[There are still a few things that will never change when it comes to Akagi. Yet, when compared to her prior self, she is markedly different, of a more sound and calm mind. There are still cracks that are unlikely to ever really go away completely. But Akagi is better, like Kaga said.

More in control of herself and less ready to give her more possessive nature. Or her own delusions. Yes, Akagi is better, but it came at a painful cost that nearly cost her everything.]

You act as if I wasn't before.

[She knows she wasn't, but she is now. And she's with her now, with her sister. Heads butted together and a shaky giggle from Akagi. The Akagi here might just be another form of herself (the idea isn't new or odd, given the nature of the Wisdom Cube that makes up all KAN-SEN), yet she is still her, just like Kaga is still her.

Akagi wouldn't let the tears fall, not just yet. Those are for later in private. She is still as proud as always.]

Good... good. It's important for the strong to help others, right~?

[Her tone became warmer, more jovial as she repeated Kaga's usual lines, the silly, foolish, wonderful, social Darwinist. Her beloved Kaga-- Akagi will find out the whole story about her arm later and who will suffer and if she should... well... that's all for the future.]

Now, why don't we find you another drink, dear sister?

[Came her next words, still soft and uplifting, or as much as she her voice could be with as hoarse and tight as her throat feels. While her hands still stroked Kaga lovingly, tails moving to entwine with hers.]
