Jappleack's in a horrible state, and for a time, Kyouko can only stare, open-mouthed. It's JA's final action that finally snaps her out of her stupor. She suddenly grabs Jappleack by the neck.

"I told ya not ta waste food," she snarls. "Ya know what that is, what tha' means ta me." It's just a cracker. It's food Kyouko wouldn't have had when she was starving. It's food Kyouko wouldn't have given unless she trusted JA absolutely.

She breathes hard, still holding Jappleack. "An' ya gotta snap outta this or 'm gonna start hittin'. Cause yer one o'th'best ponies I know in Equestria, an' I don' give a damn wha ya think ya did, but s'not worth doin' whatever yer doin' ta yerself now."
