[edit] Brother and Sister
Man, taking photographs sure is a pain.
“Brother… Another scuffle?”
Yeah, that’s right. But what ‘bout it? It’s got nothin’ t’ do with you.
‘Sides, get this into your head, ‘kay? I’m not e’en the slightest bit scratched up.
“I know… Brother, your left hand’s been in your pocket for some time. …It’s bleeding, isn’t it?”
…’S somebody else’s. It’s no big deal.
“That’s not the problem here! Why is Brother always getting into fights…?”
Like I said, it’s got nothin’ t’ do with you. Are you not gonna listen t’ your older brother…?
“…”
…Ah, I was just kiddin’. Don’t make that face.
“Promise. Don’t fight anymore.”
Right, right, I promise.
“…Aww, this must be the thirtieth time you’ve made this promise.”
Reaaally? I thought this was the first time.
Oi, why’re you laughing?
“Truth is, I’m a little happy. …Brother came home without losing the fight.”
…
“And, you know? I believe in you. Someday, Brother really will keep his promise!”
What’re you blabberin’ on about? Saying such naïve things will get you teased by the neighborhood kids, y’know.
“Brother, will you save me then?”
‘S okay to fight?
“Ummm… Then I’ll try my best to endure it myself!”
Don’t be silly, Eve. All right, I get it.
I swear, I won’t let anybody get their hands on you. I’ll always stand by this promise.
“Ahaha… I'm so happy to hear that, even if you’re lying! Thank you, Brother Dallas!”
…Hey, hurry up and look at the camera.
