Avia/Yamiko took a deep breath and let it out sharply.
"If you have to ask, I'm not going to bother telling you because the answer should be obvious." Her gaze flicked down at him. "You are the biggest idiot I've ever met in the entirety of either of my lives. If I had my way, I wouldn't have rushed out there to find you but unfortunately there's still a part of me that cares for you, and that part is just enough to keep me from allowing myself to let you get yourself killed even if it might teach you some semblance of a lesson on how to not be fucking stupid, but then I realized, 'no, Brandon will always be a complete moron, it's just who he is.'" She spoke quickly and precisely, then huffed once more. "There aren't words for how much I hate you right now, but I'll have you know, that is miniscule compared to the hatred I feel for myself. You've done nothing to put my mind at ease. You thought I was having an identity crisis before? I don't even know what to call myself now! I don't know my own name, I don't know what kind of repugnant being I've become, I don't know if I can trust my own memories because all of them seem familiar and foreign at the same time!" Her voice cracked and she raked her fingers through her hair, her bottom lip trembling and her face flushed.
"I just-- I hate you so much, but I love you as well, and I would protect you with my life but I want to wring your fucking neck. You couldn't possibly fathom what I'm feeling right now, so just don't even ask." She pawed at her eyes, not looking at him, and stood, striding away from him. Djinn caught up with her, handed her a mug of hot chocolate, and took her back down the hall.

It was Keahi's turn to come over and sit. He sat down next to Brandon and placed a glass of water down for him.
"I'm still trying to convince myself that what we just did was right. I have a bad feeling about the coming days. If Araxie is right, there's no way you stand a chance against whatever evil is coming the way you are now. You must hone your skills further, Brandon. But more importantly, I need you to look after my sister. You will need her help just as much as she will need yours." He stood once more, leaving the glass of water. "There is a place for you at the complex if you wish, but it may be wise to make amends with the individuals you met today first. Especially the beanpole girl with the blue hair. She's going to be pissed."
