...Yes. But...wow. That's beyond what I was expecting. Did she actually hurt you?

[zerotohiro]

That part didn't hurt, but she definitely was trying to literally freeze us out before then. I guess that was her last resort when we weren't leaving. She was pretty serious about doing things on her own.

[faithfulflame]

Which...[A sigh.] is understandable. She thinks it's right. And that we're beneath notice.

[zerotohiro]

You don't agree with her, do you? Or any of them for thinking like that? [He knows she doesn't but...the fact that it's understandable doesn't settle well either.]

[faithfulflame]

That we're beneath notice? Of course not. They underestimate every single person here, and it's a line of thinking that reminds me of the enemies I had at home. [With not taking the girls seriously.]

Think about the common thread everyone here has, and tell me why I should agree with any of them.

[zerotohiro]

Because even with everything we've done and everything we've been forced to do, we're no closer to getting answers than they are. [It's a pessimistic outlook, but he's a little discouraged by everything lately.] But other than that I've got nothing.

[faithfulflame]

Everyone here is rather extraordinary, is more what I was getting at. [Don't get discouraged. Just get more motivated.]

[zerotohiro]

[He stares at her for a second...and then sighs. But at least there's a tiny grin.]

Why do you always know what to say even when I don't want you to? [Thanks Rei.]
