"Eliss, we seriously need to talk about what you did."
"A-Are you angry with me…?" Eliss murmurs, kneeling beside the futon where Aoshi lies, devastated.
"Angry?" he repeats, barely holding back a shout. "Of course I'm angry, Eliss! I AM FUCKING FURIOUS! You killed Renji, and if I hadn't stopped you, you'd have killed Miori too! What the fuck is going through your head?! DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT'S NORMAL?!"
"I-I'm sorry, Aoshi…" Eliss sobs, tears running down her face, terrified by his sudden outburst. "I-I… I did it to protect you… sniff… sniff… those two hurt you so much that… that I couldn't do nothing…"
"Yes, they were wrong, but you don't kill someone for something like that! In the place you come from, is life worth so little? Does your whole race kill this easily? It's absurd…"
Eliss says nothing — her tear-filled eyes fixed on the floor.
