Why does he get a mommy? He's just... just a replica... but... he gets a mommy? And I'm all alone?...

But... I've got my doll... I can fix things, now...

Where's Ion?... I... I want to talk to him before I...
... No... no... this... this is... my revenge.

Luke! I'm coming for you! Prepare to die!

Bring it on brat! I'm ready to fight!

[picksupstrays]

You must be Luke, I take it?

[nobleredhead]

Yeah. What of it?

[picksupstrays]

Good. I think we need to have a little talk.

First being, don't antagonize Arietta, please.

Secondly, I want to know more about this part where you killed her mother.

[nobleredhead]

I REALLY don't want a lecture.

If she wants to fight, I'll fight her. She won't let me otherwise.

...It's a long story.

[anisesucks]

You killed Mommy! It wasn't Mommy's fault our forest burned down! Mommy just wanted to protect her babies, and you killed her!

[nobleredhead]

What would YOU do if an angry liger wanted to eat you?! She wanted to FEED us to her babies! Why can't you understand that? I didn't know she was your mother!

[picksupstrays]

Then don't do something stupid like antagonizing her. Do you really think this place needs more violence, considering how much we already get on a daily basis?

Arietta can be talked to. You just need patience.

And believe me -- I have time to hear the tale, if you have time to tell it to me.

[nobleredhead]

Tell HER that.

She won't listen to me. I've tried.

...You'll probably think I'm a murderer...I'll only tell you if you want me to.

[picksupstrays]

I did. I believe she listened to me.

What I'll think will depend on circumstances. But I really want you to tell me, okay? I want to understand what's going on here.

[nobleredhead]

She won't listen to ME. She hates my guts.

I...uh...fine...

[picksupstrays]

Then I'll keep talking to her. Okay?

Thank you. I really want to know.

[nobleredhead]

You don't have to. It won't make a difference.

It's not a problem. Do you want me to meet you?

[picksupstrays]

She seems pretty calm now, so I think I have to beg to differ.

All right. Is that dining hall okay?

[nobleredhead]

Calm doesn't matter. That little girl always has some kind of rage in her.

Yeah...sounds fine.

[picksupstrays]

Most people do when they're upset about something like this. It takes a lot of patience to work through it.

Thanks. I'll see you there. Oh, um. I'm Harry, by the way; I'm sorry about demanding this, but I really want to know.
