"I'd never be ashamed to call myself your little sister!" she decreed, voice trembling, passionate, and so intense it could've melted steel.
"NEVER! Not even if you became a villain!"
She leaned further in, pressing her forehead against his, letting the girl stare into his eyes from less than an inch away as she declared:
"I'll always be proud to call myself your little sister! Don't you EVER dare assume otherwise! Even if the whole world turns against you, I'll still be here. Just say the word and I'll kill them all!"
Alice wasn't finished. Her voice grew fevered, eyes blazing with fanaticism. "Awakened humans, monsters, criminals, citizens, fathers and mothers, children—"
Kaiden sighed and raised a hand, gently placing a finger against her lips.
"I got it, Alice."
The little sister went stock-still instantly upon his actions. Her heart skipped. Her eyes shimmered.
'He silenced me… just like that…'
