[Karkat, welcome to having your personal space suddenly violated. PM grabs his shirt and yanks him close, leaning down to speak with him, eye to eye. Her voice has dropped to a low hiss to try and avoid causing a scene, trembling as though under an effort to not to try and throw him across the room.] Don't you dare act like we've all given up! Someone very dear to me was lost by the stabilizer because he was trying to find a way home, only days ago!
He was organizing this ball for all of us to have fun, so stop acting like we can't do both!
