Francis closed his eyes, nodding a little but not speaking. He was just concentrating on keeping the stew down into his stomach. For some reason, it wasn't that bad until he reminded himself that it was England's hand in his stomach, and he had to keep himself from retching at that point. Anything you throw up, you'll be eating again. Jean's words echoed in his mind, threatening him not to let him rid himself of the offensive meal in his stomach.
Italy blinked, staring at the other silently for a few moments, unable to understand what exactly his counterpart meant. "What..? W-what does that mean..? T-that isn't true... He told me; when England said the same thing to me, Germany said that he was wrong! Y-you're wrong!" he said stubbornly, not wanting to believe what the other Italian told him. Germany couldn't hate him now... Right? What had he done? He didn't do anything... He looked down at the floor, wondering if maybe 2P Italy had done something. He didn't, but his look-alike was certainly capable of doing such a thing.
★O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
★O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
★O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine!
★O Beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
