( When America and England arrive, Spain locks the door behind them.

To be honest, he didn't really want to talk to England but given the circumstances, it seemed like a good idea to look like he was talking to him too. Leaning against the door, he doesn't say anything for a little while-- instead, glaring at England as if trying to find a way to pin this on him. Finally, he speaks to America in a controlled tone, )

You told Holden you could help Akane. ( Its hard picking a question to ask out of the several in his head, ) What did you tell him?

( And a quick glance and a silent question at England to see if he can figure out the answer before America replies-- "did you know about this, brows?" )

No?

No? You would just let us die? If that's really how it is...I don't have to explain jack shit to you.

I have been to your house, America. I've been to your house, England's house, Poland's, Lithuania's, Ukraine's and Prussia's when he had one of his own.

I have met all of our people and I know they are proud and strong. If a crisis or tragedy were to happen, they would come together stronger than before an continue to live. I believe it will be the same when we do not return to them. I have faith in my people and I believe all of us should as well.

I also know that our people can be compassionate and would want to help those in need. I know mine are.

We have never had true wills of our own; our actions have always been dependent on what our people wanted. I believe my people will want me to help everyone here and so I will do as they wish.

And if I die, it will be for my people and not because of another foolish alliance.

I hope you-- and everyone else-- will realize this too before it's too late.

Now get out, hero.

[He clenches his fists, which are starting to shake. America has rarely been seen looking this angry, like he's holding himself back from trying to strangle Spain.]

Well, you can say goodbye to any chance at being protected by either of us, that's for damn sure. That's for damn sure. Why risk my own ass for someone who doesn't even think we're worth saving?

You stupid asshole. I hate what's happening here. But if you told me to sacrifice fourty of my own people, my troops, to save England's life, or you, or any of us, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Would and have.

I wish it wasn't that way! I really do, I wish I could just abandon my responsibilities and we could just be ordinary folks and do whatever we want. But it's not fucking like that.

[pasodoble]

I would rather die than be saved by you.

( Managing the most passive aggressive grin to say that and placing a hand on the door's lock. )

We only have two responsibilities here, America: Live and help each other.

You've already abandoned the latter. Keep protecting England and see what good it does for everyone but him.

( And he opens the door, stepping aside to let America go. )
