[the raw emotion in Fang's voice and movements jabs at Vanille's heart, and try as she might to stop it, she cannot resist the tears beginning to flow when Fang apologizes. when Fang's hand stops right before resting on her face, her body temperature suddenly rises, literal fire forming in her eyes. she unfurls her wings to beat them a couple of times, hissing as she chokes back sobs before she screeches,]

I need more than just a "sorry," Fang! I need you to mean it! I can't—I can't take the empty promises anymore! I can't see your damn dead body anymore!

[and then, she stops as she shrinks back. the sudden outburst shocks even her, and for a second, Vanille is frozen in place, eyes wet and wide. she quickly brings her hands to cover her mouth, heart beating out of her chest.]

Oh my god. I... I'm sorry. That was uncalled for.
