[ There's a wave of.. what exactly? Maybe it's just downright happiness at those words, to know he's coming over and that she can see him and it'll be okay. She's not even worried about the wound anymore (she wasn't really worried to start with, but still), moreso about the situation itself.

But.. of course he has to ask the awkward question, and there's a very noticable awkward silence before she answers. ]

The one who stabbed me.. That was you, onii-chan. [ Well, it wasn't him, but rather some sort of.. weird life-like illusion of him, but she wants to hear his reaction first. Her tone definitely doesn't sound accusatory, though, because she knows it couldn't have been him. There's no way. ]

[ Once again, Battler has to stop at those words. It was him? ... That can't be right. That definitely can't be right. Because he'd definitely never do that -- because he'd remember if he had done something like that.

No-- that.... He's heard wrong. That's it, isn't it? ]

... Sorry. What?

... I said that it was you who did that to me.

[ She's trying to keep her voice as steady as possible, but it's difficult when thinking back on it, on that moment - more scary than anything, the very idea of her smiling brother plunging a knife into her gut, even if it wasn't him. She's still sure. ]

But it wasn't really you, right? I know you wouldn't do something like that, onii-chan, so.. [ her voice can't help but shake just slightly. ] .. please tell me it wasn't really you, just like I thought..

Like Hell-- the last thing I would do is hurt anyone important to me! Especially not you, Ange...! It had to have been someone else! ... Dammit. I'll find the person who did this-- I definitely will! [ He wouldn't seriously hurt them, but he might give them a good punch to the face n_n ]

I won't let the bastard who hurt you, or anyone else like this get away with it.

[ ... Yeah. Hearing that is a relief - not the fact that he seems so determined to find out who did it, but just the fact that he's denying it. Of course it wasn't really him, even if they were identical. It was some stupid trick, of course. She almost smiles at the bracelet when she speaks up again. ]

It's fine, onii-chan. Don't worry about it too much. Instead of you finding the person who's responsible for this.. I'd rather just see you right now. That much is fine.

[ His voice softens at that ] ... Yeah, I got it. I'll be there in no time, Ange.

It's [ insert room number here.. ] in the hospital in Sigyn. .. I'll be waiting.

[ So she turns off the feed over the bracelets, instead just settling in in her bed to wait for him. The wound wasn't too deep or terrible to begin with, just enough to get her to her knees before, so she won't have to stay well, but.. if Battler's coming by, she might as well enjoy it for the time being. So Ange waits. ]

[ Battler does hurry to the hospital, so he is a bit out of breath when he gets there, but he really does make it in a short amount of time. He wanted to see if she was okay for himself ] Ange!

... onii-chan.

[ There's almost something awkward about seeing him now, after what happened, but she knows she just has to shake off that memory, especially since all of it was fake. Even if the wound is real, the rest might as well have been an illusion. The one standing here now is her real older brother, the one who would never hurt her, who must have hurried considering he's even a little out of breath.

So she smiles, despite the circumstances, and sits up a little more. ]

Thank you for coming.

[ He shakes his head quickly, going to her side. Even if it wasn't him, it still must have been traumatizing. ] ... I'm sorry. Dammit... If I would've been there-- this wouldn't have happened.

You can't always be by my side, right? [ She doesn't blame him, not in the slightest - she didn't even blame him when she saw it was him who stabbed her, since her immediate reaction was some sort of self-defense mechanism to keep her from freaking that said it wasn't him. ]

Besides, even Amakusa wasn't there, and he's the one who's supposed to prevent this from happening to me. If it's anyone's fault, it's this place's.

... Yeah, that's true, isn't it? Isn't he your bodyguard? Where exactly was he, anyways?

Even so, I'm your big brother, Ange. ... Bodyguard, or no, I'll be here more--I swear to that!

You don't have to promise something like that, onii-chan.. [ Even if it does really make her happy to hear that, even if it's something she really wants.. that would be selfish, right? He has a game to finish back home. ]

I mean, this happened to me, and.. well, I'm fine, right?

[ Just still a little traumatized over seeing her older brother stabbing her, but she's good at hiding everything always. ]

I'm happy that you're alright now, but... sorry. Whether you like it or not, your Onii-chan's going to watch over you more and more! Ihihihi! [ yes, he's kind of half teasing but he's completely serious with his promise. ]

[ well, at least she doesn't mind the half teasing in this situation - it actually makes her feel a little bit better after everything to see him just being himself so much rather than the one who stabbed her. ]

Then you'll have to take me out to ice cream sometime if there's somewhere in this place they sell that, okay? That's the most important part of it. [ it's okay, she's half teasing as well.. maybe even more than just half. ]

If not ice cream, how about something else? They gotta have something here, even if this place is colorless!

I guess it doesn't matter what exactly it'll be.. as long as we're going together, I'm sure anything will be delicious.

That's true, isn't it? Everything seems a ton better when you're with someone important.

[ okay, this is getting embarassingly sappy for her.. and close to the tsun field.. but then again, this is Battler, and he always has some sort of special exclusion from the tsun field. ... well, most of the time, either way. ]

Yeah. One of the reasons I'm able to bear this place is since I have a chance to see you again here, onii-chan. Back home I wasn't even able to tell you my name..

[ oh... his expression softens quite a bit at that. it's the same for him--because he was able to be with everyone, and see them... well... alive.... he's hasn't been in as big as a rush as he probably should to leave. but battler's never been all that responsible in the first place ] No matter what, I'll stay here with you as long as possible.

... Me too. I want to stay here like this.. for as long as possible. So it's a promise.

[ well, at this point she also thinks she has nothing else to go back to, but all the same, being in a place with people she normally wouldn't be able to see from back home is always the better alternative. ]

Then, I'll be at your side as much as possible until then.

[ Though we all know how Battler is with promises... but he is really very determined to try to keep it -- as much as possible. Though, he knows that here, it can't be helped too much. Still, Battler was never one to go down in anything without a fight. ]

Lucky for us, the Gods seem pretty fond of us, huh?

[ Hey, post-ep4 she's still all belief in him, okay. So she's willing to hold onto this, especially since it's all she has left. ]

Well, we've always been popular with types like that. [ witches, gods, what's the difference. ]

That's true, isn't it? Maybe we have that old fart to blame for our luck.

What, you're saying it's all genes from dad? I didn't know he was popular with those types, I thought only with women.
