"Why are you still doing this, Sylia?  Wasn't what happened
enough for you?"  Tears began to flow down Nene's cheeks as she looked
at her friend.  "Why?"
        Sylia turned to face out the window.  Her soup lay untouched
on the table as she spoke.
        "I do what I do because I must, Nene.  What any of us would
do, in the same situation."
        "That's the same excuse you used last time," Nene noted
bitterly, wiping at her tears.
        "Nene, that's not fair-" Sylia began.  Nene stood, shaking in
anger.
        "Fair?!  Sylia, is _this_ fair?"  One finger flashed upwards
to point at her cheek, previously hidden by shadow from Sylia's view.
A long scar stood out on the delicate cheekbones, running from over
Nene's left eye to just above the point of her chin, narrowly missing
her lips.  Sylia gasped as Nene continued.

I'm not sure exactly why Nene is so upset, given that Sylia is only 
putting herself on the line this time.  Or does she think that Sylia has 
3 replacements waiting in the wings?
