"....hi."
He gives the girl a wave back! She's not looking too hot, it must've been quite the battle.
Maiz also didn't know Onyan has a sister. Or brothers, to be honest. He doesn't know anything about this situation!
"Wait, are you deciding on nicknames or something?"
WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE

Anise beams with finally having a name.
"Something like that. I can tell by your energy you are the one who saved me, so could you come close so I can thank you? I'm having trouble seeing."

"This is the child that was in the tube." Onyan would say, not shifting her eyes off of her.

Maiz looks absolutely confused. This is not a baby.
But why would Onyan lie?
He walks forward, then kneels next to the barrier.
"...you have a pretty name, Anise."

"Thanks, sis picked it out."
Some tears mix with the blood as she smiles though she looks to Onyan and then Maiz.
"Well, he is pretty handsome. Wonder if I would of had a shot?"
She jokes a bit before giggling.
"Sorry, just wanted to tease a bit..."
She looks down and loses anything to say. Just silently keeping her focus on Onyan and Maiz, the loom of the drone over head keeps her from and distractions.

Onyan would snort a bit, but speaks softly.
"You're both pretty alike...maybe you would have..."

You're goddamn right he is.
Maiz gives a little smile, putting his hand on the barrier lightly. He can tell from the mood that something terrible is happening, but he doesn't know what.
"You're probably just a little young for me."
He says gently, trying to joke along.
"...what's happening?"

She looks up finally at the drone for some reason. With Maiz's question hanging in the air she sighs again and wipes tears and blood away.
"I'm going to die soon."
She buckles a bit as a small sob escapes before she regains her strength.
"Whatever made me... Wasn't done... I was supposed to die in the ship. My power is out of control and will erupt from me... Probably during the next seizure."
She fights a quiver from her chin so she could smile again for Onyan and Maiz. Doing everything she possibly can to stay strong. She felt cold, even more so with the sweat rolling down her back. She wanted to curl up and cry, she wanted someone else to pull the trigger, but she couldn't let either of them do it. She had to stay strong. The temptations to look at them drop the barrier and scream she doesn't want to die was so strong. Greater than any power she held and yet she had to be stronger.

Onyan could see the difficulty Anise was dealing with. Even when the girl tried to smile and be strong.
Onyan would place a hand on the barrier as well.
"Anise, close your eyes." she'd say, waiting for her to do so.
"When I was upset, mom liked to calm me down with a lullaby. She's not here, so...I'll do it."
After a moment, Onyan would start to sing an old saiyan lullaby most saiyan kids would recognize; singing it surprisingly well considering the edge her voice usually held.

A cold sweat runs down the back of Maiz's neck. Was this... his fault? Because he pulled her out?
No...she mentioned she was supposed to die in the ship. It was their fault.
He wants to say something, but for once, Maiz finds himself at a loss for words. Thankfully, Onyan seems to know exactly what to say, and Maiz stays where he is to listen, finding memories of his own mother coming from the lullaby.

Anise closes her eyes and listens to the lullaby. A large toothy grin crosses her face as she does her best to take that and keep it in her memories. All her worries washing away as she listened, reaching out and placing a hand on her side of the barrier. When the lullaby was finished Anise would slowly open her eyes.
"Thank you, that was beautiful."
She would pull her hand away as a twinge of pain would strike on the side of her head. Obviously she recoiled and reached up to grab that part of her head like she could do something about it.
"I think... My time is almost up. Thank you for being my family... Fulfilling my dreams as small as they were. You were the best family I could ask for, and I mean that. I am thankful I got this extra time to live. If I had to do it again, I'd..."
She breaks a bit as the tears return.
"I'd always want it to be you two."
She scoots back a bit and stands up. Staggering a bit as she forces herself to walk to the center, the beginnings of a new seizure. Onyan would recognize it by now.

Onyan would clench her jaw, her fingers curling and 'scraping' against the barrier. Every show of pain was a bad sign. Even without Anise saying so, Onyan knew she was at her limit.
The sign of a seizure coming on would make Onyan force herself to her feet, and she'd press both hands on the barrier.
"Anise!"

Maiz stands up as well, gritting his teeth in barely-restrained fury while keeping his hand on the barrier.
"Anise. We'll see each other again, I know it."
He says firmly, his voice surprisingly confident. He truly believed it.

Getting to the center her eyes are pale, the color having left them obviously blind at this point. She turns to smile at them one more time as more cracks appear on her skin. Lifting her hand up at the drone, it opens as her fingers reach out to control the mechanisms.
The blue like appears once more as the cone shoots out to surround her.
"I love you."
And like that the drone fire's fully and the barrier drops. Nothing in that circle remains as the egg falls to the ground landing in the circular hole left there.

Onyan squeezes her eyes shut and looks away when the beam fires.
Then she just stands there, almost frozen.
