[ yeah, that - hurts. lup curls close too, on the other side. ]
We're almost done. And she'll be back. All the teams have done what they're supposed to, you know? So we'll be able to bring the dead back, and you'll see her again.
[He doesn't wanna, like, smother her with himbo, so he loosens his hold without going away completely. One of his arms slips around Lup's shoulders, too.]
We are, too. I think all of us are tired, so you aren't alone in that. She'll be waiting on you when we bring them back.
[ honestly, who wouldn't want to be smothered in himbo?
but she stays where she is, comfortably, settled against ange. ]
You know my thoughts on this whole thing, I think. [ she tells ange, with a little smile. ] It's not exactly comforting to be like, you know, wow! This sucks! Guess we just have to keep going even though we're tired!
Like, you can take the night off from keeping on. It's fine. We've both got you.
[Ange looks between them slowly... and then she just nods a little, letting her good eye flutter shut.]
... I feel as though you are both supporting me so much, so often. But, selfishly... I will accept it again.
[A long pause.]
There are some things I would like to tell both of you... when this is all over. When we make it through... I hope I will get the chance to thank you that way.

He'll give Ange the opportunity to let them in, and once inside, he'll gently deposit Ange onto the bed. Then he'll kneel down next to it.]
Here you go, Miss Ange. Do you need anything...?

You can boss us around all you want tonight.

And then she looks at her hand in her lap.]
... I do not know, truly. ... No, wait.
[She shakes her head, looking between them.]
Can... can I ask you both something...?
no subject
[He glances at Lup curiously, and then back to Ange. His expression softens.]
Yes. You can ask us anything, Miss Ange.
no subject
Of course. Hit us.

What... should I do now?

Ange...
[He leans up a bit so he can carefully wrap his arms around her shoulders.]
We keep going, Miss Ange. We're almost finished.

So Blanca's right. We keep going.

If she just pretends like tomorrow isn't going to happen--
But she can't do that, can she? Tomorrow will come no matter what.]
... Right. I suppose... that is all any of us can do. Keep going... no matter what happens.
I... am very tired of it.
