Too many horror films?

[Youji isn't dismissing the possibility that this is simply a nightmare, but he's not dismissing the possibility that it isn't, either. Isabelle's too young for him, yes, but she's still a young girl and he hates the thought of her being distressed.]

[nolessthanseven]

[less distressed, and more irritated; either way, she regards him silently for a moment, wondering if she'll ever get used to people waking her up with phone calls in the middle of the night, then shrugs.]

I guess I've got my little brother to blame for that.

[slantedcross]

[Irritated is at least an improvement. Youji's tone is wry.]

That's good. Having someone to blame always helps me.

[nolessthanseven]

It'd be better if I could actually blame him for any of this. I haven't seen him in ages.

[slantedcross]

[He softens, but it's barely perceptible.]

Careful. He might end up here. It isn't unheard of.

[nolessthanseven]

[she chuckles to herself]

Then the whole family will be here. Except Mom and Dad.

[slantedcross]

Not sure whether to congratulate or pity you on that.

[nolessthanseven]

Probably pity me. He's too young for a place like this.

[slantedcross]

[She doesn't look old enough for this herself, but then, Youji knows assassins who started their careers at 11.]

I don't think any of us are really ready to deal with all of this.

[nolessthanseven]

Yeah, I guess so. Some more than others...but it's not like someone can be prepared for everything this place throws at us.
