[Okay well if we're having this conversation now then bring it, Aubrey will have a fucking conversation, yelled, furious for everyone to hear.]

She did!

She listened every single day! She did everything you asked!

How much of herself did she have to throw away to make you happy? Why wasn't it ever enough for you?!!

You don't give a shit about her! You don't care who she is or what she wants - you just care about your stupid image of a perfect life with a perfect little doll!

I don't care if she's a mess. I don't care if she never becomes anything big or great. She could be a peasant instead of a princess--

I don't care. And if you're going to try to keep her away from us, I will find her!

I'm not letting another friend die alone!

...

The stifling feeling of being watched leaves Aubrey, and something gently squeezes her shoulder. KAITO's light shines brightly.

You did good. She's gone, for now. ... Thank you. For being her friend.

[She startles at the touch, a little breathless after all of that enraged screaming. But that feeling of being watched is gone now, which means there's no one left to yell at, which means - she pauses for a moment, breathes in slow and deep to regain her calm somewhat.]

...I don't need thanks for that.

[All she wants is to be there for Mafuyu when she needs it most--

To actually make it time, just this once.

She scrubs the tears from her eyes with her arm and steels herself to continue on.]
