AN94(5);NPC-Light(3)Light||:Nothing, you just look a little distracted to me. +Is something on your mind? AN94(0)AN-94;NPC-Light(3)||:No. What are you implying? AN94(0);NPC-Light(0)Light||:Ever since Miss AK-12...signed off temporarily... +You've been feeling a little out of it. AN94(0)AN-94;NPC-Light(0)||:You're mistaken. +Besides, even if I were not at my best, I am still more than good enough. AN94(0);NPC-Light(3)Light||:Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to find fault with you. I'm just a bit concerned. +After all, all members of Task Force DEFY seem to share a really strong bond. AN94(0)AN-94;NPC-Light(3)||:Dolls don't really die.

NPC-Light(3)Light||:You and Miss AK-12 look very much like sisters to me. +I also have an elder sister, so when I see you, I can't help but see myself. AN94(0)AN-94;NPC-Light(3)||:You will not make your sister sad. AN94(0);NPC-Light(3)Light||:I hope not. AN94(0)AN-94;NPC-Light(3)||:Ange and K have been at this for years. It is only by sheer dumb luck that they have managed to survive for so long. +If you're afraid to die, you shouldn't be in this line of work. AN94(0);NPC-Light(0)Light||:I'm not afraid to die; I just don't want to break my sister's heart. AN94(0)AN-94;NPC-Light(0)||:If you wish to avoid that... +Then make sure you stay alive. Unlike 12, you cannot come back to life. AN94(0);NPC-Light(3)Light||:I've already done "that" once, and that's enough for me. +Not to mention... AN94(5)AN-94||BGM_Empty:...Hush.

AN94(0);NPC-Light(2)Light||:The bees? AN94(0)AN-94||:The bees. ()||:Light studies the spacious front yard again. +The bees that were buzzing around the rampant and untended flowerbeds just a while ago are now twitching limply on the ground, as if under the effect of some chemical. ()||AVG_20Winter_Knife_Whoosh:Whoosh! AN94(2)AN-94||:Watch out! ()||AVG_Cut_Watermelon:AN-94 shoves Light aside as a blur of gray slashes through the air, splitting the tree trunk that they've been using as cover right down the center.
