I've never been a sister before. I've never been anything to anyone before.

When we met, we didn't get along. I don't want to ruin it now.

How do I be a good sister? Is there something I could study?

[ surely assuming Aloy is too much of a hermit to use the network and doesn't need to be locked out of the post is not going to bite her later. ]

That doesn't sound that difficult. All you'd have to do is make sure that you're around when your sibling needs it, or when they are in danger.

[ .. maybe that's not as simple as Ange is making it sound, considering the danger involved, but-- look, Ange thinks that aspect of it is easier than the social aspect! ]

I could know. I have a big brother who gets himself into trouble constantly. It's really troublesome.

[nobetawedielike]

She definitely gets into a lot of trouble too. Aloy is very stubborn.

[entreats]

If you are tolerating that, then you're probably a good sister by default.

Or better than me, anyway. I can't stand it when my brother gets himself in trouble, especially when it's most of the time only because he's being dumb.

[nobetawedielike]

Does he get more stubborn if you try to stop him?

[entreats]

Absolutely.

He's stubborn in general though. I don't think he's ever listened to anything I have ever told him, even though it was always good advice. He always thinks he knows better.

[nobetawedielike]

That sounds like Aloy too. Does he at least succeed?

[ There's a slight pause before Ange's reply arrives, but nothing too long.

Though the message itself is just the simple question of: ]

How would you define 'succeed'?
