for a moment at that question, now that was a big one. "...Eventually I would have tried, yes." She admitted after a while. "Just scared of what you'd think of me." She didn't want Perri to be scared of her, or think of her differently in any way.
"I'm still me, you know." The younger teen continued, trying to smile a little. "I still like bluebirds, I still get flustered easily, and I still love you." She blushed as she said that, and looked over at the blond hopefully.
