Well, fucking fine then! I'll never go outside anymore! [Can't you see? Anemone looks very angry, and even though she looks up and attempts to think calmly, this, of course, does not work. So she goes back to just glaring.]

I'll just stay here, and I won't ever have fun! Who fucking cares about going outside? [At this point, she just tosses the

[Upon hearing her yell, he quickly tosses aside the files he was searching through, and rushes to the source. Of course, seeing Anemone fussing while tumbled over causes his worry to only intensify.]

What's... What happened?
Why are you saying all of this!?

[Dominic bends down, trying to help her up. A smart move, or perhaps not?]

[And in the midst of her tears, she kicks her one good leg and grabs her head tighter. Even though she's somewhat relieved that Dominic came in when she called, she's also suddenly irrationally angry that he came in after she shut her door.]

Dominic, help me!

[But instead of reaching for him, she smacks his arm.]

[Naturally, he reels back after being smacked, but without hesitation, he reaches for her again. After all, the many years of taking care of her had taught him to bear a few cuts and scratches here and there.]

Anemone, please calm down!

[He suddenly grabs the wheelchair, pushing it and the sobbing Anemone upright.]

Tell me what's wrong!

[She just shakes her head, still crying. Once the wheelchair's back up, she silences for a second, then just starts crying again, reaching for Dominic's jacket. She just wants a hug.]

[It seems Dominic picks up on the message, and so, he pulls her into a gentle yet firm embrace, softly hushing her; trying to get Anemone to calm down.]

...It's alright, Anemone. Everything will be alright.

[She just clings tightly for a little, sobbing a bit longer. Once she's able to stop, she just sniffs, wiping her eyes on his jacket.]

Wolfwood and Shinji got mad at me for going outside yesterday, because I ran into a cow.

[Still holding onto her, Dominic can't help but raise a brow at her words.]

...You ran... into... a cow?

W-well... it kind of came at me... but... I think it's one of Gumdrop's friends.

[Her fingers tightened on him, and she sniffled, looking up.] But it didn't even try to attack my chair! It just... ran at me, and then stopped. [Burying her face in his jacket again, she shook her head.]

[Sounding hesitant, Dominic continued to question the sniffling girl.]

...Wait-

So... you have a cow named Gumdrop, and you think the... cow that ran towards you... is one of its friends?

[He sighed then, patting her back. All of this information sounded rather strange to him; especially with the subject being cows of all things.]

Anemone, if it didn't run into you... why are you crying?

[Looking up at him, she nodded. At least he understood! That made, what... two people?

But at his question, she dropped her head again, rubbing her eyes with the back of one hand.]

B-because everyone thought... I was irresponsible for going out by myself... And Shinji and Wolfwood got mad... a-and Sorata's spell he put on me, it... [She looked up at Dominic, then began sobbing into his jacket once more.] If I get attacked, he takes the damage, and I don't want that, Dominic! I want him to take if oooooff!
