It's just me and Arianna and Nari left from the mansion. Not counting PAL. Nari and I had a falling out. I hope she forgives me. I was...I was kind of an ass, and I don't even remember what about anymore, and then she got all defensive about Nishi's clothes, and, like, adopted family and all, I guess she's got every right, but--I don't know, we haven't really talked much. She probably hates my guts, which is, like, the most sensible opinion anyone would have of me. Me and Arianna weren't really close in the mansion. We're a little closer here. She's losing her hope. It's...it's hard to watch.

This is nice. This is real nice, Sister. You're real nice.

You'll stay that way, won't you? I don't want to let anyone reprogram you. You're perfect the way you are.
