The door swings open and Sunny staggers in, doubled over and drenched in sweat.

Sunny
* Hold your applause, ladies and cunts-- hfff...
* Mademoiselle -- hff, haah -- Gets-It-Done is in the fuckin' building.


Sitara is glad to see her! Jiro is more conflicted.

Sitara
* Sunny!! Thank goodness, aha...
* ...How did you get in??

Sunny
* Over the back fence and through the bathroom window.
* You know the lock on there's broken?
* Fuckin' smashed my leg on the way in though, still stings like a bastard...

Sitara
* Ah, sorry...

Sunny
* It's not your fault, christ.
* What's the lowdown?

Sitara
* Ah, well...
* They're still out there...

Sunny
* Yeah, figured.
* Any case, we've got the high ground advantage and I plan to abuse it.
* One sec.

Sunny slides the window up and yells down at the congregated anime girls.

Sunny
* OI!!

—Polyta—
Sunny??
You're okay--!

Sunny
* FUCK OFF!!

—Polyta—
Sunny-- damn it, Sunny!!
How many times do I have to tell you not to intercede in our affairs! This is none of your concern! It is between Jiro and the Goddess--!!


Nix double jumps up to the windowsill and starts yelling.

JIRO

Sitara
* Eeep!!

Sunny
* Ghh, fuckin'--!!

Jiro stop HIDING

They're all WAITING and I'm SICK OF IT

Everyone KNOWS you have to go back
so just GET BACK HERE ALREADY
JIRO!!!


Jiro runs over slams the window shut. Nix doesn't move out of the way in time. She strains and bursts like a cherry tomato.

—Jiro—
...
→GO AWAY.
I liked you better when you didn't talk



Jiro stares at his now blood-soaked hands and chest. Sunny and Sitara talk in the background.

Sitara
* UM.

Sunny
* She'll be fine.
* It's the big girls we should fret about.
* Polly looks just about ready to bash the fuckin' door in.

—Jiro—
...
And whose fault is that?
I should just go out there.
→They haven't done it yet

Sitara
* Should we call the police??

Sunny
* Oh Christ no!
* The fuck is a squad of coppers gonna do versus the warrior princess brigade? The girls'll farm the useless blue fucks for free XP and pocket change.

—Jiro—
...
Puff yourself up, crack all the jokes you want, but you don't know how to solve this
→Do you have any plan at all??
This is pointless, I'm pointless

Sunny
* Look, we just gotta make clear that they're not getting thirty fuckin' centimetres with this begging and pleading routine.
* Polly won't drag you back kicking and screaming. Not her speed.
* Blue one looks like she might, but it's not her call.
* Let me handle the chitchat and I'll wall 'em out, long as it takes.

—Jiro—
...
And how long is that going to be? Would you wait here until the end of time?
→You really think they'll just walk away.
I don't think you realize how important I am to the the structure of that island

Sunny
* Well, yeah. They gotta fuckin' sleep, eat, play patty cakes with the big bitch in the temple at some point, don't they??
* We can sneak you outta Sitara's place once the crowd thins out.

Sitara
* A-- ah, at some point my parents will be home...!

—Jiro—
...
I don't think we have any uber crates around here big enough for that
→They're not going to let me go that easily
You are hurting them by helping me

Sunny
* So I'll keep monstering 'em until they get the fuckin' picture.

—Jiro—
...
I appreciate what you're doing
→So you're just chaining yourself to me as my protector, are you.
Why? What do you get out of this?
What do you think you're proving. That if you can save me it'll be another feather in your cap?
Aaaaarrrrrgghhhhhhh

Sunny
* Yeah, cause you're my mate!!!
* You're one of us now, and that means you get the full fuckin' treatment!
* No-one down with the ship!

—Jiro—
...
One of you??
This is how it always ends, isn't it
You're just as selfish as I am
I'm doing it again, screwing up the good thing I had going. I'm a bastard.
I don't deserve this, any of this, and what does it say about you that you keep trying to give it to me!?
→I know what this is, you just want me all to yourself!
This needs to end this needs to end


Sunny gives Jiro a hard, hard stare. He pentulantly looks away.



Sunny
* Jiro.
* I understand you have been through some shit.
* But I would fucking appreciate it if you didn't project your sexual fucking neuroses on me while I am busting my arse for you!
* Okay???

—Jiro—
...


Sunny returns to her post, monitoring the scene outside through the window.

Sunny
* We can have a long deep and fucking meaningful about where we're at after we get your arse out of the frying pan.
* But for the time being, we are bunkering the fuck down and--


Coral is here, marching past the other girls.

Sunny
* Is that--!?
* Jazza!?
