Somehow the best way for Luna to get rid of her aggression was to hit something—preferably a punching bag. Out of all the emotions, rage was the one she couldn't whelve into a bottle, and hope would hold for a while.
The brunette walked inside the gym and felt a slight breeze, causing her body to shiver. She looked around for the punching bags until she saw four hanging from the wall to the left of the gymnasium. She took a roll of bandages from her pocket that she had taken before she left her room. She wrapped them around her fists to protect them from the impact of the punching bag.

"I don't need you to care about me!" Luna yelled. "I'm an adult!"
"You're nineteen!"
"What difference does that make? You're only one year older than me, and you're already married to a man who's like two times your age!"
"Mark has nothing to do with this, Luna, and besides, I love him."
"Mark," Luna drug out his sister's husband's name, "is forty-five. That's a twenty-five-year-old difference."
