[As the SFC turns on, Angelo is seen sitting on the couch in his and Lloyd's apartment with a serious yet somber expression on his face. Of course he'd be the one to bring this news to the network, as he had done before. Lloyd was his roommate after all and he always finds out before everyone else.]

Lloyd has been put into a sleep coma by the Coral. During this time, I'm not moving him from his room and keeping watch over him until he wakes up... Whenever that will be. It's the least I can do as his...friend.

[His friend huh? Was he truly Lloyd's friend? Is that what one would call a friend? Someone who lies and acts on fake emotions? Never being completely truthful even after all the months two people live together? He doesn't deserve to have Lloyd call him his friend, but...it was the only term that comes to his lips. Yet, he tries to act as if he's not bothered by what has happened.]

But people recover from these comas or at least from I know from experience, so there isn't much to worry about. Instead I'm going to live my life normally and take care of my friend, I see no reason to be sad when I know he'll wake up from this being his usual Lloyd self again. Others are free to think or feel whatever they wish, however I still stand by what I've said and don't plan on changing that.

It is. I try not to take it for granted. My big brother back home is someone I love and cherish more than I do a lot of people, too.

What is your older brother back home like?

Hisui? Well ...

[ She thinks. ]

He's brash, loud, overprotective, he and I argue all the time, and he's one of the biggest dorks I've ever known!

But ... he's got a great heart, good intentions, and he'll go to the ends of the earth for the people he cares about. He's among the only family I have, and I really appreciate him and love him.

...Sounds very different from mine.

People are very different from each other in general, I find.

Wanna tell me about yours?

[There's a long pause, a very long one before he answers.]

...Mine hates me and wishes I never existed.

....

[ W-Wow ... that's ... ]

.... I'm sorry.

[He shrugs.]

You don't need to apologize, I honestly don't care what he thinks of me anymore.

Really? My brother might be kind of mean sometimes, but what he thinks really does mean a lot to me ... I know not everyone has the kind of relationship I have with my brother, but ...
