[ It's almost a little tempting to say that it sounds like a movie.. because it does, right? Even though Ange hasn't seen a whole lot of actual movies due to the way she grew up, she still knows a movie plot when she hears one. Aliens invading suddenly, crawling into people's brains.. If there was already a movie about that kind of thing, she'd believe it.
But she holds it back, despite her habit to throw around deadpan remarks. It's something about the way Shinichi looks, really, so clearly awkward and a little upset.. It'd feel too much like kicking a puppy after said puppy already fell down on its own. ]
I see.
[ Still, just those two little words.. They probably sound way too calm for what Shinichi is telling her here. But, hey, this is apparently just objective reality where Shinichi comes from, so that's how Ange is taking it. She's pretty sure she'd sound the same way if she talked about the witches from her world and what they did - just utterly ridiculous and gross. ]
.. I get that it must be hard. [ Somehow it sounds a little harder for Ange to.. say this.. mostly because she's openly being nice, and that's terrifying? No, thanks, she'd rather be making dumb flat jokes about Shinichi's movie plot life??
But she's-- she's trying, okay. Even if this is hard for her to say, having to look away from the boy instead of staring at him directly, Ange is saying it anyway. ]
But even though it's hard, you don't have to feel weird or gross about it on top of it all. At least, not compared to everyone else here. You fit right in. I know what Scott called it, but let's face it, we're basically the "weird teens club." [ CALLING EVERYONE OUT.. Including herself, okay! Ange knows she's weird! Some of us are weird and edgy on purpose!! ] I mean, Scott can apparently shoot laser beams from his eyes, and I summon demons. Having an arm alien doesn't make you some weirdo outcast that doesn't fit in here. It just makes you unfortunate.
[ Because Shinichi never asked for it. Even without this very direct explanation, that much had already been obvious to Ange, just from the way the other talked about it. He just gives off the 'I never asked for this' vibe so hard.
Also, yes, this is her trying to reassure him, alright.
J-Just in.. Ange's unique way.. but she's trying!! ]
