WHO: Natalia Belova and Makar Peotrovich Ilyin
WHAT: Makar makes his first kill.
WHEN: Just a bit ago, as the Shlisselburg fell.

( the first kill is always special )

[St. Petersburg Seals, Russian]

I just got home. Do you know when or if something's going to happen yet?

[Private, Russian]

...oh, Vanya, you didn't, now he's going to come after you and it will be all my fault!

...I won't let it happen. Even if it means my life, I won't lose another family member so soon. Or ever.

[Filtered to Makar, in Russian]

So this is how it works, huh.

This is Natalia's brother Ivan. I'd like to have a word with you.

[Filter: St. Petersburg Seals, Russian]

I forgot to mention last time, if you need me to come back, I can be on the next train as soon as possible.

[Private, Russian]

I almost hope I have to fight. Anything to distract myself from this.

[St. Petersburg Seals, Russian]

...my grandfather died a few days ago.

I'm going to be out of the city for a few weeks, the funeral is in Moscow. I'll be leaving tomorrow.

he was doing so much better

how could this happen?! it's...this has to be a bad dream, it just has to!

[Private, Russian]

Grandpa's been having one of his better weeks.

Maybe now would be a good time to tell them what's going on.

[Private, Russian]

I hate this. I wish I'd never been involved, it's not fair. I don't want to leave home, I don't want Mama and Papa and Vanya to go away, I don't want to fight anymore.

I have no choice, though, and I promised Vanya I would. I can't let them down.

...if sending them away is the only way...we have family in Poland, right?

Who: Natalia + NPC!Brother
When: Tonight
What: Natalia tells her brother something important.
Warning: ANGST plus borderline incest if you look for it.

( But how long are you going to hide it from them? Until an Angel appears on your doorstep to slaughter them all? )
