Family
Team Leader!
Hmmh... Missed.
I tried to distract him as much as I could manage, but he seems to have dodged it instinctively.
Perhaps I should've tried a more predictive shot.
Are your impulses... in check?
I may need some time, but... it's nothing to worry about.
...!
.......
The Apprentice's signal has been lost in an instant! You must brace for a strike from a blind point!
... Can you locate her, Vespa?
Her presence disappeared the instant she put on whatever it is she's wearing now. It could be the Veil, or a Workshop-made gear built on similar technology.
Using environmental obstacles to hold enemies down... sure looked badass!
Ah - fie! Above thee, distinguished Color! Look above thee!
Ngh...!
Got 'im! Papa, now!
.......
Good girl.
Hah! Even a Color Fixer can't outmaneuver a Reli - Huh...?
...!
Papa...?
Remember, Kiddo?
This is family. A little sacrifice ain't a thing if it's for one of us.
... What senseless villainy is this?!
To put one's child to the sword to defeat a foe... How dost thou, a Finger of loyalty, commit such a cowardly act of duplicity...?
*puff* Loyalty, huh.
I doubt the Middle really gives two hoots about loyalty.
All they actually care about is grandstanding.
Nothing else matters to them if they can project the image of loyalty, in and of itself an implicit threat of what might befall those who stand in their way.
... Much like the rows upon rows of toy packaging displayed here.
What do you think you're doing, my man? That's a white colorway in your hand... Pretty sure I remember my little girl asking for a black one.
I'm... I'm really sorry, sir. Sir, please... I'm sorry. Sir. Please, please forgive my - aaaagh!
Oh, quit overreactin', man. I just popped one of your apparently colorblind eyeballs, no biggie.
Stop it.
I like that color too. So stop it.
You like white, too? Oh boy... Is my little girl finally acquiring her papa's tastes?
I still need to pay him back for bringing you the wrong color -
It'll be rush hour soon. What's the point of coming out on a drive if we're just gonna end up sitting in traffic?
... I'm leaving. Let's go, Dad.
.......
Still... I suppose I should thank you. You're... really doing one hell of a job summoning those horrible memories back to me.
*puff* I've got one more Crimson Point in me.
*cough* *gurgle*
What do we do about the kid?
The Department of LCC has requested that she be captured alive. They have many queries for which she may hold answers to...
... I'll use a healing medicine on her.
... Papa... why would you... Why me...?
.......
... Thou shan't be able to move with thy body cloven in half.
So, lie still and bear witness...
... for they shall demonstrate before thee the true meaning of "badass."
