"...What's this about?"

"I-...I've been cruel to you." "I haven't exactly been the best big sister lately, have I? I shouldn't have yelled at you. You didn't deserve that."

"Oh...Sarah..."

"I don't expect you to forgive me right away, but I hope-"

"Why are you scared?"

"...Wh- what? Scared?"

"I know that's why you lash out like that. And why you never sleep. And why you drink so much."

"Nyzak! I don't-"

"But what I don't understand is why you never talk about it. If it's so scary, wouldn't it be better to get it off your chest?"

"It's not like he can do anything about it anymore, he's dead remember?"

"I know that! I of all people would know that better than anyone!" "So- so why are you so scared?! He can't hurt us anymore!" "How can you be sure?! How can you be so sure of that?!?! The dead walk among us, every night they rise and come to kill! Humans have even found a way to resurrect the damned ender dragon! Who's to say..." "Who's to say he can't come back?"

"...That's what you're afraid of? Dad coming back? No, no no it's...it's more than that isn't it?"

Sarah hangs her head. Her voice goes quiet. "...Every night I see his face. Leering at me, telling me it's only a matter of time. He'll come for me first. And then you. And then everyone."

"Sarah..." Nyzak comes over to Sarah's side of the table, leaning on the table and her shoulder.

"And four times as smart to boot! Besides...you won't be alone this time. You got me, and the whole stinkin' guard to back us up!"

"So...So stop trying to handle everything else alone. I'm right here. I...I love you, sis."

Sarah goes quiet, wincing ever so slightly as tears start to form in her eye and roll down her cheek. Nyzak sighs, relieved if anything, to finally see her walls coming down. They pull her into a hug just as she breaks down completely...

"I'm so sorry...I promise you, I'm going to do better."
