[With Dan Heng being killed, maybe even possessed, and Ash being a "former" Black Order Guardian... what else was Ragna gonna do but worry.]
Are you somewhere safe?
Are you somewhere safe?
... Good. [...] You sound like shit, what happened?
[Eloquent.]
[Eloquent.]
What?!
[The fucking...!]
You're a teenager, where does a grown ass woman get off telling a kid they should die for some worthless organization?! You should be learning how you want to live your life, not working for a bunch of assholes that wouldn't give two shits if it ended tomorrow or not!
That slave-driving bitch doesn't have any right, she better hope someone else finds her before I do.

She's a fuckin' zealot. They're full on goddamn cultists at that level, and she's one of the fuckin' worst.
[He is so tired, because he just can't be angry anymore.]
They got me when I was fourteen, fifteen? Guess I'm lucky they didn't get me right after Krusnik.

I know the type.
[Said extremely grimly. Like he knew the type intimately. Like he killed them just as quickly. How much of Krusnik's EU bases has he thrown wrenches into by now? If Ash can't be angry anymore, let Ragna be enough for them both. He had it in spades.]
You've barely gotten to live. You went from one hell into another. Even if her "honor" was worth a damn that's not what living life is about. You can make your own choices now and if anyone should run straight into traffic or someone's sword it's her. Not like she could understand something like living life.

[Ash is tired, and it's not like he hasn't heard similar from Elliot and everyone else.
But something about hearing it from a guy who might just get it...Ash doesn't cry but he's emotional.]
Yeah. [A sigh.] Yeah. Fuck, I'm so fucking tired of batshit idiots like her.

[A guy who gets it as far as going back and forth between hells. Maybe the only reason the Order didn't snatch him up is cause he was useless to them anyway. He could only mess with shadows a little bit before that shitheel ghost found him.
Now he's a terror. A powerhouse. And that was dangerous for this city. For this kid who deserved to just have a normal life, messing around, making mistakes, being a stupid teen who gets in trouble and makes friends and tries new things.
A life Ragna abandoned for revenge. Something she also sought.]
... You're not alone, right? Someone's over there with you?

Good.
[...]
She'll turn up dead sooner or later. I don't need to tell you twice but stay close to them. [Stay close to your family, he wants to say. Call me if you need anything, he couldn't bring himself to.]

She doesn't have a reason to look for me, and she better hope it stays that way.
[Which is to say yes, but he has problems accepting that people might care about him you see.]
Might take you up on that. We'll see.

[Alibi Acquired! Wow, usually he doesn't need one.
okay hold up just one moment he knows Venti, but.]
... Wanna tell me who your Gramps is exactly?
