[ .. It happens so often when they talk, right? The more she hears about Ririchiyo, the more Ange always realises they really are the same in a lot of ways. They both closed themselves off to other people out of fear of getting hurt or lied to again - they just did it in different ways, either by being rude or being completely apathic, but.. it's not what they really want. Something as simple as a friendship like this.. it's maybe just what they needed all along, Ange realises that much. ]

I'd hope it's different from being lovers. [ It's a joke, and for once instead of only saying it in a deadpan tone, she even manages to crack a small smile at it. ] But.. yeah, you're right. Having friends or family.. it's almost the same, the difference is that with family you're connected by blood. But it's the same feeling, the feeling of.. belonging somewhere.
