What's wrong with Brera?  Why did he attack Grace?

And why does he say I'm in danger?

[Her tone is quiet, almost not there.]

Just... stay where you are. Even if... Just stay away from him.

[voice]

Grace, don't talk right now! You have to get help! I'm calling the ambulance right now so just hold on until they get there, okay?

[voice]

My implants are quite rugged. They'll... [Sudden growl of pain, as if talking aggravates an injury.] Keep me going.

[voice]

[movinghair.livejournal.com]

But they can't keep you going forever!

[voice]

[implantsgrace.livejournal.com]

[Quiet, not in pain but recognition,] You're right. My apologies.

[voice]

[movinghair.livejournal.com]

Don't be sorry. Just try to hold on until they get there. They should be on the way right now.

[voice]

[implantsgrace.livejournal.com]

Very well. [Pause...] Stay safe.

[He's pretty frustrated at this point but he would never take it out on her.]

Because you are.

[Video forever]

[movinghair.livejournal.com]

From who? From the Vajra?

[Video forever]

[needsnograce.livejournal.com]

Yes. No.

No. It's more complicated than that.

[He's clearly agitated.]

It's Grace. You can't trust her, Ranka.

[brera isn't himself, she knows that. it has something to do with the community; so many strange people with yellow eyes that put everyone in danger. how much could be trusted?

she would still listen to what he had to say only because he was brera.]

She's never done anything that would make me not trust her.

[Video forever]

[needsnograce.livejournal.com]

Because she wants you to trust her. She wants to be able to use you as easily as she used me and Sheryl.

[Just talking about it makes him angry. But he needs to keep calm so that Ranka will believe him. It's so important that she at least hears what he's saying. So important.]

[Video forever]

[movinghair.livejournal.com]

But why? She's known Sheryl-san for a long time and you two never seemed to fight. What could she use me for?

[ranka doesn't want to consider the possibility that it could be her connection to the vajra. she just can't.]

[cannotbelieve.livejournal.com]

There's weird stuff going on. This happened last year.

[movinghair.livejournal.com]

It's horrible.

[cannotbelieve.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I can't even do anything. You need one of those Persona things to fix it.

[movinghair.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can't physically do something and it hurts because you see people hurting, but as long as you trust in them, that they'll be okay then you can say you didn't just abandon them. That's better than doing nothing.

[cannotbelieve.livejournal.com]

You think?

[movinghair.livejournal.com]

Mhmm.

[curajas.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, Ranka...!

[movinghair.livejournal.com]

None of this makes sense.

[curajas.livejournal.com]

No, it doesn't. At least you're acting normally.

[movinghair.livejournal.com]

But not Brera. I'm worried about him and Grace.

[curajas.livejournal.com]

We shouldn't get involved in that, Ranka.

[movinghair.livejournal.com]

He called me out by name; I'm the only one that he doesn't seem angry at. There has to be some sort of connection, right?
