[As the feed turns on, a blue haired woman comes into view. Her breathing is heavy while there is some sweat dripping down her face. To most people, it would appear as though she just ran a marathon.] My, I do hope that this contraption works.

Then suddenly... Wait, could this be...?!]

So when that voice reaches her ears, it startles her and makes her head snap in that direction.]
Ruca!
[Momentarily, the exhaustion is forgotten as she rushes over to the boy.]

Ange! You have no idea how glad I am to see you.

Yes, I am glad to see you as well. Are you alright?

Yeah, I'm okay. [What happened before she arrived here?] ...Why are you asking?

I see. [He looks apologetic.] I'm... really sorry for what had happened there... [Still there'll be a few things he'll have to explain.

At the very least, I am glad that you are alright.

Why, oh why was he so stupid and did all of this...]
...Ange, I... [Should he apologize to her? He already knows nobody was blaming him for anything, but still...]

Ange's expression hardens a bit. There is no way she will allow that sort of thinking.]
Now Ruca, you cannot possibly be attempting to apologize for what occurred, can you?
