[Remember this picture, Ange? (doesn't Battler look like a dork (doesn't dad look as cool as ever)) Mom managed to find it.  And now it's being broadcast, isn't it great...

Happy birthday, Ange~ Will you come over for dinner tonight? We can have a little party just like we used to.  Well, not quite the same seeing as your father isn't around, but we all know the highlight is having Battler there anyway.
I want to make up for our absence, in some small way. 

[Locked from Ange]

I'm extending an open invitation to any of Ange's friends as well.  I'll be making dinner as well as dessert and you're welcome to stay as little or long as you like.  The only condition is, please keep it a secret from Ange, I want it to be a surprise.

At this rate I'd almost say we have to make up for lost birthdays first, so that would make this my seventh..

[selfinteresting]

Oh, do you want to be treated like a seven-year-old? I can do that.

[geez it's not mom's fault there were lost birthdays]

[ totally mom's fault she shot everyone and then got shot?! ]

... I take that back, somehow the prospect of that seems even more like a threat to my dignity.

[eva's fault
also she didn't shoot everyone
she also knifed some]

Not at all, what could give you that idea!

[repudiate]

[ ah, yes, nuances... that really.. helps.. ]

I'm getting a vague message from supernatural forces right about now.

Ange, if there are voices in your head, you can talk to me about it, you know that, right?

[repudiate]

Sorry, mom, this is something I have to deal with by myself.

[ even if Kyrie doesn't know half of it. imaginary friends and all. ]

[selfinteresting]

Why won't you let me in? All I want is to help you...

[It's k, mom has one of those too]

[repudiate]

Sometimes kids grow up and start having to deal with their issues own their own, right?

[selfinteresting]

I wish you would at least tell me, you never call...
