When Claude saw what was going on, he grabbed his sister by the arms and pried her off of Faith.
"Sigrid, what the hell are you doing?!" he shouted, shoving her against a wall. "Calm the hell down!"
More mascara ran down her face, staining the wallpaper.
"J-just, just come home, Claude--everything'll be fine--just come back home to the van and we'll--"
"Sigrid, I'm getting really sick of this," he said firmly, gritting his teeth. "You never let me go anywhere on my own, you don't believe I'll make it with Frederich, you force me to participate in all of your stupid little experiments--I'm so sick of it, Sig. I live here now, and you have to deal with it. I told you I was doing this."
He opened the front door and shoved her out.
"I'm doing this for you too, you know. Get lost." He slammed the door and locked it--in her rage, Sigrid had broken off the bolt, but the rest of the door was only scuffed up.
"...I'm so sorry," he said to the girl still standing in the hall. "What's your name? I'm Claude, I live here now." He extended his hand. "Did that girl just now hurt you? I'm really sorry. We can get a first aid kit out, if you need it."
