[ There are a few slight moments of silence - perhaps, if you listen closely enough, you can hear some slight sounds of nature from the forest's edge in the background - before a girl speaks up with a quite deadpan (and calm, considering the situation) tone. ]

Am I being reduced to this again this soon already? I really must be popular with all of you witches. So, which one of you do I have the honor of dealing with this time? Bernkastel again, or even that Featherine witch? ... Either way, you can come out and start laughing now. If you're looking for your cue, this is it.

[ She pauses for a moment, as if she actually does expect someone to pop up. But when it doesn't happen, she just continues talking. ]

It's pretty inconsiderate to let someone waiting after dragging them in, you know. Although I guess I should expect as much from the lot of you.

And what's up with these wings? 'Sure, let's give her pink wings this time just to see the look on her face, ahahaha' or whatever, right? I'm not laughing, but surely you predicted as much.

... Any normal person would start to think I'm going insane by now, like I'm talking to myself. Ah.. it's useless, it's all useless. Does anyone who's not me feel like speaking up already?

Yeah. Witches are fickle after all. You'll never know when she'll suddenly change her mind.

Hey, Ange if you're feeling all right we should find some place to live.

I don't think we'll be leaving for a while.

Yeah. Don't worry about me, onii-chan.. I'm just fine. [ She's just worried about you, bro!! ] So I'm all up for it.

Do you know where to find some housing here?

[OMG NO STOP WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF ]

There should be some empty rooms in the community buildings. Wanna check it out?

[ > implying Ange ever worries about herself ]

Sure. [ She pauses for a moment, but.. there might just be a tiny smile on her face. ]

It might be sort of strange at first, huh? Actually living together now.. I don't mind being able to spend more time with you at all though.

[Listen to your onii chan]

You're my little sister. There's nothing strange about an older brother wanting to take care of his younger sister.

We can talk more after we settle in.

[He's gonna hold your hand now. C'mon imouto let's go..!]

[ Holding hands with onii-chan... o///o ]

Yeah, I'm sure we'll have plenty of time for that sort of thing.. It doesn't seem like this place gives up on the people it captures easily. At this rate, we might even get bored enough to start playing card games or whatever.

[Doki doki! They're going into the apartments now....]

Unfortunately, that's how it goes. We can make the most of it though.

Sounds fun! I'll teach you how to play poker!

You're rather enthuastic. Do you really think you can beat my pokerface? [ She's teasing.. probably.. ]

Very funny!

[He chuckles nervously. (unsure)
]

Ange, have you even heard of the game before? It's okay if you haven't.

Of course I've heard of poker before. I at least have some common sense, you know.

... That doesn't mean I've ever actually played it before. [ BECAUSE SHE HAS NO FRIENDS TO PLAY WITH.. foreveralone.jpg ]

I'll let you give it a shot.

Are you going to accept my challenge?

Of course. Do you really I'd still back away by now? I'll have enough time to practise the game in here, I bet.

Cool.

I'll let you try as many times as you like. But don't worry I won't go easy on you just because you're my little sister.

You don't have to go easy on me, you know. I bet I can learn it very quickly, and perhaps the tables will have been turned by then.

... So, did you have any particular floor or room in mind? Seems like we can just take one that isn't occupied.

We'll see about that.

...Hm, I'd prefer some place quiet. We can't get a good nights sleep if our neighbors are too loud.

How does the tenth room on the second floor sound to you?

I doubt people are such party animals here. Or that there are many parties to be had here in the first place.

[ ... You know, not that she'll every care about parties. Or having fun. Ew. ]

Hmm, it's fine with me. Seems like these apartments should be big enough for the both of us.

There's nothing wrong with having a little fun every now and then.

Yeah. I'm not too concerned about the room size, but this should do.

[Walking to their rooms now...]

Oh, so you're going to enter the race to become Luceti's number one party animal, onii-chan? [ DEADPANNING DEADPANNING YEAH FUN FUN FUN FUN ] Good luck with that.

[ Walking up the stairs, walking up the stairs.. ]

No. I'm not going to do that.

I still have things I need to take care of.

[now we have to fall down them

but no seriously they're on the next floor now]

Things to take care of..? [ She frowns slightly in surprise. ]

... Ah, wait.. Onii-chan, what's the last thing you remember from back home? You.. don't think it's strange at all to see me again?

[ it

keeps

happening ]

Luceti is a fragment that draws in people from other fragments. If I ended up here it's not all that strange for you to be as well.

....[His expression darkens for a moment.]

Furudo Erika and I were in the middle of an important game. We were fighting with everything we had.

But Ange I...

[There's a pause. Battler sounds like he's about to cry. He just winces and looks away.]

I lost.

[ Furudo Erika.. Then that meant the fifth or sixth game, right? Unless Bernkastel - she was from the future too, after all, she had told Ange that much - had put Erika back in for another game, but Ange doubts that considering the end of the sixth. But.. when did Battler lose..?

And she knows that expression, she can sense that sadness - he's her older brother after all. She grabs one of his arms with her hand, a worried expression on her face. ]

You lost..? What happened?

Erika got the upper hand on me. Then Bernkastel exposed Beatrice's heart...

[There's something that sounds like a sob coming out of him. Not gonna bother hiding his feelings.]

How could you do that to Beato? Bitch...

[ Exposed.. Beatrice's heart? She doesn't know what that means - perhaps Bernkastel has told him something about the future as well, but the other part.. ]

What are you talking about, onii-chan? You beat Erika, right?! Even with all those logic battles, you came out on top in all of them in the end!

H-Huh...?

What are you saying all of a sudden? I haven't done such a thing. I was trapped inside the logic error and then I found myself here.

At the end of the fourth game Beatrice entrusted me with her heart.

She trusted me but I let her down...

[Battler started sobbing in Ange's chest.]

I can't even apologize to her properly!
