Meanwhile, the two sisters continued fighting.  Every one of Glitch's blasts that Anti had dodged caused something else to disappear as it got it.

"Glitch, please!"

"NO, ANTI!  I WON'T-"

"Look at what you're doing!  You're destroying everything!"

Glitch stopped mid-attack.

Shock spread across her face as she looked around her.

What had once been a lovely, snowy town was now a void of white.

"I..."

Her crystal wings disappeared from view.

"...what have I become?"

Anti's wings disappeared as she slowly walked to her sister.

"Look, sis.  I understand how much you want to stay with your new friends; believe me, if I had new friends, I'd want to stay with them too.  But what you're doing isn't right.  You can't stay with your friends if you're taking away others' friends."

"...what are you saying?"

"I'm saying that... maybe you should let it go."

Glitch looked down sadly.

"... fine.  But not before I make things right."

She exposed the code, fixed the errors, and everything faded from view.
