[The dream is one that is all too familiar to her. Even if this is more dream than memory - facts distorted and shaped into a nightmare of his own personal making - she still feels everything that Oz does, reliving that event on her own. By the end of it, she's shut her eyes and covered them with her hands, swallowing painfully as she tries not to break down crying. Which is why she doesn't realize he's woken and ends up yelling to him:]

V-Vessalius! Wake up you fool!

[timeticksaway]

[ Oz stirs, gripping the Dreamberry loosely, hands a bit shaky, so the camera itself shakes. ]

Hah... Oh...

What's wrong?

[stfuelly]

What's wrong?! Did you honestly just ask me--! [One hand uncovers her eyes, but only so that it can slam down on the table.]

That dream! Can't you keep from letting your feelings spill out like that?!

[Ignoring the fact that she already knows it's impossible to keep these things from ending up being shown on the devices no matter what.]

[timeticksaway]

[ Oz flinches. This anger must run in the Nightray family, then. With Eliot, Vincent... and now her, too. This streak - ]

I didn't know it would be broadcasted. [ an almost flat response ]

[stfuelly]

That's - that's no excuse! Next time be quicker about erasing things like this!

[timeticksaway]

You can't erase them. Heh...If only it were that simple, huh.

[stfuelly]

Stop making excuses and--! Ugh! Such a typical answer from someone like you!

[timeticksaway]

.... [ And here comes the silence for a beat, two, three... ]

Someone like me?

[stfuelly]

Yes, you! The filthy heir to the Vessalius house. How my brother can look at you with anything less than contempt is completely beyond me!

[But there's no strength behind her words, and only fear in her tone.]

[timeticksaway]

[ It doesn't really matter what tone it is - because he's so fragile right now after watching that - that he winces. You'reasin. Younevershouldhavebeenborn. ]

Miss Nightray sounds like she knows a lot about me, then!

[stfuelly]

[That makes two of them. This anger should be easy to reign in, but all she can hear are those words 'She's dead! My sister is dead!' ringing in her ears again and again.]

Don't patronize me, child!

[timeticksaway]

[ A battle to see who is stronger - and ultimately, who is weaker. ]

I may be a child, but that doesn't mean anything.

[stfuelly]

It means that you should learn your place! All of this is your fault! If we hadn't had to be there--the headhunter wouldn't have come back! It would have ended!

[And she shuts up there because any more and she really would start crying. She realizes the fallacy in her words, but she also won't take them back.]

[timeticksaway]

[ He's going to control the small fit of rage and depression that loomed behind him - he could do this, he really could, with a cool and level tone, but one that could easily break at any given time: ]

The Headhunter is after the entire Nightray family. Gil, Break, and everyone else and I were trying to stop it.

[stfuelly]

[She shakes her head - no, there's no way that she's letting anything else change her mind. This rage has to be directed at something other than herself and her family. What would her father think if he knew for one second that she had turned any negative feelings on her own family?]

He'd gone away! He'd left us alone! And then you had to come back, bringing your misfortune with you!

[timeticksaway]

...Do you really believe that?

[ He wouldn't deny the misfortune, not one bit. A slight shudder at the words, but he remains strong, for now. ]
