Oh damn yeah Ange was telling me a little So was Sayo hahahaha wait fuck I shouldn't have said that part Oh fucking well guess it's out there now I hope everything is going okay I really just want her to be okay Ange I mean She's like my best friend even though I've made her cry a couple times but I think some of them were good tears And all of this feels so big that I can't even come close to doing anything about it you know But I care about her so much and I want her to be happy and I want you to be the one to do it for her Ruby rose And then maybe I can help too on and off here and there I don't know
Uh- Well now that you have- Yeah. That is kind of the case. I think she's doing the best she can but it is a little rough. She's spent a lot of life just wanting her family back and I don't think this is exactly what she had in mind when it actually happened.
Hey- Best friends make each other cry sometimes, but they also make each other laugh and feel happy too. They're around when the other one needs them and if you're doing that then I think you're doing exactly what she needs at the moment. I'm going to keep doing best for her too, and you should know that we're both here for you if you ever need anything too. That's what friends and family do for each other.
I think she probably knows this already but I love her like the sister I lost
Man I just said that out loud too Fuck I need to sit down or something
[she does, on the couch, next to her bass. and she starts typing instead. doesn't want to say too much.]
She's her own person. She's not my little sister and I won't ever try to force that on her. But sometimes the universe gives you a second chance when you think you deserve it the least. And I'm not going to waste it. Not this time.
No. You're right she's not your sister. But... I think it shows just how much you care about the both of them by making that comparison. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to make sure she isn't hurt. I'm not going to press that on you too much but give Ange some time and I'm sure she'll come around.
...Do you want to tell me a little about your sister? What happened to her?
[haha. man, ruby rose, you just have a way of cutting to the eye heart of it. anna tilts her head back against the couch—mistake!—and slowly brings it back forward so she can text again.]
Trying to keep the mood at least a little bit up, so I'll give you the cliff notes. When I got kicked out, she was at summer school. She came back home and I was already gone. That was twelve years ago. That morning was the last time I ever talked to Beth. And I just don't know what happened to her. I know she's still alive, or she was still alive back in 2021 when I came here. But that's the best I have.
That... Sounds very hard. It sounds a little bit like what my sister and her mom have gone through. But I feel like your intentions were never to cause her any harm. Maybe one day you will see her again. At least I'm pretty sure you will.
...And you know. Ange has spent a lot of time missing her family, specifically an older sibling.
I think- I think that might have something to do with how she feels.
I don't know if I'm ready to be someone's older sister again. I wasn't ready when Oscar signed those papers that I still don't think are legally binding. But I think I should give it a try. Prove to... prove to someone, whoever's listening, that I can actually do it. And if I can make Ange happier in the process, I'll take it.
Oscar isn't exactly known for his patience. He just drops the whole family thing on you and you're stuck with it. We'd all be happy to have you as a member of it. Ange included for sure. We'll all help you prove it.
Maybe I'm just drunk and in love, but that sounds like a good plan. Be honored to give it another shot in earnest this time. Let's hope I don't do anything to make anyone regret it, yeah?
Look- I've never had a bad plan in my life. And I believe you can do this. The only thing that could make me regret is if you don't get a mint before this. Because if I'm going to be with you all the way- You need to not have stinky alcohol breath.
YOU BETTER- OH Spearmint Rose is a good one- Or if I ever made a spear that's definitely what I'd call it. Not that I'd ever replace Crescent Rose or anything. She'll always be my OG Weapon.

So was Sayo hahahaha wait fuck I shouldn't have said that part
Oh fucking well guess it's out there now
I hope everything is going okay I really just want her to be okay
Ange I mean

And all of this feels so big that I can't even come close to doing anything about it you know
But I care about her so much and I want her to be happy and I want you to be the one to do it for her Ruby rose
And then maybe I can help too on and off here and there I don't know
