[ Lion is in luck. Ange seems so excited about the situation that she indeed doesn't notice the tears before they're already wiped away. Instead she just smiles, especially when they get close to her, looking up at them with that smile.

Even if she sure doesn't know all the meaning contained behind such a simple statement about the sea, something about it feels nice to her all the same. ]

[ Slowly the smile drops a little, replaced with something a tad more thoughtful. ]

I think.. if you weren't here, I might be kinda lonely.. Because mom and dad and Battler onii-chan aren't here.. [ Even if this Ange hasn't had to miss them the way the older Ange has, it's almost as if something of the sentiment, of the pain, remains deep within her. ] .. but when we're both here, we don't have to be lonely.
