Lysithea enters the scene

Ugh, this theory just isn't coming together. The thought behind it is sound enough, but... Hm.

Raphael enters the scene

Hey, Lysithea. Your forehead's all wrinkled. You look tense. Is something wrong?

You know you can tell your Big Bro Raph—I mean, you know you can tell me anything, right?

Raphael, while I appreciate your offer, I'm not so sure you'll be much help here.

What does that mean? Oh, are you researching something complicated? In that case, yeah, you're probably right.

Is there something else I can help you with? I'm really good at other things. Like training!

I have absolutely zero interest in such things.

I have an idea! Do you wanna get real good at playing tag? I could teach you!

There's a trick to it that most people don't know. Like, to not get tagged and stuff. Let me show you!

It's too sunny out to spend all day inside studying! C'mon, Big Bro's gonna take you outsi—

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Can't you see I'm busy?! Go bother someone else!

What nerve you have, too, calling yourself "Big Bro!" Like I'm your little sister or some nonsense. Just cut the act.

Uhhh. Did I really say that out loud?

Anyway, my grades are miles better than yours.

Anyway, my grades were always miles better than yours.

If you want to play the part of "big brother," you'd probably benefit from studying way, way more.

Like I said, I'm really good at other things, just not classroom learning...

I can't stand all the excuses. Clearly you're the little kid here.

You got all that? Now, don't bother me again. Understood? Bye.

Lysithea leaves the scene

Phew! She must be going through a rebellious phase!
