April: Eu... Eugen, is that really you?

Eugen: How long since I last saw you... wasn't it last april, April?

The Heavy Cruiser said as she looked at the boy standing in the water

April: W-what are you doing here? 

Eugen: So they didn't tell you yet

Zuikaku: I'm confused what is Happening?

Hornet: Hell if I know.

April: Didn't tell me what? | He said as he tilted his head in confusion

Eugen: The ones that you attacked at Pearl Harbor and here weren't sirens.

April: w-WHAT?!

Eugen: They were Sakura Empire Kansen

April: B-but they were attacking the base... why would they do it... aren't we all part of the same alliance...

Eugen: And that is where the things that they didn't tell you come in... | she was about to say more but suddenly a number of Eagle Union dive bombers attacked her

Essex: Stay away from her April | Essex yelled to her younger sibling

April: Why are you attacking her... aren't we all on the same side?

Eugen: Come on answer the question

Enterprise: You don't have to answer that question, Essex

Eugen: Come on Essex the boy is entitled to hear the answer.

Essex: I'll answer the question, You want answers?!

April: I think I'm entitled to

Essex: YOU WANT ANSWERS!

April: I WANT THE TRUTH!

Essex: YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

April: What happened after I last saw the others?! Did the Alliance split?

Essex: Yes it did

Hearing this the Boy suddenly looked shocked at his sister then at Eugen and what he assumed was a Sakura girl since he didn't see who was fighting Hornet. He started to tremble slightly as he realized that he almost killed Kansen that were attacked the Base before and how if this fight continued he would've probably done the same in this fight.

April: I-i | He said as he stumbled backwards

From where he stood he saw Eugen on his left and Essex with Enterprise on his right, he was about to fall down onto the water but his rigging caught him as he lay on it paralyzed. He started to realize what was happening around him

Essex: you... you okay April?

April: Y-you were right sister... I-i can't handle the truth

He said as he fell unconscious on his rigging, because his rigging was similar to that of Iron Blood it was sentient and therefore stood guard above him as the boy laid on it.

Eugen: Ara ara, It seems that someone couldn't handle the guilt... if only you told him before maybe he would have been better off? | She said as she began approaching the rigging

Essex: Stay away from him | Essex said as she also began moving forward

As the two stepped closer the rigging started to growl at one of them. In the meantime, the others decided to call it a draw and so the two Crane sisters and Hortnet's fleet withdrew while Enterprise and Z23 stayed behind
