Caroline... please come out to talk to me...
-Aria goes and sits back down beside her, looking satisfied-
Aria... Arrrreeeeeyaaaa...
Aria!
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?…
(Silence for a few moments.)
(The door opens.)
(A huge lug
◊ with some kind of energy weapon built into its arm points its energy weapon-arm right at the interloper's face.)
Identify Yourself
…
(Slowly stands, rising to where the sapling isn't obscuring all of her again.)
Don't get too close, though, the badness...
(Can't but giggle a bit.)
...I-I choooosthe it b-because it's— it's beautiful... l-like you...
…

(take... bite...)
(Weak nod.)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019Ah-
(It's... a girl! A really beautiful
◊ girl, at that...)
(The girl introduces herself as... er...)
(She trails off, looking away shyly.)

-Aria grins back to her-
I never would have thought of it without you, though... thank you.
No, it won't. It's okay.
If we talk, it might get better. Maybe.

(DOORSLAM)
(...Goodness, what a rude fellow.)
...I-it's nothhhhing...
(Looks wistful, as always, but genuinely quite happy.)
…
...How could it get better, though...?
…
(Slowly eats the sandwich, looking sickly and rather uncomfortable at the ogling.)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019Because I want— because you need to listen to me and talk to me. Because I'm mad and I'm sad and I don't know what to do without you...
I think... I think I need new hair... and clothes... I want to look more like Aria... not like Yvette... I like Yvette, though, but... she deserves to be just Yvette. The only one.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...I don't know what to do without you either...
(Is kind of wringing her hands, but they're in her hair, so she's also wringing her hair.)
...But I'm dangerous and do dangerous things, and you could get hurt again...
…
...Mmm... I-I d-don' know... m-much about fffffashion...
(Clumsy head-scratch.)
(...hoooboy, now there's four of that guy and his gun, all swarmed to the door.)
(Though there looks like there might be a lady behind them in the room...? Hard to see over them, but she seems to be doing something on a table.)
Well? Did that freak send you?
...no... I... I just feel very drained, still...
(slow eating...)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019I know things have gone bad. A-and you've done bad things... and I'm mad... but I need to be mad with you. Being mad by myself, it— it's awful. I tried it last night, and none of it worked and... and I really missed you...
I want to talk about how— how mad you made me. And how sad I am. Can you come out so I can do that?
That's okay, one step at a time...
...
It feels strange. Transforming all the way, like that.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...Park Sung-chul... and yours...?
(munch... munch...)
…
(One of them lunges for the girl, trying to drub her over the head with his gun-arm.)
…
(Nod nod. Steps out from behind the sapling, sniffling a bit.)
...Y-you were so—... it... it was amazzzthing... h-how did you d-do that...?

(Take comfort in this, Caroline.)
(Wherever Link is... he's probably going to kick Claudia Prime's ass as hard as he can. Straightforward, and no deception.)
(Meanwhile, Claudia Prime hears a knocking on her door...)
