No, she definitely did ask for this, right? She shouldn't have asked him that question, not even in any rhetorical sort of way, because of course Shiro would give such a sappy answer to it. The kind of answer that makes it hard for Ange to even hold the other's gaze, instead letting her own gaze drop, staring at her shoes like they're suddenly the most interesting thing in the world.
"We promised to stay together," she mumbles. "Back in Deerington already."
And she knows it's not that easy. There are plenty of people who promised to stick with her, and now they're all gone. Disappeared in Deerington, going home rather than moving on to Trench, walking back into the sea here.
She knows it's not that easy, and yet--
"I'm just doing my best to live up to that promise. I can't let Ruby down."
At least her voice is a little softer now. Less dismissive, especially since there's emotion sneaking its way in there, showing a bit more of Ange's true feelings rather than just the embarrassment of a moment ago.
