On top of the dresser are three photos, but they all seem to be smeared with that red substance--except for the picture with small six year old Ange in what appears to be a family portrait.

The rest of the dress is covered in more of that red...

[well, her hand was already covered in the red so who cares.

picks up one of the photos and starts trying to wipe the substance off with her sleeve]

Sorry about your fam, Ange, and that you have to experience the righteous fury of a 12 year old mourning his dead mother.

Once the red is wiped away, it's revealed to be a smol Battler along with Rudolf and Asumu smiling at the camera.

[oh.

this is something she was in fact not prepared for and she can't help but tear up as she experiences that memory.

and then once it's finished playing, all she can do is clutch the portrait in her hand and stare at it for a very long time]

... I'm sorry...

[after a bit longer, she swallows hard and picks up the other photo to wipe it clean as well]

I was too lazy to find the Ep4 moment that showed it, but...

Ange was probably too little to fully grasp the situation Battler was in after his grandparents died. From Rudolf showing up at the funeral, bowing down low with his head to the ground begging for him to return to the family, to the hassle of getting his name moved back into the family registry, to going to school at his grandparents' home and slowly moving things over to the other house little by little... over the course of a few months.

Spring with school being a pain, Summer and Ange and his birthdays, and then Fall... and that fateful day when Rudolf, Kyrie, and Battler were all not at all that surprised that Ange got sick before a big trip and reassured her that they'd see her again, soon.

Maybe there was a thought that he could have stayed behind to look out for her--the old man did say he didn't have to go, after all. But no, he wanted to get this over with, make the transition back to Ushiromiya complete.

So he went...

Once the red is fully wiped away, it's a candid moment of that small family trying to come together--Rudolf, Kyrie, Battler, and Ange who looks so so happy.

[well.

it's time to actually start crying for real this time. she tries to keep her sobs quiet because Rika and her mom are right there, but it's not like she can't help it either.

she holds the photo tightly to her chest]

At least there aren't any other memories coming from it at this moment.

[yes, that's appreciated. especially because it gives her the opportunity to try and get herself together while mom is busy in the bathroom.

she wipes her tears with the sleeve that isn't all covered in red and leaves the photo back where it was.

then moves to check the windows in this room]

Guess that last photo remains red.

But there IS a fun big splatter at the windows! Gosh golly!

[uh oh...

is it more of the red? and is it covering up the whole window, or just a section?]

It sure is! And the lower section of it, really. Like someone was slumped over there.

[mmmmm big dislike.

this is also... a lot, so after considering for a moment, she'll grab the bedspread from the bed that doesn't have a corpse and use it to try and clean up the splatter....... maybe]

Uh... about that bedspread. If it's not the one Kyrie put over Kinzo, there is more red on it.

And it's the second twilight of the first game where Eva has her head pierced with a stake. Sorry about that.

[YOU'RE NOT SORRY!!!

but she freezes up at the memory, clutching the bedspread in her hand]

Onii-chan... this is too much...

[glances back over at the bed, ARE THE BED SHEETS USABLE? or... are those also... red....?]

Unfortunately, it's all very red.

[well, there is a bathroom and there is a tub so... it's time to find out if there's also running water]

Bad news about the tub, it's also red but this time it's flashback to Hideyoshi stabbed dead through the head naked in the tub.

The sink's fine, though! Kyrie yoinked all the towels already, alas.

[a mix of a sigh and whine escapes her mouth at the image and once again she needs to take a moment before she can resume what she was doing, shaking her head to try and clear her mind.

she brought the bedspread though so she's try to rinse it in the sink... see if the red will come off at all]

You know... the surprising thing is actually how little Eva actually died in Beato's games, there's really not too much more than that one instance, or the guts full of candy, but as you try to wash out the red, a certain younger witch's laughter starts to echo in the bathroom.

"Careful, Ange. Don't you know? If you don't use cold water to rinse out the blood, the stain will be there fooooreeeeeevaaaaaa~!"

You are alone in the bathroom, for the record.

[logically, she knows she's alone in here, but this is EVA-Beatrice so SHE COULD JUST MANIFEST IN HERE IF SHE WANTED?

she spins around abruptly, fully expecting her to be there]

A-Aunt Eva?!

Could she? She's nowhere to be seen, but her laughter does echo in the space. Fades after a moment of that. Was that just you? Or...

[she sighs, almost a little... disappointed?

listen, it's complicated.

but she will in fact try and use cold water to see if the blood comes out...]

The blood does come out... it doesn't completely remove the stain, but the coloring is less vivid, the memory of the horrible deaths less intense, fading into just lingering horror as the red goes down, down, down the drain.

[wrings as much of the water as she can out so the fabric isn't as heavy and... heads out, back to the window, to try and clean the red there with her significantly less red but moist bed sheet.

did she do all of this just to try and wipe the splatter on the window? yes.]
