[ At least Kainé's answer here makes Ange feel like she at least understands something here. Maybe not the main idea, maybe Kainé can't see why this is the only solution to their situation in Trench that works, but she's not dismissing every single part of what Ange just said.

It's what gets the girl to reply in the first place. And honestly, at that. ]

Magic was just a delusion to me. [ The words are harsh, but they're not aimed at anything other than herself. Even before this corruption she felt like such a different person that looking back on herself from a few years ago just feels strange now. ] It was just an illusion I used to pretend I wasn't absolutely miserable.

[ ... Ange exhales, and then shakes her head, something of the heavy emotion sliding off her shoulders into the more calm attitude she showed before as well. ]

But it's no longer like that anymore. Magic is real here. And this magic-- It's born from me and Ruby together. This is our world. [ That's why it feels so important to her. That's why Ange is defending it from everyone who'd insult it.

It's not about personal pride. It's about her and Ruby's love. ]

And it'll grow. I just.. need to rest for a while after its initial creation. But as soon as I am able to do so, I will expand this place. It won't be lacking in any way.
