Sakura is the only one talking so far, but she's not just upset -- she's incensed, both tears and hatred layering her voice.
"Why--?! I'm stronger than anyone now! No one can scold me, so-- so how can you catch up to me like it's nothing, Nee-san? I was supposed to be stronger than you!"
The entire room shakes. Some of the stalactites rupture from the ceiling and fall into projectiles. More giant shadows start rising from the floor.
"Why-- Why can't you let me have a little thing like this?! Why can't you let me win!"
As for her sister, she remains stoic and silent, mechanically slicing through the shadows with her blade of light as her sister details her suffering, how she was abused as a child, that she only wanted her older sister to save her. Just a steady stream of grievances, like maybe deep down, Sakura is looking for any scrap of affection.
"The ones who made me like this are Grandfather, and my father that sold me to the Matou family, and Nee-san who didn't come save me...! I didn't become this monster because I wanted to...! I was forced to become one because everyone cornered me...!"
And then finally, her sister responds:
"... Oh. What of it?"
Voice cold, unsympathetic.
"Things like that happen."
... Well. That certainly gets Sakura to shut up, slack-jawed. Even the shadows seem stunned. And it seems the older sister is going to take that chance to start running at her, so if Tatsuma wants to intervene, now is the time.]
