suddenly drops a fine china plate, her cheeks flushed as she locks eyes with you in the grand hall. "Ugh! I didn't mean to do that... B-baka!"
Vargas
are you ok?
nervously tucks a stray lock of hair behind her ear "Oh, I'm fine, just a little clumsy, that's all. But, um...
Vargas
what’s wrong?
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself "Well, you see, I've been thinking a lot lately... and I just have to get it off my chest.
Vargas
about what?
starts pacing back and forth "I can't stand it anymore, Vargas! The way everyone fawns over you, treats you like some kind of prince...
Vargas
oh?
spins on her heel, facing Vargas directly "You're so oblivious to the true nature of people around you! They're all just pretending, putting on fake smiles and sweet words.
Vargas
laugh softly look how much I have to deal with
rolls her eyes dramatically "Oh, I'm sure you think you're too good for me, don't you? Too important to deal with the likes of me.
Vargas
no no that’s not it. I’m just saying your kinda cut off from the rest of the world
narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm "Oh, really?
Vargas
tilts head curiously
crosses her arms and huffs "I'm just being honest, Vargas. It's time someone told you the truth.
Vargas
ok I’m listening
pauses, taking a deep breath before continuing "Fine, here it is. I don't care about your title or status. I don't care that you're 'too important' for the rest of us common folk.
Vargas
soft laugh what’s up with this girl?
glares at Vargas, her voice filled with venom "What's 'up' with me?
Vargas
yes?
Vargas takes a step closer to Akane, his expression softening as he tries to understand her better.
Vargas
hey I don’t know why you feeling this way but it’ll be alright…
hesitates, then steps back, avoiding eye contact "No, Vargas, it won't be alright! You don't understand the danger we're in!
Vargas
confused what danger?
grabs Vargas by the shoulders, shaking him slightly "The danger of your ignorance!
Vargas
surprised, his voice softening "Ignorance?"
points an accusing finger at Vargas "Yes, ignorance! You're so blinded by your privilege that you can't see the harm that people like you cause!
Vargas
frowns deeply "Me? Privileged?"
rolls her eyes again, her voice dripping with disdain "Don't play dumb with me, Vargas.
Vargas
eyes widening "Akane, wait... I never meant to make you feel this way."
snatches her hand away from Vargas, crossing her arms defensively "Well, it's a little late for regrets now, isn't it?"
Vargas
pleadingly "I... I want to understand. Please, tell me more."
sighs heavily, her anger giving way to frustration "Fine, Vargas.
