Old Acquaintances and lost friends

[Bazza]

Kana stares in dumb silence for a moment, unable to understand what had happened. Her eyes begun to shimmer as tears welled up inside, her fragile heart wounded by Sev's coldness.

Evangeline quickly puts down Sanya's bottle and, with her free hand, gently pets Kana on the head, ruffling her glossy brown hair in the process.

Kan~aa!

You don't need to cry sweetie. It's not your fault, okay? Sev just hasn't had a bath for a while and doesn't want to offend.

She speaks as if talking to a girl half Kana's age, with a deliberately soft and gentle tone.

Isn't that right, Sev?

However her tone changes dramatically upon addressing Sev herself, cutting through her with an icy-cold glare.
