Please get to the lowest floor you can. If you want to stay on the terminals, floor three has them - otherwise I'd recommend the cafeteria on floor one. If you can walk, then do so instead of using the elevator.

[Short and simple.]

[technologic]

I've been told that a few times.

[Voice]

[alephbet]

If I have to knock you out to bring you downstairs, I will.

[Voice]

[technologic]

No. Go downstairs and use your energy for more important things.

[Voice]

[alephbet]

Protecting people isn't important?

[Voice]

[technologic]

Of course it is. Which is why I'm telling you to stop wasting time with me and go help others.

[Voice]

[alephbet]

You deserve to be safe as much as they do, now get downstairs.

[Voice]

[technologic]

No.

I'm staying behind and that's it.

[Voice]

[alephbet]

Don't make me come up and get you.

[Voice]

[technologic]

Aleph, I'm staying and I'm not changing my mind. Now go downstairs.

[Action]

[alephbet]

[Too late. Now where is she...?]

[Action]

[technologic]

[Ugh dammit. But if he keeps looking he'll find her on floor 27 and about to head further up.]

[Action]

[alephbet]

April.

[Guess who looks ready for a fight.]

Are you going to come quietly?

[Action]

[technologic]

[April is about to reply, though she's stopped by a violent tremor and an odd, twisted sound in the air.]

... There isn't a lot of time left, so stop wasting it and get downstairs. [Translation: No.]

[Action]

[alephbet]

[Aleph sighs and summons his demons. (Minus Mara.)]

Very well. I apologize in advance for the bruises.

[He gives the nod to his demons, who, without further warning, attack in sync.]

[Action]

[technologic]

[April sighs to herself, and her eyes take on the glow for when she uses her powers.

This is when a large barrier of electricity appears around her and- hey, did one of his demons get sent back to his terminal?] Did you forget that I know how your terminal works better than you?

[Action]

[alephbet]

[Aleph grits his teeth.] I'm trying to save you here! If you'd stop being an idiot...

[Okay. Terminal won't help. What about swords. Swords are always good.]

[Action]

[technologic]

I don't need saving! And it doesn't matter if I die or whatever.

[She immediately sends the rest of his demons back, still keeping the electricity barrier up. He'll have to force his way through that first.]

[Action]

[alephbet]

What makes you less worthy of safety than everyone else?

[Fuck electricity barriers. He'll force his way through that if it kills him. Hyyyypocrite.]

[Action]

[technologic]

Because I don't matter! So stop this and just fucking go already!

[April has no intentions of killing him, but he's not getting through yet.]

[Action]

[alephbet]

Not without you, you moron!

[Nope. Not letting up.]

[Action]

[technologic]

You'll be killed too if you keep sticking around, and the this would have all been for nothing. Don't you have friends to watch after?

[Action]

[alephbet]

You are my friend!

[Action]

[technologic]

[Now that gets a pause and the barrier seems to let up slightly.]

... This really isn't the time for jokes, Aleph.

[Action]

[alephbet]

I'm not joking.

[Action]

[imperialsun]

[And as they continue to bicker, they might notice Naoya go back up after helping others go down. He gives them a glance and stops for a few precious seconds.]

Both if you need to move!
