[As difficult as it is to hear this confirmation from Ange, Scott doesn't find himself surprised by her admission either. She's been through a lot at home, maybe even more so there, despite all the crazy things that have happened in this world. He still remembers her abusive aunt during the maze, along with other things the withdrawn girl's told him, so her answer's almost expected.

Still hard to hear though.

Scott can really nod, his more upset feelings pushed down and never escaping to the surface. He may not fully understand, because he'd never want to feel nothing forever, but he's trying. He wants to try for her. Ange's felt alone a lot, right? How shitty would it be if she opened up to him and he reacted badly? Really shitty.]

I... I think I wanted to feel that way again, at least for a few minutes, after Kotone died. Nothing made sense. Maybe I did dissociate anyway, without the Phoenix's help.

[...] But feeling like that way for long? I'd be afraid of hurting someone else and not caring about it.
