[ There's silence for quite a bit with just some quiet natural background noise, but then a gasp can clearly be heard. ] T-this place, where--? ... ... Heaven..?

[ The sound of someone standing up and then footsteps resounding against the stones. ]

But if it's heaven, then I.. ... Hmm.. [ The voice sounds a bit more doutful as the footsteps halt for a moment before continuing on. ]

Mom? [ The voice definitely sounds more excited. ] Mom! Mom, I'm here! It's me!

[ The excitement echoes away as she starts to sound a bit more insecure. The footsteps stop too, leaving a painful silence behind. ] Mom..? You're here, right? You're not hiding, are you..? You don't want to see me?

[ After a moment of silence she speaks up again. ] Dad? [ The voice gets softer and a tad more desperate too. ] Big bro?

I think you can get settled first, Nanako-chan. [He laughs fondly as he says it - the willingness to help is endearing.] We'll help out however we can. [Which is partially why he's carrying a sword around, but he'd rather not get into where he learned that.]

The most important thing is that you don't go out of the village alone, and that you always keep this - [Quick gesture to the rowan crown!] and this - [Quick gesture to the communicator!] with you all the time, okay?

Uh-huh! I'll make sure to watch out, so let's do our best!

[ She still thinks it's rather odd to see him walking around with a sword like that, but if things are really as dangerous here as he says they are it's for a good reason. But it still seems weird and she can't help but ask. ]

Big bro, do you have to fight sometimes..? [ She looks rather pouty at the idea of that; she doesn't want him to have to fight. It's dangerous. ]

[Damn.

He looks down at her for a moment, wondering how best to answer that. Because in all honesty, he's been fighting for a long time. But she can't know that. Not yet, at least. But the idea of lying to her so plainly is beyond what he's willing to do.]

There are people here that need protecting, [He squeezes her hand lightly as he says it.] and I want to protect them however I can. We look out for each other.

[ She stares into the distance for a moment, thinking about it. Then she finally nods to herself and then to him as she understands. ]

That's just like you, big bro! [ She proclaims it with a large smile. ]

But.. you'll be careful, right?

[He returns her smile, his voice solid and confident - reassuring.]

I promise.
