“You were one of the first people I talked to when I got here, huh? It’s hard to believe that was so long ago... I really can’t help but be a little jealous that you can keep a smile better than me.”
“Don’t think I forgot our promise! I hope I can see you at a show sometime. And I also hope I’ll be reading something of yours afterwords.”
“Y’know, it’s not like I was rootin’ for you to fail or anything. I mean, you’re super-duper nice and all, huh? I guess it’s just the way I am, to assume you couldn’t keep it up the whole time.”
“Ehe... in that case, I was pretty impressed! With your performance, I mean. Uhhu, that makes it sound like I’m a coach. Not really... I wanted to see you succeed in stayin’ positive and all, is all. And you did! I’m, erm, glad you’re gonna get out, though. Cryin’ doesn’t suit a cute girl like you!”
“Ehe, if you’d like to hang out in the future, I’d definitely not complain! I think bein’ around an attitude like yours would be... good. For me!”
“I can appreciate your spirit but...you’re quick to judge, and that’s coming from me!”
“I understand I was harsh and all but...there was no need for your words, you know? Especially when you know so little about me-- if anything, I know more about you than you ever will about me.”
“I’ve lived with that attitude for a long time...it’s one thing to be upset, and it’s another to endanger others because you’re upset. Smiling through your problems forever isn’t good...but it’s a necessary evil, you know? What can I say? I like to please people-- but if you don’t step up, everyone involved is going to get hurt.”
“...You can’t play hero forever. Sometimes you have to be the villain in order to help.”
“Anyway-- with that aside...you weren’t all bad. You try hard and that’s something I admire quite a lot! But...it wouldn’t kill either of us to take a break.”
