[...Oh. Kaiba's not the only one feeling some slightly distressing familiarity here.]
...Mister Kaiba- you could say the same thing about me, almost. Before I left Atlas, there was- I wasn't just my father's daughter, or one of Mister Ironwood's students. I was his experiment, too. A military project. They still both cared for me very much! But- it wasn't really. Normal.
And then I met Ruby. The friend I mentioned? To her I was- I could pretend to be a real girl, with her. And then she found out the truth, and it didn't matter anyway. There's- there's a lot that I would do. For her.
[Would she kill for Ruby, and would it be any different from what Manaja had done, was the unspoken question.]
...give her- add something for Manaka. Whatever you think is appropriate. But- the other petals, the ones I used, they were from Ruby, I think. Her Semblance. Just- as long as it's not those.
