Black Butler versions. Conversation before Alfred left for America
-----

"Hey, uh, Sis, we gotta talk about something," Alfred rubbed the back of his neck, sitting down. "So, we're in a pretty sucky situation, huh?"

Alex nodded a bit, twiddling her thumbs. A few weeks ago their parents had died. And today... There best friend, Dika, had been reported dead.

"I'm a grown man... And I know how to take care of myself. And... Mattie can take good care of y'all here at the work house.... What I'm saying is.... I'm leaving."

Alex's heart fell out of her chest. "Wh-what?"

"I'm moving. To America."

Alex whimpers a bit. "That's on the other side of the ocean."

"I just... I need distance to process all of this."

Alex clenched her first at her sides, trying her best to look supportive. "A-alright, Bro. T-that's understandable...." And with that, any innocence she had at that point, left.
